US Representative Jackson Lee from Texas is proposing to cut federal funding to 40-60% of states. Why? Because she apparently thinks that criminals' rights to assault others is somehow more important than an individual's right to self defense and that the victims should be required by law to run, hide, withdraw, beg, plead and be victimized while the criminal remains free to continue their lawbreaking another time and place.
Where does 40-50% come from? Different news reports since the George Zimmerman non-guilty verdict have estimated that between 22 and 30 states have "stand your ground" laws. That's 44-60% of the United States.
Why this attack on "stand your ground" laws? Good question, since it was NOT a factor in the Zimmerman trial. Zimmerman's defense declined to use "stand your ground" and defended him with a standard "self defense" defense. So, why? Because liberal, progressive politicians believe that 'no good crisis should go to waste' (paraphrase from Rahm Emanuel) and will absolutely exploit every tragedy and situation they can to push forward their political agenda - whether there's a legitimate connection or not.
How did this come from Texas? It just goes to show that really, really stupid, arrogant, ignorant people exist everywhere and can ascend to the ranks of our lawmakers - even in Texas.
What Lee needs is to be dropped into Thunder Dome where it's kill or be killed. Then, whether she survives or not, she'll finally understand what it means to face a life and death situation, like people do every day outside the safe confines of Congress.
