Old Trooper sends a link to the Fox News<\/a> article which tells us that, in the wake of the public trial being held in the media everyday over the Trayvon Martin shooting, Democrats in the Congressional Black Caucus are ignoring the Tenth Amendment and they’re prepared to present legislation that forbid the “stand your ground” laws which is inforce in 30 states, with 6 others considering the legislation. the concept has in it’s roots, a couple of Supreme Court decisions (Beard v. U.S.- 1895, State v. Gardner – 1905 and Brown v. United States – 1921). But that doesn’t influence the members of the CBC, who are apparently in the business of protecting criminals;<\/p>\n

But the sponsors are working on the measures over spring break and plan to push them when lawmakers return later this month. They claim they’re trying to prevent another killing like the one that has touched off a raging national debate about race and the justice system. <\/p>\n

“I am tired of burying young black boys,” Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., said on the House floor. Martin lived in Wilson’s district. <\/p>\n

Wilson, who organized a rally in Miami Sunday calling for an arrest in the case, is taking a well-traveled path in response to a high-profile case — she’s forming a commission.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It seems to me that someone who is tired of burying “young black boys” would actually do something to prevent that outcome instead of seeking to restrict the rights of property owners.<\/p>\n

I’m sure the CBC is reassured by Bill Clinton’s call<\/a> for a “reappraisal” of the law.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in a link from ROS, The WRAP<\/a> reports that it seems that NBC is launching an internal investigation regarding the editing of the audio tapes related to the Zimmerman 9-1-1 call;<\/p>\n

The edited call, which aired on NBC’s “Today Show” on March 27, featured Zimmerman talking to a 911 dispatcher.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis guy looks like he’s up to no good \u2026 he looks black,\u201d Zimmerman said in the edited segment.<\/p>\n

That, it turns out, appears to be only part of the exchange. The complete exchange went like this:<\/p>\n

Zimmerman: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.”<\/p>\n

Dispatcher: “OK, and this guy \u2014 is he black, white or Hispanic?”<\/p>\n

Zimmerman: “He looks black.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you can’t find news at NBC, you can just make it up, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
