"Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee Filing Bill To Cut Funding To Any State That Doesn’t Change “Stand Your Ground” Laws To “Duty To Retreat”"… Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said Wednesday that she would soon introduce legislation that would cut federal funding to any state that doesn’t require neighborhood watch programs to register with police.

Jackson Lee said her Justice Exists for All Act is a response to the trial of George Zimmerman, who was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter charges after shooting 17-year old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman was the neighborhood watch coordinator in the Florida neighborhood where the shooting took place.

“We will … decrease the incidence of gun violence resulting from vigilantes by reducing by 20 percent the funds that would otherwise be allocated… to any state that does not require local neighborhood watch programs to be registered with a local [law] enforcement agency,” Jackson Lee said on the House floor.

Obviously she has neither read nor understood the Constitution she has sworn to uphold.

Every since Shelia announced that Man has landed on Mars, I don’t consider her statements as rational or informed.

I guess you must have never listened to her before then.

Some people watch car racing for the crashes. Shelia Jackson Lee is like a drunken car race in the rain with worn out tires - she's not going to make it around the first corner.

that State should cut off all tax money going to the Feds!

“Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee Filing Bill To Cut Funding To Any State That Doesn’t Change “Stand Your Ground” Laws To “Duty To Retreat””

Okay. Let’s have an amendment to this bill requiring punishment for any one who puts someone else in a position from which they have to exercise the duty to retreat.

The jails and prisons are full, so the punishment might be something like a term in public stocks on the courthouse lawn, with the option of being pelted with rotten fruit and vegetables for those whose offense is particularly egregious.

I think her idea is GREAT! Pass the bill and then all states can create a “stand your ground” law. PRESTO! That will cut federal spending!!!! Do It.

The federal government fails to protect the States from invasion, sues them to prevent them from protecting themselves ... and now this BS.

What SHOULD happen is every State should cut funding to the federal giverment..
EAsy to do.. just pass a State law forcing every remittance the federal givernment (from that State) to go thru a clearing house account..

AND TAX IT... forcing all Banks to monitor it..
Review all of it...
AND force ALL federal givernment employees in that State to be certified..->> subject to lose certification..

Two can play this game..
AND by the way ALL STATE LANDS held by the federal givernment should be seized.. ALL OF IT..
ANY moneys withheld from a State should/could be deducted from money going out of that State..

” decrease the incidence of gun violence resulting from vigilantes by reducing by 20 percent the funds will result in a 400% incidence of violence by thugs that leap out of bushes in a cowardly fashion with murder on their minds”

Okay, so let’s review for a minute here.

Trayvon is sitting on top of Zimmerman and is just pounding the crap out of him.

Where does Zimmerman retreat to?

Does he remove his Conceal Carry shovel and dig his way out of danger?

This refusal by the left to recognize the truth in this matter is beginning to get pretty old. 2014 is going to have to be a solid turnout from the conservatives to hopefully put an end to all of this tomfoolery

How are you supposed to retreat when a 170 pound child is on top of you, trying to suffocate you while pounding your head into the concrete?

“Stand your ground” law is just a clarification TO THE STATE of a basic principle: if one is justified in using deadly force against another, retreat is not a viable option.

You cannot legally require someone to not legally defend themselves under the very conditions which make self defense legal.

Do you really expect rats like Sheila Jackson Lee to be able to read cursive?
