If You Need It Before Then, Tough

Ohio delays 'Stand Your Ground' law that would expand gun rights for residents ... It’s a law, very similar to that in Florida George Zimmerman cited during the Travyon Martin case. [More]
But he didn't cite it. And the curious thing, ABC affiliate WEWS, is that your network reported on that.

Funny how News 5’s Political Analyst Tom Sutton doesn't seem to grok who has the burden of proof.

Curious: A reporter, two anchors, a director, a producer, assorted news staff and a legal "expert" and no one seems to know the basics on a story they're presenting under the guise that they're authorities the public can trust to bring it to 'em straight.  All they need do is cite the Zimmerman name and they automatically plant in a significant portion of their audience the notion that the proposed law is hateful, harmful and something to oppose.

I could be mistaken but If I recall correctly Zimmerman did not cite stand your ground in his defense.

"Zimmerman" equals Dog Whistle?

The RINO governor and Clinton aficionado, John Kasich, has threatened to veto the legislation when it crosses his desk.

Kasich as a Congressman in 1994, voted to give Clinton his "Assault Weapons Ban". Kasich is a anti-2A, gun-gun-controller and treasonous weasel.

Can't let facts get in the way of narrative.
