TALLAHASSEE -- With the furor surrounding the Trayvon Martin case and the stand-your-ground law showing no sign of a let-up, Sen. Chris Smith, D-Fort Lauderdale, announced Tuesday that he has formed his own task force to study the impact of the law.
"Florida is in crisis mode," Smith told reporters.

Smith said his task force will include the state attorneys from Broward and Miami-Dade, plus the public defenders from those two counties and Palm Beach County. Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Frank Adderley, former Democratic state Sen. Dan Gelber, and incoming House Minority Leader Perry Thurston, D-Fort Lauderdale, will also be on the panel.

“task force” = “posse”
Florida is in crisis mode? Really???
How many gang killings have happened in Florida since Trayvon Martin????
Is this just liberal hyperbole? Remember that idiot sheriff dude in Arizona, right after the Giffords shooting, who claimed that Arizona was ground zero for hatred and violence and all that? It didn’t matter that we found out that shooter was screwed up in the head and non-political. A political statement had to be made. A Democrat congresswoman was shot, thus, it had to be inspired by politics. (sarcasm)
Michelle needs to slap all three of them and exchange the candy for lettuce.
LOSERS, all 3 idiots!
What time’s the hanging, Chrissy?
never let a crisis go to waste.....if florida is in crisi mode it is due to the lefties starting the crisis....
Yeah, never mind that three branches of government/separation of powers thing — it just gets in the way of justice, right???? [end sarcasm]

Just sat next to Newt Gingrich in the Delta Sky Club in the Atl airport. If you are flying commercial maybe it time to get out the race!
If so, where is the report?
More importantly, was there a tox-screen for drugs alcohol, etc.?
Perhaps Trayvon was off to find some Skittles and ice tea to satisfy the "munchies" and "cottonmouth."
He’s not getting the message from the Super Zip libs, “drop it.”
"If they wish to have a war, let it begin here."
she is exhibit A of a modern day racist.
If it was not for racism she would be unemployed.
“Florida is in crisis mode,” Smith told reporters.
Yes it is. Brought on by the Race Bait Industry, politicians looking to score some points and the National media looking to distract Americans from Obama’s failing Presidency
What is required in Florida is a leader. not a pack follower.
Mr Smith, you are not a leader.......
and how will he obtain these state attorneys? when did they have carte blanche to be political?
Stand your ground is a popular AND GOOD law. It neutered the left and the trial lawyer nuisance suite industry.
These government officials sure believe that they are royalty. 'Since Mr. Gingrich doesn't fly first-class, he must not be fit to run for office'.
Certainly shows the mindset of Mr. Smith.
