Which one is that?
These two cases are in no way the same..below is a synopsis of the Rowan case.
Rowan gained public notoriety on June 14, 1988, when he shot a teenage trespasser, Neil Smith, who was on his property illegally. He was charged for firing a gun that he did not legally own. Rowan was arrested and tried. During the trial, he argued that he had the right to use whatever means necessary to protect himself and his family. Critics charged hypocrisy, since Rowan was a strict gun control advocate. In a 1981 column, he advocated “a law that says anyone found in possession of a handgun except a legitimate officer of the law goes to jail—period.” In 1985, he called for “A complete and universal federal ban on the sale, manufacture, importation and possession of handguns (except for authorized police and military personnel).” [4][5]
The thing is Bulwinkle, we need a race riot right now in 2012, not in 1988.
And when you don’t have a race riot when you need a race riot, what do you do? You manufacture a race riot.
Gonna be an interesting summer I expect :(
How come we don’t hear about the BLACK kids who poured gasoline on a WHITE kid and lit him up?
Thus creating the saying “A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged”.
There is no use trying to make Zimmerman look in any way noble. From everything I have read he is a hot head, cop wannabe who provoked this episode.Evidently the kid got involved in physical fight with Zimmerman and got shot. I believe it should have been investigated properly. What the real issue in this case is, is that all the race baiters have come out of mothballs looking to make headlines. That is what is disgusting. They led the public to believe that Zimmerman was white and that this was a white on black crime. Every person of color is moaning that whites are looking to kill black males. The fact that zimmerman is hispanic and visibly so has made no difference. It remains a “white” crime.
Seriously, that's a great one. For those who don't recall, and assuming I can recall correctly, Carl was a famous (to himself anyway) media figure in Chicago; a writer for the Trib, I think. Anyway, he was a huge anti-2A voice always raving about ‘Saturday night specials’ and the usual malarkey. So, one dark night, a youth jumps the fence in Carl's swanky backyard and takes a swim in his private pool. Carl comes out and pops the kid with an unregistered (aka: illegal) handgun. Now, here's the best part: in the ensuing furor as the media sought to ignore and minimize the sh*t all over their faces, Carl holds a press conference and stridently declares (something to this effect): ‘While my political enemies crow, let it be known that as long as our streets are awash in guns I will protect my family!’ This was declared in his best MLK rolling gate cadence. That was truly priceless and should be broadcast from NY to LA hourly for the next 30 days.
I remember that incident and Rowan was a big anti 2nd amendment guy. Except he didn’t mean it for himself, just other people....
