Black panthers put 10k bounty

What a crock of fucking shit.

I was reading some of the comments people left on the major outlets, it seems the general consensus is the "stand your ground" law is going to provide people the ability to have a defense no matter what.

People actually think it is going to turn into the Wild Wild West with this law in place, which I find funny because in reality anyone can go kill anyone they want all day long. Sure you might end up in jail for life but you are still dead...

Stupid people

I feel the law is nice as the Castle Doctrin (correct me if I am wrong) only allows you defend yourself at home or in your car...not if you are attacked while walking the street which can be just as deadly as someone entering your house...

More deadly in my opinion.

Michael Frank Goodwin walked around for 18 years after actually killing 2 people and Trayvon's dad is bitching about 44 days?

Not true. They are all referred to a grand jury, but they don't all go to trial.

That's what it was, it's been a while.

I was told in my chl class (taught by a member here) that 100% of defense shootings in Texas go to trial.

legal proceedings after shooting someone as a licensed holder. Maybe it was just some BS my CHL instructor told us though.

I have heard of this myself but I figured all that needed to be done was done during the interview. Apparently the prosecution found evidence the police did not know about????

[Vertnut]

BS, plenty of old stupid people.

Yeah, but I'm not one of them.

Eric Holder just announced that he may pursue federal charges against Zimmerman, too.

[VaderTT]

If all they have are the same "facts" we have, it's bullshit to formally charge him.

Although, I may need to be corrected here - I always thought there was some sort of legal proceedings after shooting someone as a licensed holder. Maybe it was just some BS my CHL instructor told us though.

I find it sad that pressure from society can overthrow our right to defend ourselves and our right to a equal and fair trial...

I mean, the writing is on the wall but I guess a part of me had hope that Justice would push back against what is wrong and standup for what is right. We will just have to wait and see what happens...

Been trying to tell you guys...I didn't live this long by being stupid.
