Wife jailed for 20 YEARS for firing warning shots to scare off abusive husband finally walks free - after legal campaign against 'unfair' Stand Your Ground law made infamous by George Zimmerman's trial [More]Now these people know how to write concentrated talking points!
Except they may have left out the "white privilege" part (I don't know because I couldn't force myself to slog through so much dense hyperbole).
Which means it's up to an old ammosexual gun-humper to recall an inconvenient truth:
To show discriminatory application of the law, the Zimmerman outcome is juxtaposed against that in the Marissa Alexander case, ignoring that Alexander was not under attack when she left her house, went to her garage, retrieved a gun from her vehicle’s glove box and returned to the house to point the gun “in the direction” of her alleged abuser who had his hands in the air, and then fired a shot. To cry Jim Crow racism here, especially since all involved were black, is at best misguided. So that, naturally, is what the editorial does.That, and of course, Zimmerman's attorney didn't present a SYG defense.
Personally, I'm glad she's finally out. I hope she learned her lesson and everyone now agrees if she's safe enough to be living among us, she's safe enough to get her gun back.
What? We're being lied to? And none of the "progressives" screaming about how Alexander has been denied her rights want her to get a fundamental and supposedly unalienable one back?

Too bad she relied on the Vice President's advice to fire a warning shot to scare away the intruder.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the defense called "Warning Shot Joe" as an expert witness?
