There have been various court rulings that say an individual citizen has no right to be protected by the police, that his safety is primarily his own responsibility. The Stand Your Ground Law is only recognizing this.

“That is exactly the advice my wife’s first husband, a retired state trooper, gave me. Didn’t buy it.”

Neither do I. It’s one of the reasons Col. Colt’s and a couple of Mr. Ka-bars always lie close at hand.

The one intruder I’ve had in my 60 odd years got to ride in the local emergency vehicle, sirens blaring. The Sherrif deputies responding to my call thought it was pretty funny........After all, an old guy like me shouldn’t be giving lesson on CQB.....

So pounding someones head into a pulp is now due process?

No, we're supposed to believe that's "social justice". The "due process" was the aggrieved attacker deciding someone's head needed pounding.

FAMU, it’s Staff, Faculty and alumni are all parties in the death of Robert Champion! http://www.ajc.com/news/champions-mates-paint-horrid-1444810.html
For years the that organization has looked the other way when the band did their Hazing. Another thing that is now showing in the light of day, is non-students being in the band. One must ask why is a non-student allowed in the band?
Where was this hotbrand, Patricia Broussard, an FAMU constitutional law professor and her astute fellow harpie Valerie Bant-Wilson when FAMU was killing Robert Champion?

“Mazella Smith, chapter co-chairman of the forum, articulated that the purpose of the educational forum was to educate and not litigate the particulars in Martin’s case.
Mazella, what are the chances you and your cronies might hold a forum on the illegalities of crime and the chances for harsh job related injuries or death?

It is duly noted that all participants in that forum are registered Democrats!

“how the law might pre-empt the law enforcement community”
SCOTUS and other courts have ruled that LE is NOT responsible for the protection of individual citizens, even if said citizen has a court issued restraining order against a perpetrator. See Castle Rock v. Gonzales, No. 04-278.

(L.E. ‘Community’ should be replaced with ‘industry’ as in the “military industrial complex” because it surely is an industry, leading us rapidly into a police state.)

No formal procedure existed at Florida A&M University to verify enrollment status of Marching 100 members before they were allowed to travel, said former band director Julian White, who announced his retirement Thursday.

“We didn’t have a process,” White said in an interview Thursday. “There were not stringent rules in place to verify that our students were in fact enrolled at school.”

White’s comments came a day after university officials revealed 101 band members on the roster last fall were not enrolled in the required FAMU band course. Three of them were among the 11 charged last week with felony hazing in the beating death of drum major Robert Champion on a band bus in Orlando following the Florida Classic football game.

Don’t take away the “due process” allow civil suits, but limit the damage award to $1 for deaths in commission of a felony and add a loser pays provision in any case.

This way you will get a functioning justice system that eliminates any bonus for criminality.

If I remember correctly Howard University lost it's accreditation many years ago.

It was the Howard School of Medicine's Emergency Medicine program that lost accreditation (with the other medical programs in trouble).

Howard's Law School should lose accreditation, however, because Howard's graduates have a terrible bar exam pass rate (only 59% pass in NY, which is where most seem to take the bar exam).

Madame Broussard is unaware that it was government that took away Rosa Park’s God-given rights. She needs to get educated.

Also, has she identified the group of disenfranchised voters who?:

1. have so little to do with the state that they hold no identification

2. care so much about the state that they must vote.
