  • Stand your ground law, what's wrong with it?

    Here is the text of the law. I don't see anything wrong with it:

    The 2011 Florida Statutes

    Title XLVI

    CRIMES Chapter 776

    JUSTIFIABLE USE OF FORCE View Entire Chapter

    776.013 Home protection; use of deadly force; presumption of fear of death or great bodily harm.—(1) A person is presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another when using defensive force that is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm to another if:

    (a) The person against whom the defensive force was used was in the process of unlawfully and forcefully entering, or had unlawfully and forcibly entered, a dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle, or if that person had removed or was attempting to remove another against that person’s will from the dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle; and

    (b) The person who uses defensive force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry or unlawful and forcible act was occurring or had occurred.

    (2) The presumption set forth in subsection (1) does not apply if:

    (a) The person against whom the defensive force is used has the right to be in or is a lawful resident of the dwelling, residence, or vehicle, such as an owner, lessee, or titleholder, and there is not an injunction for protection from domestic violence or a written pretrial supervision order of no contact against that person; or

    (b) The person or persons sought to be removed is a child or grandchild, or is otherwise in the lawful custody or under the lawful guardianship of, the person against whom the defensive force is used; or

    (c) The person who uses defensive force is engaged in an unlawful activity or is using the dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle to further an unlawful activity; or

    (d) The person against whom the defensive force is used is a law enforcement officer, as defined in s. 943.10(14), who enters or attempts to enter a dwelling, residence, or vehicle in the performance of his or her official duties and the officer identified himself or herself in accordance with any applicable law or the person using force knew or reasonably should have known that the person entering or attempting to enter was a law enforcement officer.

    (3) A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.

    (4) A person who unlawfully and by force enters or attempts to enter a person’s dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle is presumed to be doing so with the intent to commit an unlawful act involving force or violence.

    (5) As used in this section, the term:

    (a) “Dwelling” means a building or conveyance of any kind, including any attached porch, whether the building or conveyance is temporary or permanent, mobile or immobile, which has a roof over it, including a tent, and is designed to be occupied by people lodging therein at night.

  • Do you trust a sheriff investigation or is that also not enough?

    “A six month long investigation conducted by my cold case posse has lead me to believe there is probable cause to believe that President Barack Obama’s long-form birth certificate released by the White House on April 27, 2011, is a computer-generated forgery. I do not believe that it is a scan of an original 1961 paper document, as represented by the White House when the long-form birth certificate was made public.”

  • Does not funding something equate to a ban?

    Why are liberals giving the impression that Republicans are trying to ban a woman's right to birth control by not requiring Catholic organizations to fund it?

    No one buys beer for me, does that mean that it's being banned from me? Just like I can still buy beer, women can still buy birth control.

    lies!

  • Do we have rights because the government grants them?

    I hope you don't believe that humans have rights becuse the government grants them. We have rights given by God...we only entrust the government to protect them...don't let them forget that!

  • How can any company comply with this requirement?

    U.S. Pushes Target for Hiring the Disabled .

    an Obama administration effort that calls for federal contractors to hire a minimum number of disabled workers and could penalize those who don't by revoking their contracts. Under the Labor Department plan, most firms that contract or subcontract with the federal government would be asked to have disabled people make up 7% of their work force.

    http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100014240529702045...

    The disabilities act prohibits asking if one is disabled, so how can a company meet the qouta without asking a prohibited question?..Obama liberalism at its best.

  • Does is surprise you that the Obama administration likes high gas prices?

    Energy Secretary Chu Admits Administration OK with High Gas Prices

    Chu admitted to a House committee that the administration is not interested in lowering gas prices.

    Chu, along with the Obama administration, regards the spike in gas prices as a feature rather than a bug.

  • What's with hate crime laws?

    How can the government possibly know that you committed a crime with the specific thought of hate? Do we prosecute thoughts now?

    How is assault, battery, murder, etc...on one group of persons different from another? The end result is the same.

    We are supposed to be equal under the law. With hate crimes some people are less equal and others more equal.

    Equality is not something that a government can grant or deny a body of citizens; for this right is unalienable. Our Bill of Rights can be more accurately thought of as a list of restrictions (placed on government) that secures a citizen's civil liberties. Exclaimed King in 1961: "[Our Declaration of Independence] says that each individual has certain basic rights, which are neither conferred by nor derived from the state. To discover where they came from it is necessary to move back behind the dim mist of eternity, for they are God-given." (Noyes "Historical Speeches")

  • When did the schools start revising American History to ignor the religious nature of our founding?

    "I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth--that God Governs the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?"

  • Would you pay for a bad product?

    If the government wastes your hard earned dollars on nations that hate us, on programs for the lazy, to pay the overpaid and privileged government workers then why would you advocate for higher taxes?

    That's what I don't understand about the liberals...they want to force me to pay for a bad product
