Not to worry, it’s only a drill…
Nevermind, it is only a training exercise….

Um, what exactly are they drilling, or training, FOR?

Seriously, everyone is reporting on “what” they are doing.

Fine. I get that.

Is anyone asking “why” they are doing it?

Use this thread as an open thread just for Zimmerman Case stuff. A place to just dump, collect, or discuss general information about the Trayvon Martin VS George Zimmerman Case.

“The sensationalized, fact-deficient coverage of this case has achieved the
desired results. The networks got their ratings. The politicians got their
talking points. And if it means innocent people get caught in the middle of the
racial enmity they’ve fomented, obviously it’s considered acceptable collateral
damage. Congratulations, geniuses. Job well done.” Jim Treacher, The DC Trawler

I’m sure we did something like this back in the sixties, so don’t bust my chops.   But, this just seems soooo  wrong.   Poor little fella.   Will they get him back, or was this just a one-way ticket?

Maybe I’ve got a little more ‘treehugger’ in me than I like to admit, but this picture just seems terrible…..  I’m definitely not a card-carrying member of PETA, but sheeesh, I feel horrible for the poor monkey.

WASHINGTON DC – President Obama reiterated his determination Monday to see Congress act to reduce gun violence.

“The only way that we’re going to be able to do everything that needs to be done is with cooperation of Congress,” he said at the start of a meeting with Vice President Joe Biden and law enforcement officials from the Major Cities Chiefs Association and the Major County Sheriffs Association.

“That means passing serious laws that restrict the access and availability of assault weapons and magazine clips that aren’t necessary for hunters and sportsmen, those responsible gun owners who are out there. It means that we are serious about universal background checks, it means that we take seriously issues of mental health and school safety,” he said.
