    This is not about Zimmerman, that's a straw man.

    Hello again, Steve:

    No? Ok. We can leave Zimmerman out of it.

    THIS is about guns, Florida, incompetent cops and Stand Your Ground.

    And, SPECIFICALLY it's about WHO'S actually a victim. You call a guy who gets hit in the face with a pile of sh*t, a victim - at LEAST to the point where he's JUSTIFIED in shooting somebody over it... Personally, I'd pick the guy who got shot as the victim..

    Yes, throwing feces in someone's face is assault. That would make the one assaulted the victim, fact. That the assailant will be killed by some right-wing gun totin' zealot standing his ground, well that's just fiction.

    Guns will already be banned in and around the convention, so the left is just finding more ways to be "up in arms" for no good reason.

    In a response dated the same day, Scott suggests that Tampa is overreaching in its request. Already, he says, the Secret Service will ban firearms inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum itself as well as in a security perimeter immediately around the convention campus.

    “You are now requesting that citizens be disarmed in all of downtown Tampa, including in areas across the river, and distant, from the convention center and Secret Service safe zone,” Scott wrote.

    Hello again, Steve:

    It ain't the INSIDE of the convention or even the few blocks around it that's going to be the problem.. OWS'ers aren't going to be allowed inside or anywhere NEAR it, anyway. But, it's a BIG city, and the conventioneers will be staying in hotels ALL over.

    Look. I HOPE I'm wrong. I don't want trouble.. But, I can see it coming.

    I'd be more concerned about the Democrat Charlotte convention. Actually ,come to think about it.. my biggest concern right now would be Chi-town hosting NATO We already know that gun play is a city pastime .Maybe they should suspend conceal and carry laws there .
    Oh wait.. there is already a law in Illinois banning conceal and carry. Good thing it makes the city such a safe place to be.

    Like I keep saying, only one side is going there to stir up sh*t and it isn't the convention goers. Try focusing your concern where it should be instead of fantasies.

    Seems you should be more worried about what might happen in Chicago in a few days.

    Bill Ayers to students: join me and help drive NATO out of Chicago on May 20



    Isn't that something? Obama's terrorist friend taking on Rahmbo's city and NATO, and I'm assuming Obama will be there to represent us. But don't you worry about concealed carry, Rahm is packing a much bigger weapon to deal with those angry occupiers and company.

    So ban guns what could go wrong?
    May be they will ban Muslims too hay some think Islam is responsible for terror attacks and a war we are fighting.
    Ban gays while you are at it didn't they bring HIV to the human population?
    Then ban women according to the biblical creation story they brought sin and mankind's fall from grace.
    Your's or mine ignorance, fear and intolerance should not be tolerated as the basus of governance in our society.

    OK here is where many would speak of the constitution, I would just like to remind you that once something is banned or someone is excluded it is easier for the society to an other things and the next freedom they take or groupe the enslave could effect you or be you.
