Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is what really terrifies me - the confluence of the complete failure of any kind of gun control whatsoever with the simultaneous movement to add one more situation after another where it's a-ok to kill someone for the slightest of reasons. One or the other is bad enough - the two together are just a ghastly proposition.

Yeah. Plus right-wing paranoia that "Obama's gonna take all our guns", resulting in huge increases in handgun sales and concealed-carry permits.

both sides claimed SD/SYG and it couldn't be proven who fired first. In Florida, natch

So if Joe Biden and Ben Bernanke want to man up and do a replay of Burr/Hamilton, then they should take care of business in Florida.

One hopes Darwinism begins to come into play, and the most rabid loony tunes will remove themselves from the field.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I wonder what will happen when two people claim Stand Your Ground on each other? Or does somebody have to call dibs on the ground?

The living one has dibs.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with the trial of Micheal Dunn, also in Florida, also for killing a 17-year old unarmed Black teenager. I'm sure SYG will end up being the defense.

Maybe "interesting" isn't the best word to use when we're talking about kids being shot and killed.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That's basically happened - there was at least one shoot out (i.e., dozens of bullets flying) and one person killed where noone could be charged at all because both sides claimed SD/SYG and it couldn't be proven who fired first. In Florida, natch.

Note to self: If I should travel to Florida again, add "buy bulletproof vest" to pre-trip checklist along with getting base tan and having oil changed.

Always Anti-fascist!

One of the million things I love about David Simon is how he is the total BOSS of his blog. He throws elbows for a while then says the arguments are getting stupid and he's over it.And he is so famous that even trolls back down. I would send him black, sparkly hearts for that, if he would accept.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Honestly, if that's only happened once, I think their record is pretty good, given people.
