Black caller on Big Eddie radio just went ballistic

[JDPriestly]

88. The fact is that laws like Stand Your Ground

or whatever it is called are worse in neighborhoods like that woman's, worse in communities with gangs than they are anywhere else. They exonerate the powerful and cruel and make victims of their weaker, kinder neighbors.

Zimmerman should be tried as should murderers in her neighborhood.

That is true at all levels of society. A president who attacks a country that has not attacked us should also face a jury. It's just wrong for the mighty, the well armed to shoot or drop bombs on those who are weaker and not armed at all.

It does not take more than common sense to see that. She is absolutely right. There is a lot of bullying going on, and a lot of it is perpetrated by poor people against poor people. The excessive noise in some communities is an expression of the same attitude of disrespect for the rights of others that causes a bully to kill his or her victim. The caller has a point in my view. She is mistaken if she is siding with Zimmerman. He was the one with the gun.

I hope that Ed Schultz explained to her that she is like Trayvon's parents -- a victim of the lack of respect for the rights of others that is so prevalent in our country.
