Will anyone say it? The people who championed, passed and signed "Stand Your Ground" into law in Florida are surely as guilty of killing this 17-year-old boy as the loser who pulled the trigger.
We cats are disgusted. We're not saying that Democrats are perfect. But when it comes to being in the National Rifle Association's pocket — when you consider who authored, voted for and autographed the law that empowered a fat vigilante to sentence to death a kid carrying ice tea and Skittles — well, you're looking at Republicans.
...One of whom yesterday endorsed Willard Mitt Romney (right before the Etch-a-Sketch kerfuffle erupted), and whom the media portrayed as some sort of on-the-young-side eminence grise of the Grand Old Party.
We cats say, what a farce. That's because Jeb Bush signed the "Stand Your Ground" bill into law in 2005 — the same year that he, his brother (The Worst Person Who's Ever Lived), and the Republican party went wild trying to keep a private citizen from fulfilling his wife's wish to die with dignity. It all happened exactly seven years ago yesterday.
In other words, the Republicans are supposed to be so pro-life that they're willing to force a feeding tube on Terri Schiavo. But when it came to passing a law that was predicted to kill young black men, they were all for it. Incredible.
We've really got to keep this party from winning any more elections.
We've just got to.
