Trayvon Martin and the lynch mob is getting to me, even up here in Kansas.
I've been following the case since it first hit the MSM. Tonight on Bill O'Rielly had tyhe Martin lawyer on.
He should be either be arrested or disbarred, I did send an email to the Miami Herald and Sanford newspapers.
Don't know if any of them can read English, but hope springs eternal. Next I'll have to email Oprah.
This is the email I sent.
Saw your appearance on Bill O'Rielly tonight. I can't find any direct email for Fox or Bill O'Rielly, maybe you can send this to him or his research staff.
Yes, it is a shame that this case has become such a media circus with comments about fairness, the law and racial profiling. As any student of history knows, under Jim Crow, any black man or woman who killed a rapist, mugger, or burglar in self-defense would be arrested instantaneously.
As police knew, "they're all a bunch of liars."
In response to such racial profiling and arrests that forced a minority to subsidize the bail bondsman or have their car repo'd and mortgage foreclosed, the State of Florida began civil rights law revisions which are intended to protect the life blood and property of minority peoples, whether adult or minor, citizen or visiting alien. It is a real shame and should be a criminal offense for all the suffering the Martin family has been forced to suffer because of the bad faith handling by this tragic instance. Giving bad legal advice when an arrest should be made should be grounds for disbarment if not more extreme if actual physical harm comes to any innocent person of any race, color or creed.
Anyway, since your staff doesn't do research very well, in order to same a little time and maybe lives, I've researched for everybody in Florida the law itself. It isn't Castle Doctrine and it has nothing to do with stand your ground.
