The murder of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida, was a lethal example of the racist and mortally flawed "stand your ground" laws.
If you recall, a "stand your ground" law allows individuals to shoot and, in some cases, even kill other people based on the claim that the shooter "perceived" that their life was being threatened. Technically, the lawyers for Zimmerman (who has since his shooting of Trayvon Martin been involved in several acts of violence and repeatedly tweeted racist comments) argued his case on the basis of what might be called standard self-defense law.

At least we can credit Mark Karlin with some degree of veracity as "Truthout" - with "out" being the operative word - pretty accurately describes the content of his diatribe. The "facts" established at trial revealed Mr. Zimmerman wasn't "white" as claimed. he was physically assaulted by an attacker his physical superior who proceeded to "mount" his prostrate body and rain blows on his head and face and slamming his head into a cement sidewalk. In self-defense he shot his assailant from a supine position at close range. His assailant was a known abuser of the street drug "lean" as well as marijuana. Zimmerman's assailant was also engaged in various criminal activities.
"truth "OUT" , indeed ! |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
