On March 10, a judge ruled that ex-Tampa police officer Curtis Reeves could not claim immunity under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law for fatally shooting an unarmed man in a movie theater. Five days later, the Florida Senate approved legislation that could make it much easier for such trigger-happy Floridians to go free after provoking a violent confrontation. Ain't life great in the Gunshine State? |

Re: Title
Violence used in justifiable self-defense is appropriate, and RIGHTEOUS.
Or, as Harry Callahan so eloquently put it in Magnum Force, "There's nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot."
Yes. Just so. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
