Attorney General Eric Holder blasted "stand-your-ground laws" in the wake of the acquittal of George Zimmerman for fatally shooting Trayvon Martinsaying such laws cause more violence than they prevent. Mr. Holder, speaking to the NAACP Annual Convention in Orlando, Fla., not far from where Mr. Zimmerman was acquitted last week, took direct aim at stand-your-ground laws, which say a person can use force in self-defense without first attempting to retreat from the situation.

The opposite of “stand your ground” is “grovel before your barbarian masters.”
You have to do this in Massholechusetts, you know.

Trayvon Martin now officially identified as phase 3 of going after guns.
Admin said next time (this time) tie in a racial component we can exploit to it.
Holder knows this wasn’t a SYG case. It was a self-defense case.

It was a simple self-defense case and defense.
SYG was not used.
What a moron Holder is. How can the Atty. Gen. not know this?

" thought Mr. Martin was suspicious." No he didn't. Zimmerman thought Martin was acting suspiciously. Zimmerman "profiled" Martin's actions, and became suspicious about him. Zimmerman then watched Martin suspiciously. OTOH, Martin was suspicious of Zimmerman later.

“I am confused, wasnt the case about 2nd degree murder or manslaughter? “
From the beginning this was a faked up case to use the media to engineer public opinion.
Another objective was to get street violence started, hence the overcharging of Zimmerman when there was no evidence. The media pumped the ideas that JUSTICE must be DONE! knowing that the “trial” was set up for an acquittal, leading to the programmed outrage.
Now we are learning one reason why we were subjected to this little play: the play directors want more gun control and more protection for criminals.
It never fails- when criminals get into office, they pass laws making it easier for other criminals to operate.

These ate three of the creepiest and most racist men in the country...or possibly the world. It's scary that so many trust them.
I wouldn't trust Al Charlatan to touch me much less put his hand inside my coat.
