LetJusticePrevail shares: […]  For anyone interested, this link provides access to the full video of the FL Criminal Justice Subcommittee hearing yesterday that listened to debate on HB 4003 that called for the repeal of the FL Stand Your Ground law.
The hearing (and video) was FIVE HOURS long, and it may not be something you want to watch, so here’s the long and short of it:
The committee rejected the bill by a vote of 11-2, (voting FOR the repeal were Dems Randolph Bracy and Kionne McGhee) and the SYG law WILL remain in place. The other bill (HB 89) that addresses proposed changes to the SYG law (but not repeal)and the 10-20-life sentencing guidelines was approved by a vote of 12-1 and will be sent to the general legislature.(only McGhee opposed HB 89, on the argument that it was an “exception to an exception to an exception to an exception and that there were better ways to address the issue of mandatory sentences in of aggravated assault, rather than including them under the umbrella of immunity as provided under statute 776).
So, the repeal of FL’s SYG law died in subcommittee, and the bill that would EXPAND  immunity to include cases where the mere THREAT of force was used in cases of self defense PASSED to be heard by the legislature. These were BOTH victories for FL citizens, and their rights to defend themselves. (more…)

The details surrounding this home invasion are brutal and horrific.   The national media will not report on it because they choose to avoid the uncomfortable reality behind the all too familiar profile…  So once again, the story remains local.

Indianapolis Metro Police arrested Alexander Dupree, 23, along with 18-year-old Trey Spells and 21-year-old Michael Pugh.

Dupree was taken into custody Wednesday and charged with rape, criminal confinement, criminal deviate conduct, and robbery.

“How dare you think you can merely kick in a door and just do heinous crimes in our community. It’s unacceptable,” said IMPD Chief Rick Hite.

Police believe Dupree, Spells and at least two others forced their way into the home near 79th and College, woke the family up at gunpoint, ransacked the house, forced victims to the ATM to withdraw money and sexually assaulted a mother and her daughter. The mother was shot in the leg and three vehicles were stolen from the home. (read more)

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The family of a 3-year-old killed  in a northern Missouri house fire says it is outraged after police used a stun  gun on the boy’s stepfather as he tried to run back in and save the child.
Riley Miller died early Oct. 31 in the Mississippi  River town of Louisiana. A city police officer fired his stun gun at Ryan Miller  as he tried to re-enter his burning home, which was destroyed.
Grandmother Lori Miller says she witnessed two  officers use the stun gun three times, twice after Ryan Miller had been  handcuffed.  Miller suffered chest burns and was later released  from the city jail without being charged.
The family says it is considering legal action  against the city.   City Administrator Bob Jenne called the police  response a “judgment call.”  (article link)

(Via Gateway Pundit)  Media Report by KOB New Mexico – On January 2, 2013, David Eckert was leaving Wal-Mart in Deming, NM and reportedly failed to make a complete stop at the stop sign. He was immediately pulled over by police. Law enforcement then asked Eckhert to step out of the vehicle.
According to reports Eckert appeared to be clenching his buttocks so law enforcement concluded that Eckert was hiding narcotics in his anal cavity.  The officers detained Eckert and secured a search warrant allowing for an anal cavity search.

It gets worse.  Much, much worse.  Like, unbelievably, staggeringly worse. (more…)

OBAMACARE DISTRACTION – Predicted October 21st –  Shooter: Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23-years-old  Originally from South New Jersey – “Assault Rifle“…  “anti-government“….  “fatigues”…   “Friday – Busy Weekend – Hollywood”

A law enforcement official, who was briefed at LAX on the investigation but not authorized to speak publicly, said the gunman was wearing fatigues and carrying a bag containing a hand-written note that said he “wanted to kill TSA and pigs.” The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

Do you understand that headline?   Yeah, me neither…. but I swear that “vocalized sound” (perhaps it’s the general language of nose ringed constituents who cross the Potomac) was the preferred method of communication in this rather odd Washington DC video:

The one constant in an ever changing universe is how progressives are committed to the whole “I’m friends with my children” schtick.   This generic communal immaturity creates profound liberal hypocrisies.    Cue –  Maryland AG, Doug Gansler, who was photographed at his son’s party in Bethany Beach Delaware taking merry pictures of teenagers engaged in binge drinking, and having a grand ol’ time.

Gansler’s first auto-erotic response was to claim he had no moral authority to do anything about the underage drinking….. D’oh….   But then the political “betters” got a hold of him and shaped his messaging to be, well, more gubernatorial.  He now has “regrets“….

Teacher Colleen Ritzer graduated from college in 2011.  She was murdered in school 2013.  She was 24.

“She was gentle, with a big smile,” said Mary Duffy, who has lived next door to Colleen Ritzer’s family in Andover for more than two decades. “It makes no sense.”

 MASSACHUSETTS – A 24-year-old Danvers High School teacher has been found dead, and a 14-year-old boy is facing a murder charge in the case, Essex County prosecutors said this morning.
Colleen Ritzer’s body was found in the woods behind the school, said Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett.
Philip D. Chism faces charges as an adult and will be arraigned this afternoon in Salem District Court, the court clerk’s office said.
Chism had been reported missing Tuesday after he did not return home from school. Ritzer was reported missing at about 11:20 p.m. Tuesday when she did not return home and did not answer her cellphone.
Police searched the school and found blood in a second-floor bathroom. Ritzer’s body was found later behind the school, Blodgett said in a news conference this morning at the high school. (more…)

Joan Walsh is a regular pundit for the MSNBC Chris Matthews Hardball show.  She is also editor for Salon.   A committed liberal hack, who is now screaming mad at anyone who points out the HHS failures for Obamacare.

 (Salon) — As predictably as night follows day, on Monday the media establishment pivoted away from obsessing about GOP extremism and the party’s alleged “civil war” to the “train wreck” that is, allegedly, the Affordable Care Act.
And liberals helped lead the pivot.
Don’t get me wrong: The problems with Healthcare.gov are real, and disturbing, and must be fixed asap. (Think Progress has a dispassionate assessment here.)
But excuse me if I believe the president knows that without my telling him. It’s like watching the 21st century version of the rise of the Democratic Leadership Council, and I feel the way I did back then: On the one hand, yes, it’s important for Democrats to acknowledge when government screws up, and to fix it.
On the other hand, when liberals rush conscientiously to do that, they only encourage the completely unbalanced and unhinged coverage of whatever the problem may be. (more…)

Today, yet another example of a black youth mob attacking a white couple hits the local New York Media.     CNN?  MNSBC? CBS-ABC-NBC?…. = nothing to see here, move along, move along…. It’s simply the same national media approach taken toward the Virginia Pilot mob assault last year; heck, it’s virtually the exact same scenario.
White couple driving through black neighborhood, their car hit and kicked, the driver gets out to check for damage and then WHAMMO the black mob begins their assault.
But reverse the races and this would be national news – So, what gives?

Last year while defending Trayvon Martin, MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry went on a ridiculous diatribe (December 3rd 2012), about America not being a safe place for “young black men” because non-black people are refusing to be attacked by them.
Same insufferable logic surrounding “The Safari Principle” best identified in the mantra of ‘George Zimmerman should not have gotten out of his car’;  To which you can now add several more examples…

THE SAFARI PRINCIPLE – George Zimmerman left his vehicle, oh my!

The hidden subtext could be construed as the following… In modern America, a prudent citizen should know to remain in their vehicle, doors locked, windows up, when there are young black males known to be in the vicinity.

What does this say about our society?

Are we living in a drive through Safari Park?

If we get out of our vehicles we deserve what we get and we shouldn’t blame the animals, much less shoot them in self-defense?
