Is there a “Cruz Girl” yet? Is Obama Girl ready to switch parties?
Cruz does nothing more than to state the obvious.
The permanent chip on certain shoulders was on full display. There was no shortage of luminaries. The funniest was a black law prof from Harvard.
The world's once most deliberative body gets down in the weeds over that which is supposed to be left to the states.
If the senate wished to know the background of FL stand your ground, all it had to do was invite a legislator or two from FL. Duh.
Here’s a great opportunity for Mr. Cruz to say nothing, a conversation best not engaged in.
The confrontation between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin was not a “stand your ground” set of circumstances.
But it WAS an act of self-defense. Zimmerman did not pull out his gun until AFTER he was getting his head bounced up and down on the concrete sidewalk, which he perceived as a life-threatening situation.
For all the talk of controlling “bullying” in schools, Trayvon was sure acting an awful lot like a bully. Physically more imposing than Zimmerman, and approaching with an attitude of “teaching that creepy ass white cracker” a lesson, Trayvon was definitely the assailant.
And that is what bullies do - they assault. Often with minimal provocation. Or none at all.
It’s all particularly obnoxious since the stand your ground law had nothing to do with the case. If you are attacked you are in a situation beyond standing your ground or running away.
Take the stand your ground fight to Detroit and watch their argument crumble. Detroit leads the nation on Justifiable Homicides and about 98% of those are blacks defending themselves from blacks.
Trayvon didn’t run from his aggressor when he was already at his dad’s house and easily could have. So, she is saying her son is at fault for attacking his perceived aggressor.
Ms Martin, you raised your son to be a THUG... your son was a THUG, now he is a DEAD THUG...
If he was in School that day, instead of buying candy, he would be ALIVE TODAY!!
