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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
