When the Florida House passed legislation Wednesday to bolster the state’s Stand Your Ground law–adding new protections for citizens’ natural right to self-defense–dejected Moms Demand Action members looked on from the gallery with faces marked by disappointment.

Moms Demand volunteer state chapter leader Michelle Gajda said, “It’s absolutely heartbreaking.”

According to the Miami Herald, the legislation is contained in Senate Bill 128–a bill designed to remove the burden of proof from the citizen and shift it to the state. It does this by requiring prosecutors to use a pretrial hearing to prove a defendant cannot use Stand Your Ground in his defense.

Aw geez. People being able to defend themselves is just so awful. Maybe she needs to move to CO with her mentor and head cheese shannon watts. They could commiserate with each other. And plot more intrusive infringements to attempt to put in to law.

I did notice they managed to invoke tres-gone martin and his “senseless” killing into the mix.

These people can go pound sand.

They want you to roll over and surrender to whatever some thug breaking into your house wants to subject you to.

I despise these people.

“This bill is trying to put the burden of proof where it belongs, on the state, because all people are innocent before being proven guilty.”

Is this constitutional [/sarcasm}? Imagine, having to prove guilt before property forfeiture. You can see where this is going - a free citizenry and limited state authority. Who knows where that could end.

Mothers of predators everywhere just became more anxious about their spawn.

These women life in a galaxy far, far away. Yet not far enough.

Dear “Moms Demand Action “,

Keep your kids in school, enforce homework hour, teach them good manners and basic civility, enforce a curfew, hold them fully accountable to their actions. Odds are they won’t be on the wrong end of a firearm if you have a loving but firm hand on their shoulder guiding them through their youth.

Respectfully,

Father of 4 with no criminal records.
(Shamefully, is that a bragging right now???)

They want you to roll over and surrender to whatever some thug breaking into your house wants to subject you to.

They're probably the mothers of those thugs. And no mother should have to worry that her baby's going to get killed breaking into your house, taking everything you own, and beating you senseless. That's his civil right! Apparently.

Ever notice how these leftist or feminist organizations often have “Demand” in their title? Not request, but demand.

My philosophy with people who get in my face is “back off b*tch, or I will cut you”.

They need to relax and few things are more relaxing than a boat ride out into the Gulf Stream.

There is nothing sadder than the sad, sad tear of a sad fascist. Sic semper tyrannis

They should change their name to Mothers For Predators.

Black thugs and their welfare whore “moms” shed a big tear. Remember that Trayvon’s “mom” hadn’t seen him in nearly two years before his timely death. Now she is cashing in big time.

[Covenantor]

Almost right....Mothers Of Predators...

MOPs hoping to mop up some moolah.

..........I think that’s called The Basic’s...............good post, I totally agree. I have two grown kids, both outstanding citizens!

According to the Miami Herald, the legislation is contained in Senate Bill 128–a bill designed to remove the burden of proof from the citizen and shift it to the state.

The fact that it was ever the case that the defendant had burden of proof for anything is a sad commentary on the state of our legal system. The burden of proof for everything should always be on the state in criminal trials and on the plaintiff in civil cases.

[Little Ray]

Their pain pleases me.

Your kids got not street creds without a record. What were you thinking? LOL!
