Trayvon Amendment
US House Democrats have proposed an amendment with mechanisms to force states with “stand your ground” laws to remove them using the coercion of the purse strings.
This will serve to make it official. Only our wise government overlords and criminals (yes, these are one in the same) can use force.
Don’t be fooled. This has nothing to do with Trayvon. Regardless of what really happened with Trayvon (contrary to popular belief, the media is not a jury of anyone’s peers — remember Duke Lacrosse), he is now both unfortunately dead and a pawn of a ruling class bent upon preserving preserving their monopoly on deadly force.
This effort ignores the fact that the guy can still be found guilty! Let the state figure it out.
Shoot first is not the way we should be doing things here.
