104. "...thanks to the corrupt SPD"

There, fixed it for you. And you know all those times I've said people like yourself only serve to distract from the real issues? This is a perfect example of that.

You (and many other du'ers, sadly) were so desperate to lash out st the SYG law and CCW permit holders that you've backed yourself into a corner. Either it's the law you hate that is to blame for Zimmermans freedom, our the corrupt SPD. You can't really have it both ways because admitting the SPD is at fault is an admission that the SYG law does NOT cover this shooting. Oh, you can try and ignore that and go after both, but it won't save you from looking like your talking out of both sides of your mouth.
