TN black caucus calls for review of 'Stand Your Ground' law

[Guest Charis]

Someone should probably point out to them that the Florida stand your ground law, by percentage, protects MORE blacks than it does whites or hispanics.

 

Just sayin...

I actually went through TN Legislature, found that there seem to be 17 blacks:

 

Senate: 1 man, 2 women

House: 8 men, 6 women

 

- OS

 

That's a gaggle, as well as a caucus :)

[Oh Shoot]

I would indeed assume the cacophony coefficient is likely higher than in most assemblages.

 That's racist  :drama:

I'd comment but, I kind of like it around here... Other than to say...

 

Know thy enemy and make a plan.

It seems like some of these black "leaders" are fine with selling em out just like black African slave traders.

I reckon many actual slaves were similar. They got all things from their owners and never even considered the fact that they were enslaved.

Some things haven't changed in a few hundred years.

[Oh Shoot]

 That's racist  :drama:

 

Sociological comment, based on observable stridency of black legislators appearing on mainstream media.

 

Not PC, though, I admit.

TN Black Caucus, who gives a $hit what they think?  I certainly don't, and I won't loose a wink of sleep over their ramblings.

[Guest ThePunisher]

Its not about SYG laws, it is about disarming the people and turning us into sheep.

Baa...Baa...Baa....

I'm getting real sick of this ####. Was the Zimmerman case just too complicated for these feeble minded douchebags to understand? Amazing

If you make up your own narrative, you don't have to see what's in a trial.
Those pesky commies don't care what the trial was about. It's only their
job, Mike. Be compassionate, calm down. :D

OS, you posted that you could only find the names of the Chair and the Exec Secretary.  That's two members.  Just speculating but perhaps the poster sees TN as an abbreviation for ten.  Hence, there must be eight more.  Possibly a joke? 

 

I, personally, have never had a need to abbreviate the word ten.

"TN black caucus" = Tennessee black caucus.  It has 17 members, the noise from whom I could do without.

Let me just point out that this coming week in my home state of WV that a 1000 dollar a plate fundraiser is being held for Senator Manchin by none other than Mayor Bloomberg. Tell me that they are not coming to other states. Colorado can happen here, and it could start very simply. Sure you can build a coal plant, but it will bankrupt you. Sure you can have a gun, but we will bankrupt you.    

 

Be cautious and aware of things like this is what I am saying I suppose.

I don't think anyone is so complacient that they think it can't happen here.  At the same time, I don't think any such measure(s) would gain ground here because there is one universal truth about politicians; they all want power which means they all want to be reelected.  I think much more than a majority of them know that if they ever tried to turn back the clock on the gains we've made in the past 15-20 years it would make the income tax fiasco look like a playground scuffle.

Kinda like the American Medical Association......it's on 8% of all Doctors. And the majority of them are in it for the logo when they are starting out.

Come on guys, help me out here.  I hired Stevie Wonder to sing at my birthday party, and now he won't come because of our Stand Your Ground law.  I asked him to look into is heart and find a way to forgive us and he said, "LOOK into my heart?  I'm BLIND!" :cool:

It's amazing that the great legal mind of the AG will review the case for civil rights violations but has no desire to review the stop and frisk laws in the communist cities.

[dunndw]

Here's a review...it works...leave it alone.

 

All done and it didn't cost the taxpayers one flippin dime.

Yep. We reviewed Florida's review. If you wanna be "safe", move to New York. :)

Given the track record of Gov. Haslam and Speaker Harwell with respect to firearms rights in TN, their absolute worship of Lamar Alexander and the desire to maintain a "Most Favored Southern Republican Administration" status under the current President, nothing, and I mean nothing would surprise me.

And as to getting enough people involved to push back against a study to "Look" at the Stand your Ground law, and movement to "reasonably change" our SYG, don't hold your breath.
