ORLANDO — Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. strongly condemned so-called “Stand Your Ground” laws here Tuesday in a speech to the NAACP that addressed the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin.

The laws “sow dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods,” Holder said, by “allowing – and perhaps encouraging – violent situations to escalate in public.”

The motives behind this case are becoming obvious...the race angle was simply icing on the cake.

I am so confused now. Zimmerman didn’t use a “stand your ground” defense. Didn’t it not even apply, seeing as the shooting was self-defense?

What is Holder (and everyone else for that matter) smoking?

I used to think that talk of civil war 2 was crazy...now not so sure with the Feds sounding more like a foreign power every day.

If Holder is against it, I am for it.

Eric Holder considers violent crime to be an acceptable career path for “his people,” and armed victims to be an OSHA violation, especially if they are white or half-white.

Radical race-pimps want to disarm us — not going to happen.

Holder, your boss, and certainly your mouth, is “sowing dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods” and “allowing – and perhaps encouraging – violent situations to escalate in public.”

I thought the stand you ground law was never part of the case.

I have a simple rule. Assault me and I will kill you.

Fine rule you have there, sir.

Holder is unfit for his position. His statements legitimate protestors' violent acts which are in fact racially motivated.

[SoFloFreeper]

I suggest Eric the Red take the same route as Stevie Wonder and refuse to do any business in states with such laws.

One of many a$$holes in the Obama administration with blood on his hands who needs to be dealt with when we have a legitimate group of people in charge.

NOTHING is going to happen to these assclowns. Not one damn thing.

Someone should inform Holder that predecessors to Stand your Ground laws were the basis for successful self-defense against the KKK.
