Columnist sides with violent criminals against citizenry 
Here's Detroit Free Press columnist Nicole Christian:

You have to wonder whether the Florida Legislature has lost its mind.

It's a legitimate question, given the dangerously nutty idea that body recently passed with unusual speed.

Gov. Jeb Bush is expected, any day now, to sign Florida Senate Bill 436 into law. His pen stroke will make it 100 percent legal to use deadly force as a self-defense option in the Sunshine State. Anyone who thinks they're under attack could, as of Oct. 1, "meet force with force if the person is in a place where he or she has a right to be and the force is necessary to prevent death."


Geez, don't editors
What's more she justifies her assertion here:

The hole in Hammer's argument is that the new Florida law will turn deadly force into a justifiable option for an untrained citizenry. Police officers get weeks of training in the use of all kinds of force, deal much more often with pressure-packed situations and still make bad judgments and deadly mistakes.


...by citing the Amadou Diallo case. Diallo, you will recall, was the guy who was shot 41 times by the NYPD for reaching for his wallet.

So much for the value of training. Christian just yanked the floorboards right out from under her own argument.

You have to wonder whether the editorial board was setting her up.

And so much for critical thought and deductive reasonong at the Detroit Free Press's editorial page.

The idea that any state would sanction near carte blanche use of self-defense when violence is already so much a part of American culture, particularly in Detroit, strikes Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy as irresponsible.


Kym Worthy is not worthy of office. Perhaps she should consider transferring to the public defender's office? After all, she's already not on your side.

"The bill assumes that everyone is reasonable and rational.


Well, by opposing the clear right of self-defense - a principle the UN enshrines into law against Nations and US Policy ensures for its own soldiers and peacekeepers, Worthy is assuming that people who are violent criminals are not violent criminals. I know who has the sounder logical position.


et's just say someone acts with this law as a defense and the 4-year-old in the yard or the 90-year-old walking down the street gets hit," she says. "A bullet has no name on it. How do you control that?"


Easy. A good sight picture and proper trigger squeeze.

Splash, out

I did not get this from what I read. I do not like Florida nor the Bush Family, but I do like this law. I should be able to shoot anyone who is on my property and threatening my person. Sort of a "make my day" law.
