Wish the Travyon supporters would watch, but they would just stick their fingers in their ears and start singing. (Happened to me when a family member started condemning Zimmerman and I brought a few facts to the table.)
However, nine years ago then-State Sen. Barack Obama actually co-sponsored a bill that strengthened Illinois’ 1961 “stand your ground” law.
The Obama-sponsored bill (SB 2386) enlarged the state’s 1961 law by shielding the person who was attacked from being sued in civil court by perpetrators or their estates when a “stand your ground” defense is used in protecting his or her person, dwelling or other property.
Having seen many of the text messages from Martin to his girlfriend, and the disgusting, sexually abusive content of them, this “kid” was already lost. It was a matter of time before he killed someone, and that night GZ may have been that person had he not acted.
Well said and as accurate as can be.

I’m glad to see this piece by Whittle getting some play outside the usual political sites. More people need to see this.
Reblogged this on The Firewall.
Whoa! Excellent video.
There are so many crimes and real corruption around this case it is unbelievable.
Heads need to roll. Leftist heads.
