I call BS!!!!

On both of them. Stand your Ground had nothing to do with this and wasn't even argued. Yet, Whorealdo and Janine are discussing it, couched and cloaked in this travesty but, giving weight of the argument to Trayvon and others.

It's just plain sickening that they are conflating an issue not brought up during the trial and arguing it has to end.

I argue that Stand your Ground informs the original victim as to when they should act from the question of "When, should I act in defense of my life", which causes hesitation for fear of being in error to narrow law that doesn't give the original victim the freedom to defend themselves in a timely manner.

The question that the original victim should be asking is "Should I act now to save my life?"

In that, there is no ambiguity as the evidence has already been built forcing the question.

So where else can I go to watch this without those two acting self righteous?

Wow!!!!!! The defendant is Hispanic, and suddenly Whorealdo sounds like Rush Limbaugh, only more conservative.

My alternative would be just turn off the TV. I don’t think you are going to get anything worthwhile there.

I don’t like watching either one.

Geraldo is in it for Geraldo. He is always going which ever way the wind blows to stay relevant and make money.

As for Janine, she is in show business too as much as Jerry Rivers.

Some like to look at her because she’s a female, but I’m not here to be seduced into watching the RINO news channel.

I actually like to watch news, not sensationalism to draw me in as presented by seductresses.

The BBC World News channel may be more Marxist Leninist than any other channel but they are a lot less sleazy and I prefer to watch it.

Janine just clearly (and correctly) stated that this was a self defense case, not a Stand Your Ground case.

I can’t stand them either

But the other channels are so much worse, they all basically say Zimmermann is really guilty and got away with it and all America is just so devastated about this travesty of justice.

They all also seem disappointed that so far there are no riots.

Anytime Whorealdo comes on I grab the clicker and go
Natl. Geo or History channels.

My answer to Fox when it comes to Whoraldo is I turn the station OFF.

“Is there an alternative to Whorealdo and Judge Janine?”

Yes!

Kill your television.

Develop alternate sources of information.
(The internet, maybe?)

Without TV, movies, and other mass media, there is a potential alternative reality...
real reality - the old fashioned kind.

I gave up TV a decade ago and never regretted it, since I have the internet. I have access to all the greatest thinkers in politics today and tons of Classical books and I know who to trust-—just go to their threads (like Thomas Sowell)-—and, of course, FR and read the comments.

The news shows pick up people who have a bias and most will only stick to the talking points that the network allows. They have an agenda-—and strict rules—even Fox News with their “French Youths”-—that is when I dumped Fox, years ago—when the Saudis bought into their network.

I don’t bother with any of them unless there is a featured outstanding speech-—such as by Ted Cruz or his father that is featured on a conservative site-—other “ideas” aren’t worth the time and they are just meant to make you angry anyhow or twist perceptions. Go to original sources.....don’t get second hand commentary unless by a very trusted person.

Not many out there to “trust” IMHO. If they are famous for a long time and MS-—they have probably sold their soul to keep from being like a Brietbart and Michael Hastings. They are probably part of the Hegelian Dialectic-—although seemingly on the Right-—they are moving us Leftward.......by increments. The old frog in the pot theory and the water is almost boiling.

Alternative to Whorealdo and Janine?

Of course there is. Back to back Everybody Loves Raymond episodes on Saturday night. :)

You would think WheresWaldo would remember what it was like to have a broken nose. He did say the case should have never been brought, but backed down from the Blacks.

Trayvon made the mistake of trying to mug an armed man.

Whorealdo is seriously considering a senate run on the Republican ticket in the mid-terms.

He announced this months ago on the Factor.....and either he or O'Reilly bring it up every once in a while when they're on together.

So you can expect Rivers to be in a much more conservative mode for the foreseeable future, even though his new-found ideology is as fake as Angela Corey's eyelashes.

The real outrage is that they gave time and sympathy to Anthony Makowski's mother on the show. Acquaint yourself with the case for a moment and then decide if the woman they allowed to trash self-defense as a defense was telling the truth or not: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=1064137&page=1#.UeI03knD-Uk

[By the way, a jury awarded her and her husband $1.5 million in a wrongful death lawsuit against the proprietor of the establishment where the non-crime occurred, then subtracted $500,000 from the award because even the civil jury agreed that her son was substantially responsible for his own death.]

A bad night for the Judge. As for Jerry, is anyone really surprised? Yes, tonight Jerry actually called Juan "Brain Cell" Williams "the most intelligent commentator on television."

And it got worse, they brought on a woman, who claimed her son had been strangled for 4 minutes and that the perp successvully used Stand Your Ground to get off.

I googled this and found a website with a table of all the Florida Stand Your Ground cases. Only 2 contained elements of strangling, both victims were women.

So, Whorealdo and Judge Jeanine bring on a woman on live tv to make an emotional case against SYG without any vetting, without any evidence that what she says is true. The whole Martin case has been used as a hammer to attack SYG (actually self-defense). They lose their case bigtime and continue on with the attacks of self-defense.

Judge Jeanine was really off her meds last night. I had to turn the channel. I thought they were going to have to put her down. :-)

I like Judge Janine, personally. She has the guts to say some things that most men shy away from, especially RINOs.
