Weren’t there jurors in Zimmerman who thought he was guilty too? This is more media nonsense designed to fan the flames.

I wonder if there would be so much outrage if the defendant was black.

There is a full court press on here in Florida to remove the Stand Your Ground law. Yesterday I had a long day arguing by e mail with an editor about his editorial to do that. He said murders soared after the law was passed. When I pointed out gun crime was down 2% in Florida last year and violent crime in general was down since the 90s when concealed carry was passed, he said it was irrelevant because national crime has been going down too. My final comment was don't hide behind some tangential issue, if you want guns banned say so. I got no comment on that one and we ceased our written debate.

Today the letters to editor all support removing the law so I guess one cannot argue with one with more ink then they have and expect to be heard.

Yep, I live in J’ville and thats exactly what the local media is doing. A few days ago there was supposed to be a “protest” in the form of people riding around with there music blaring for “justice for jordan”. The local media was reporting it would be using social media to help get the word out. If that ain’t stirring it up, I don’t know what is.
