"Lest we forget, the 'stand your ground' law which facilitated the dubious acquittal verdict in the Trayvon Martin case was an NRA and mostly Republican-sponsored law," notes J. P. Green this morning pointing to
the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) laws across the nation.

Good point.

In Wisconsin, lest we forget, Sen. Lena Taylor (D-Milwaukee) voted for this ALEC idiocy, and families rarely get over the life-altering trauma of a murdered family member quickly, if ever.

Privatizing and encouraging murder is not the way forward for Wisconsin, the United States or any civilized society.

Perhaps Sen. Taylor who increasingly appears enthralled with the rightwing in America can announce a re-think in the wake of the Zimmerman trial.
