I posted this as a comment to another thread, but I thought it deserved a thread of its own.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Every word that comes out of that viper’s mouth is some transmogrification of a half-truth.

[Sender]

I would like to point out that Trayvon Martin DID “stand his ground”, by beating the cracker out of the guy who was following him.

[soycd]

This DFSOB is going to start a shooting race war.

[Secret Agent Man]

it’s clear obama has no understanding of syg, or does and is just lying about it.

the “threatened” isn’t just anxiety or nervousness or irritation. the “threatened” is is fear for your life or grave bodily injury. There has to be something reasonable people would see as denoting that. Being followed by someone is not that level. Having someone on top of you punching you in the face and slamming your head on the sidewalk, is.

[mountn man]

Lets be honest here.

Obama is pushing all the buttons, to start a race war.

He wants one.

He is pushing for a full on civil war in this country, so that he can twist the last screws in his fundamental change of this country.

He will declare martial law and burn what's left of our constitution.

Laws will be what he decides and enacted as how he deems.

[thorvaldr]

OK, that statement does cross the line from a black racist doing normal grievance mongering to a Marxist trying to start a race war so that he can declare martial law

[The Working Man]

I think that this is all part of the plan. For some reason these people are terrified of the Stand Your Ground laws. Think about it, if they can get a whole bunch of cases into court that use SYG incorrectly then they can get the courts to overturn the SYG laws entirely.

So... Tell me what is it that terrifies them or at least bugs them about SYG?

My own feeling is that they see these laws interfering with some action they have planned in the future. If so... What is that action?

[TigersEye]

SYG, Castle Doctrine and other self defense laws have roots in the push back against Jim Crow laws. Yet today's knee-grows line up to help the Progressives destroy all of the progress made to secure black families.

[Old Sarge]

Does that include Agent Smith in the black Suburban parked across from my house?

[Secret Agent Man]

I think with these comments Obama has every desire to have a race war begin in this country. I never thought I’d see a president advocating for a race war.

He knows just being followed, by itself, is not the level of fearing for one’s life. Technically if you are walking behind someone you are following them whether you’re following them on purpose or not.

Zimmerman had followed Trayvon, lost him, and then went out looking for the closest street sign to meet with officers. Then got attacked (got his ass whooped - Jeantel) and defended himself. That is not him defending himself for no reason.

He is deliberately trying to start a race war. This man should be removed from office. He is a clear and present danger to the United States of America. He is trying to institute rebellion and anarchy in this country. On purpose. To foment insurrection. To cause disruption and to continue his assault on the 2nd Amendment and those citizens who a gun owners and ccw holders.

[nathanbedford]

In effect, that is exactly what Travon Martin did, he resorted to deadly force with his fists and cement probably because he had left his gun into Miami gardens. It cost him his life which he forfeited because he committed the crime of assault. The innuendo to the effect that George Zimmerman committed any crime or committed any act which justified a reaction by Travon Martin is outrageous. To imply that Travon Martin might have had a right to "stand his ground" and began shooting borders on the criminal.

Obama is behaving disgracefully. His demagoguery is all the more vicious because he is, or claimed to be, a visiting lecturer in constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law school. For the president the United States and a pedagogue of his alleged pedigree to misstate the facts and so distort a hypothetical in this manner is so grotesque that it is contemptuous of his audience, the good name of George Zimmerman, and the law.

[plangent]

I heard the Pres. say as a yute he could have been Trayvon. And that brought up an image of Obama in a hoodie, mixing up a DMX and counting the looted jewelry on his bed.

Then I can see Obama in the fog of night drizzle, turn and attack the citizen on neighborhood watch.

Oh, wait!!! He’s gangsta’d up, choomed up and stole from the citizens. He’s mugged us all with his various crack-pot solutions to fringe element complaints.

Yep, as a yute, he could have been Trayvon.

[Dallas59]

George Zimmerman before he became white...1998

[Little Ray]

The only way it would have been “Stand Your Ground” for Martin is if Zimmerman had threatened or attacked. We know he did neither.

[Political Junkie Too]

Yes, you can now shoot if you hear a car door lock or if someone crosses the street as you approach.

[chris37]

Being followed does not place your life or the life of another in imminent danger, Mr. pResident, you awful excuse for a lawyer.

Hopefully, your bad advice does not land anyone who listens to it in jail or dead, because then their blood would be on your hands, not that it would matter to someone such as yourself.

[Standing Wolf]

Lenin’s toe nail clippings could tell lies more convincingly than President You Didn’t Build That.

[I want the USA back]

He has trouble hiding his contempt for crackers.

[semaj]

"Okay, sure, he meant it in a sarcastic way to try to make the legitimate use of SYG laws seem wrong by this ridiculous comparison. But the young, angry, low-information, I-am-Trayvon-Martin protestors may not make that distinction, and could possibly interpret this as a call to arms!"

You make a fatal mistake in providing Obama with the benefit of ANY doubt.

[Teacher317]

Obama - If You Feel Threatened By Being Followed, Then Maybe Under SYG Laws You Can Shoot!

Not exactly good legal advice or statute interpretation. Are we sure that he graduated from Law School?
