Florida Gov. Rick Scott held an emergency meeting Thursday night with pro-Trayvon Martin protesters that staged a sit-in outside his office to demand an end to Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law.
Scott, who has been under fire from activists in the wake of George Zimmerman’s acquittal in Martin’s death, met with protesters at the State Capitol and reminded them that he agrees with Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, but that he’s calling for a “statewide day of prayer for unity” to help people of all persuasions move beyond the verdict.

More than 100 protesters from the group Dream Defenders, which previously coordinated with a unit of the Obama administration’s Justice Department, descended upon the Florida state capitol Wednesday demanding to meet with Governor Scott to request that a special legislative session be held to repeal the state’s Stand Your Ground law, which Scott supports. Scott, who is facing tough re-election odds in 2014, initially showed no sign of desiring a meeting with protesters, but eventually caved in at 9 pm ET Thursday night, at the end of Day 2 of the protesters’ sit-in in the lobby of Scott’s office....

“God will not barge in to save us uninvited.”
Good. He can give us a chance to take care of it our selves.
There’s only one way to straighten this out and I prefer god
in more of a logistic and spiritual support than on the
front lines. I’d hate to loose my freewill because of the
ignorance of a primitive culture.
my understanding is that he reference the bipartisan DIVERSE committee that said no changes need be done.
He also reference the fact the law did not just pass, it passed UNANIMOUSLY in the fl senate and all but two reps in the fl house (democrats btw) voted for it.
essentially he out politiced them.
Like the sun rises in the east...
Typical GOP loser.
That, My FRiend , is it in a nutshell. You can like it or dislike it. You can acknowledge it or deny it. You can accept it or fight it. The best way to is accept it is to continue to vote for RINOs such as Bondi Scott, and Rubio simply because, "They are better than the Democrat".
November 6, 2012, the United States of America officially became a Banana Republic. This was demonstrated and affirmed by the show trial of George Zimmerman.
Their agenda is the current success of Detroit.
“God will not barge in to save us uninvited.”
And God isn’t going to insist on being part of our lives as Americans, when America seems to be slamming that door in God’s face with abortions (especially late term abortions), normalizing and pushing the homosexual lifestyle agenda, socialism (robbing from some to give to others), allowing athiests to force the removal of any reference to God or Christianity from every aspect of our lives, etc.
God is turning away from this country and is not amused at the way we’ve allowed the left to drag America to Hell. And I don’t blame Him.
“Their agenda is the current success of Detroit.”
The left’s agenda for America is the current success of Detroit for the entire nation....and for the human-rights scenario in Africa (and China) for the entire nation. Just as the left has made cities like Detroit and Chicago little pieces of “Hell on earth”....they will eventually turn the rest of America into that same cesspool...if we let them.
OK, but your reply should have been directed to the author, not me.
we can pretty much conclude the rent a mobs and astroturfers are from the low end of the gene pool. They are the idiocracy.
God stuck us here with free will.
Copping out by waiting for enough "Gospel of Jesus" or the "finger of God" will get nothing done.
Humans have to get on with it and change things.
I imagine God is disgusted at many Christians for sitting there, whining, sucking their thumbs waiting for something good to happen while the liberal anti Christians labor on, incrementally destroying our country.
Our founding fathers didn't sit around waiting for the "finger of God", they WERE the Finger of God.
A gentle correcting is in order.
It is NOT a cop out, just the facts.
>> It’s been 8-10 generations since slavery and 2-3 generations since Jim Crow. Isn’t it about time that all people got over race?
I’m not speaking to the bygone of slavery.
Ha! I guess my sarc meter is a tad rusty. ;-)
That just won't happen until people get smart enough to NOT let others cash in on what amounts to an accident of genetics.
Actually it went further than just bouncing his head. TM saw that Z had a gun and went for it. Z got ahold of it and shot.
