sumbuddy take sharpton “to the BRIDGE” Yall

[spodefly]

Is “Stand you ground” any different than say, a cat turning around and attaching itself to the dogs face, fighting back, maybe to the death?

Have African-Americans become such pathetic collectivists that they want to deny a right that every living thing has — a right to fight back against predators?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Ummm, yes.

[ozzymandus]

So how many welfare recipients go to Disney World and drink Tropicana? Just asking.

[montag813]

PLEASE BOYCOTT! Florida could use the lower crime rates.

[Ray76]

Why doesn't Sharpton, Fulton, et al ask Obama to explain his Illinois Stand Your Ground law?

[smokingfrog]

That does it. I’m boycotting Illinois. ;)

[Graewoulf]

Yup. Well said.

[VerySadAmerican]

First of all, Trayvon Martin’s justified killing was not about “stand your ground”.

Second, just how much money are they spending now?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Wonder where all the money is coming from? I guarantee you it’s not Sharpton or Fulton’s wallets.

[Still Thinking]

Stand Your Ground Could Spark Boycott (Sharpton, Trayvon's parents, etc.)

Why did they wait so long to tell us?? We could have passed SYG 15 years ago if we'd known!

[Still Thinking]

“Sharpton is an anachronism.”

Wrapped in a cretin.

Now that's funny right there, I don't care who ya are!

[The Working Man]

What kind of person runs out and trademarks their son’s name?

---

The same kind who isn’t in her son’s life for much of his life and when he does live with her kicks him out of the house to go stay with his father and Father’s girl-friend when he gets suspended from school.

Just remember his thug behaviors really got moving along the high speed track while he ‘lived’ with her in Miami. The drug use, the burglaries etc.

Statistically speaking that young black man was streaking down the highway to a life in prison or where he ended up... taking the dirt nap.

[Lion Den Dan]

A boycott by those people would be a big security boost for the boycotted businesses.

[DaveA37]

“A call for boycotting two of Florida’s largest companies, Disney and Tropicana”...

Attendance will sore and prices will more than likely go down as odumbo’s sons and daughters go “flash mobbing” somewhere

[N. Theknow]

Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin

Lucia McBath, mother of Jordan Davis

Hmmm...

[Joe Brower]

This was on SNN6 out of Sarasota this morning; they short-stroked it for at least two whole minutes of airtime.

The usual blather, whining, bitching and moaning we've come to expect.

Just a pack of self-pitying chip-on-their-shoulders sheep. The real thing they hate is that, with CCW so effective here in Florida, it often means when they act like violent criminals they get shot. Can't have that!

Florida Freeper

[Squantos]

good point ….

[SoFloFreeper]

The biggest surprise came at the end: A call for boycotting two of Florida’s largest companies, Disney and Tropicana. That’s because the two support the group that pushed Stand Your Ground...Organizers say they’ve given the companies until April 4th to help support the repeal or face the consequence. They chose that date in particular because it’s the day Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.

I don't care about Disney....but Tropicana may deserve some sort....these thugs need to LOSE big.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Bye-bye, revrund. Can’t miss you if you don’t leave.
