Name two on the night in question.
I have noted no relationship in the past between what you consider the quality of a post and the seriousness of your response.
I can't change your ignorance at your own reactions. Only you can do that. I can say that your reaction to that article was that of a racist.
Just make sure you don't call up some random philosophy professor by mistake (I don't even teach philosophy).
I still wonder what the reaction will be if Zimmerman is found innocent.
Get over that ******** racist crap. It is the defense of a weak mind. We both know you do not have a weak mind so abandon that idiotic defense.
As for Marissa Alexander I have never heard of her or her case. Details?
I'm not party to this thread, really, but it sounds like you just pretty much called the board racists.
Reality is never the efense of a weak mind.
Summary: black woman from Florida, was being attacked by an abusive husband, fired a warning shot which hit no one, denied Stand-Your-Ground status, going to prison for 20 years.
He's gotten in the habit of doing it.
Hey One Brow, your race card is all worn out, you're going to have to replace it.
If she feared for her life she shouldn't have fired a "warning shot." In this instance it didn't hurt anyone, but the best way to be sure innocent people aren't hurt is to fire directly at the center mass of the person threatening you. She showed that she has no knowledge of the proper use of firearms and she created a deadly situation for other innocent people in the vicinity.
Firing a warning shot demonstrated that she didn't feel that she was in imminent danger. She made the case against herself. It's the same thing if you carefully aim at the thigh or arm. If you had the time and ability to do that then you most likely were not in imminent danger.
In the military "warning shots" were always strictly forbidden any time I carried a firearm.
No it isn't.
As for that case. 20 years? That seems extremely severe. There must be more to the story. I am not willing to take sides based off the words of a man that uses racism as a defense for everything.
It has been my experience in life that the one calling everyone racist is usually the one with that problem.

I was curious myself, so I googled her name, clicked on the first link and read an article about her case and the law and it seems One Brow is correct and that the law is absolutely ****ing retarded.
If that is the case then it is retarded and she should not be in jail.
She is a victim of mandatory sentencing. Florida has a mandatory 10-20-Life law that requires specific sentences for certain crimes committed with a gun.
Let's get rid of mandatory sentencing and stop calling people racists.

In this case the mandatory sentencing is indeed idiotic. However there are certain crimes that I believe warrant a mandatory minimum sentence. Such as murder, rape, child kidnapping...hard crimes.
Things are what they are.
It's quite obvious you didn't read the details of the case. Feel free to proclaim racism played no part in that. You probably even believe it.
I don't recall having defened anything with racism, just pointing it out. What do you think I am defending?
You mean, the people who are affected by a problem are more likely to point the problem out? Duh.
There is also racism is in being denied Stand-Your-Ground status, and immediately arrested, despite being apparently less culpable than Zimmerman.
You don't need a mandatory sentence to get the sentencing right. You need good sentencing guidelines and judges who follow them. Mandatory sentencing is horrible in every way in my opinion. They have led to countless tragedies like this and haven't done damn thing about crime.
