I hope so, and I hope it comes soon!

What happened to that young man (Trayvon Martin) is just horrible.

Somewhere else.

Would love to hear Rev. Al's thoughts on that.

...the shooter would already be on death row.

This, and Florida, is fucked up.

The Florida legislature and ex governor fat boy bush ought to be charged as accessories in Martin's death.

And wearing a hoodie!!!!!

Sadly that's the logic at play here.

(The retreat requirement imposes a restriction on self-defense: in addition to a threat of death or serious injury, the defender had to show they had tried to retreat, or that retreat exposed them to greater danger. Court decisions had already removed that requirement within the defender's home or business).

What's remarkable is the press coverage. It's ... actually pretty balanced. Am I the only one noticing a certain change from the days 10-20-30 years ago, when Brady Campaign or Nat'l Coalition to Ban Handguns could make any claim it wanted and have it favorably reported (Forget having their press releases reprinted as news stories: there was one hiliarious case where it went the other way, an AP story was so one-sided that one gun

Ed Shultz starts with coverage as well.
