Understanding Stand Your Ground

THE WHITE HOUSE REPORT

So the Trayvon Martin case is over for George Zimmerman, or is it? Now the Feds, via Eric Holder, are looking into "Stand Your Ground" laws, which are in one form or the other, part of state law for roughly half the country. There is only one very big glaring problem with this stance, the Federal Government can not selectively vet or censure state law - period!

But what we are seeing is the Obama administration putting forth the effort to do just that.

So you didn't like the verdict handed down in Florida. You don;t like that your trumped up charges of race are being ignored. The race baiters are banging at your door demanding unjust justice. So ramping up your illegal and well oiled unconstitutional disdain for the due process of law, you are now going after more "pulled from your @#$%^&" charges to get satisfaction on the previous/above stated circumstances.

As I have previously stated here, this is the most criminal administration in the history of this country. I can only state "here we go again" at this latest positioning by Mr. Holder. Let's be clear on something, this principle of law has been around since the Roman Empire, yes THAT long. Why? Because simply stated, if you have no other choices available, you may defend yourself, your family and property against imminent PERCEIVED or real danger and/or harm.

This means against anyone or anything, even with deadly force if necessary (view link here).

Update: An article from Michelle Malkin's blog:

Even the prosecution rejects the cynical attempt to tie Martin’s death to Stand Your Ground. Prosecutor John Guy couldn’t have made it clearer during the trial: “This case is not about standing your ground.” During their post-trial press conference, as conservative talk show host Victoria Taft first noted, a Miami Herald reporter asked the prosecution team specifically whether Stand Your Ground “affected the facts in this case and whether this case could have been won, perhaps, pre the changes in the law.”

Prosecutor Bernie De La Rionda replied: “You know, self-defense has existed for a long time. And we’ve dealt with it in Jackson for a long time. We’ve tried a lot of self-defense cases; I’ve personally tried 10-15 self-defense cases. They’re tough cases, but we accept it so … the law really hasn’t changed all that much. Stand Your Ground was a big thing, but really the law hasn’t changed. We have a right to bear arms and a right to self defense.”

In short, Stand Your Ground did not kill Trayvon Martin. Stand Your Ground did not sway the jury. Stand Your Ground saboteurs don’t have a leg to stand on. Columnist Jacob Sullum observed drily: “You might think that, given all we now know about Zimmerman’s actual defense, critics of ‘stand your ground’ laws would have to find a different, more apposite case to illustrate their concerns. Instead they just barrel along, citing the same phony example again and again, without regard to the facts. It does not inspire confidence in their argument.”

This is a common sense law that protects you against prosecution when the law must be applied. Now there are many considerations here that must be understood why Obama and company would go after these laws. When fully understood we get a glimpse into the pending police state practices this administration wishes to employ against the American citizens.

1. Wrongful prosecution or seizure of persons or property of interest
2. No inherent right to ownership or control of home or property
3. No inherent right to protect yourself or family from any form of invasion, harm or control
4. Introduction of new or abused actions by the government without recourse
5. Self defense under the outlined law can be considered a criminal act
6. The eventual control and banning of ownership of guns
7. And much more....

So before you go to sleep tonight, understand that there is a radical change to America, it's values, it's laws and power of which this administration is trying to seize. I am not a conspiracy pundit, but I have eyes and ears that I strive to keep open, and knowledgeable. This administration is no friend to this country, and it's being proven everyday to those who wish to see.

God bless America!
