Hmnph. "Big Think", but no talk. No provision for comments, which is typical of those sites where exposing their bias and misinformation is a no-no.
So I'll do it here.
"They point to George Zimmerman, who was instructed by law enforcement not to get out of his SUV or approach Treyvon Martin."
This false meme is repeated ad nauseum by those who have been corrected already and dismiss the correction as irrelevant. The truth is that Zimmerman was already out of his vehicle trying to keep Martin in sight, and was then told AFTERWORD that "We don't need you to do that.", whereupon he immediately headed back toward his car. It was then he was jumped by Martin, and dispatchers have no color of authority to issue orders in the first place. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |
