So, less of the following in FL due to the boycott: Idiots who think GZ wasn't defending himself, " Black Community" Sharptonites, and white-guilt liberals.....Sounds like an ideal time to visit the Sunshine State!
Stevie Wonder is a blind animal, who despite his vision loss, can still see his racist views clearly. Stevie, go to Africa and see how you get treated. Screw you and I officially boycott your music. You Blood Clot.
We all had been planning a trip there, but decided as a whole to cancel and go to California instead. It's a small thing we can do to show support for the Martin family, as well as reinforce what others are doing to make a statement against laws designed to allow haters to kill with impunity. For that is all that "Stand your ground" really means. Just this weekend we heard of two other events coming out of that state where someone has gone off the deep end and killed for no logical reason. One of these cases involves another young black youth. This happened in front of a convenience store. This time the issue was about loud music, and perceived disrespect. Where a white man gets out of his vehicle and fires 4 times into an SUV with four black teens inside. He fires off another 4 shots as the car is trying to leave the area, killing one young person. By all accounts this young man was a good person. To his family, community, friends and schoolmates. Enough of this insanity already. We'll do what we can to help.
Stand your ground wasn't even invoked, ever - this was a textbook case of self-defense. A preponderance of the physical evidence (including all expert testimony) indicated that GZ was on the ground being beaten, and thus unable to retreat, and the prosecution was not able to produce a convincing argument to the contrary. Whatever its merits, SYG had absolutely no applicability to this case. Zimmerman would likely have been acquitted in any state of the Union.
Boycott! Really! Wow. Now it will be worth going.
blah, blah, blah......a young boy is dead because he followed him and harrassed him. He wasn't doing anything wrong!! He deserves to be in jail!! Zimmerman is a Policeman-wannabe. My heart goes out to the family.
I am going to Florida and I am going to recommend to all my US Constitution Loving brothers and sisters to go and spend lots of money in Florida! This is all about someone that has the fundamental and constitutional right to defend himself! This is not about White on Black (or Hispanic on Black) Violence! It is about the right of every American to defend him or herself!
Self-defense is a fundamental right. The U.S. constitution, the constitutions of 44 states, common law, and the laws of all states recognize the right to use arms in self-defense. Right To Carry (RTC) laws respect the right to self-defense by allowing individuals to carry firearms for protection.
The Supreme Court, striking down the District of Columbia’s handgun ban in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), ruled that “the inherent right of self-defense has been central to the Second Amendment right,” and that the amendment protects “the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation. This meaning is strongly confirmed by the historical background of the Second Amendment.” In Beard v. U.S. (1895), the court approved the common-law rule that a person “may repel force by force” in self-defense, and that, when attacked, a person “was entitled to stand his ground and meet any attack made upon him with a deadly weapon,” as needed to prevent “great bodily injury or death.” In the Gun Control Act (1968) and Firearms Owners’ Protection Act (1986), Congress said that it did not intend to “place any undue or unnecessary Federal restrictions or burdens on law-abiding citizens with respect to the acquisition, possession, or use of firearms appropriate to . . . personal protection, or any other lawful activity.”
RTC reduces crime: Studying crime trends in every county in the U.S., economist John Lott and David Mustard concluded, “allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons deters violent crimes. . . . [W]hen state concealed handgun laws went into effect in a county, murders fell by 8.5 percent, and rapes and aggravated assaults fell by 5 and 7 percent.”
RTC success: Florida has issued the most carry permits–nearly 2 million—but revoked only 168 (0.008 percent) due to gun crimes by permit-holders. Former Colorado Asst. Atty. Gen. David Kopel: “Whenever a state legislature first considers a concealed carry bill, opponents typically warn of horrible consequences....But within a year of passage, the issue usually drops off the news media’s radar screen, while gun-control advocates in the legislature conclude that the law wasn’t so bad after all.” An article on Michigan’s RTC law: “Concerns that permit holders would lose their tempers in traffic accidents have been unfounded. Worries about risks to police officers have also proved unfounded.... National surveys of police show they support concealed handgun laws by a 3-1 margin....There is also not a single academic study that claims Right to Carry laws have increased state crime rates. The debate among academics has been over how large the benefits have been.”
Police aren’t required to protect you: In Warren v. District of Columbia (1981), the D.C. Court of Appeals ruled, “police personnel and the government employing them are not generally liable to victims of criminal acts for failure to provide adequate police protection . . . . [A] government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any particular citizen.” In Bowers v. DeVito (1982), the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled “[T]here is no constitutional right to be protected by the state against being murdered by criminals or madmen.” So if the Police are not by law required to protect us, then tell me WHO IS?
The 2nd Amendment States: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The security of a free state......We as American have the right to be secure, not t
I would boycott Disney World to proest senseless murders.
