He actually used the word assassination.

Watched it on the news. I had to go outside before I'd have to buy a new TV.

I haven't been following this since day one but did all this crap start right out of the gate or did all this racism bs and cult following transpire afterwards?

The shooting happened six weeks ago, this bullshit has only popped up in the last two weeks, more or less.

Won't happen. Look who he represents. He'll be there until he dies.

[SS Junk]

What a bunch of fucking bullshit.

Shit like this convinces me that America's biggest enemies are right here in our communities, media, and our government. I hope it all goes to hell so we can start over, soon.

Maybe not in our lifetime, but anarchy will happen no doubt.

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - If you believe that a man or woman’s home is their castle, then perhaps you feel the same way as handgun owner, Mike Schneider. “I feel it’s important to be able to protect my family,” said Schneider.

In Texas, the Castle Doctrine allows residents to protect their property from intruders. “In Texas, if somebody is trying to get into your house or get into your car, you have a right to use deadly force to stop them,” explained CBS 11 legal analyst, Jerry Loftin. “You don’t have to wait until they’re inside the place,” added Loftin.

In Florida, the “Stand Your Ground” law gives residents there a much wider scope outside of the home to use deadly force, rather than retreat.

Florida’s law also allows police on the scene to determine whether self-defense was justified. Police discretion sometimes means that self-defense cases are not always filtered through the legal system for the courts to decide.

Former Florida Governor, Jeb Bush, spoke at UT-Arlington Friday and said the claim of self-defense in the Trayvon Martin case should not have been left up to the sole discretion of the police. “How will a police officer know if a person is standing their ground until there is an investigation”, asked Bush. “Clearly, there should have been an investigation and clearly that’s what’s happening now,” the former Governor added.

Nearly 300 students, neighbors and children rallied Friday on the campus of Paul Quinn College in South Dallas. They too questioned the Florida law that allowed neighborhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman, to go free after he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida.

Democratic State Senator, Royce West of Dallas, says the Florida shooting has him rethinking the Castle Law in Texas. “I’m going to ask the Lt. Governor to have the Criminal Justice Committee of the Senate study the Castle Doctrine in light of the Trayvon Martin assassination in Florida,” West told the applauding crowd.

The shooting has even President Barack Obama challenging Florida’s law and other laws like it. “I think all of us have to do some soul searching to figure out how does something like this happen”, said President Obama. “That means we examine the laws and the context for what happened,” the President added.

Those calling for Zimmerman’s arrest want to know why he pursued Trayvon Martin, despite being told by a 911 operator that it was unnecessary, and that he should wait for police to arrive.

He actually used the word assassination.

That must be an old Navy term. My 78 year old dad has been known to use it.

My grandfather was Army and then Airforce and he always used that acronym as well.

(NewsCore) - Trayvon Martin's mother retracted comments she made Thursday describing her son's death as an "accident," saying she believed George Zimmerman shot the 17-year-old "in cold blood."

Speaking to NBC's "Today" show Thursday morning, Sybrina Fulton said she thought the fatal encounter between Zimmerman and her son "was an accident."

"I believe that it just got out of control, and he couldn't turn the clock back," she said. "I would ask him, did he know that that was a minor, that that was a teenager and that he did not have a weapon?"

But later Thursday, Fulton said in a statement to MSNBC that her comment was "mischaracterized," adding that "in NO way did I mean the shooting was an accident."

"We believe that George Zimmerman stalked my son and murdered him in cold blood. The 'accident' I was referring to was the fact that George Zimmerman and my son ever crossed paths. It was an accidental encounter," Fulton's statement said. She went on to add that her son was "profiled, followed and murdered by George Zimmerman, and there was nothing accidental about that."

Zimmerman, 28, made his first court appearance Thursday, a day after being charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Martin. At the brief hearing, the Florida judge scheduled a May 29 court date for Zimmerman to be arraigned on the charge.

Zimmerman shot and killed the unarmed African-American Martin on Feb. 26 while serving as a neighborhood watchman in a gated community in Sanford, Fla. As weeks passed without Zimmerman being charged, unrest increased throughout the US over the role race may have played.
