Repeal the ''Stand Your Ground'' Laws

Eugene Robinson, Washington Post Writers Group: ''The 'Stand Your Ground' laws in Florida and other states should all be repealed. At best, they are redundant. At worst, as in the Trayvon Martin killing, they are nothing but a license to kill. Police in Sanford, Fla., cited the statute as grounds for their decision not to file charges against Martin s killer, George Zimmerman. Martin, 17, was strolling home from a convenience store, armed with an iced tea and a bag of Skittles, when Zimmerman, a Neighborhood Watch volunteer and wannabe police officer, spotted him and decided he looked suspicious.''

The Zimmerman Verdict; America Is Still America to Me

Dr. Wilmer J. Leon III, Truthout: Trayvon Martin s death reopens very deep wound of racial violence within America s history. In that same regard, George Zimmerman's acquittal reminds us of the ways we value, and subsequently devalue the lives of citizens along racial lines.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/17564-the-zimmerman-verdict-america-is-still-america-to-me



Zimmerman Verdict: The Slave Patrol Is Alive and Well in Florida

The Daily Take, The Thom Hartmann Program: George Zimmerman s work with his neighborhood watch program is simply outdated; had he been around during the antebellum south where Slave Patrols were commonplace, his racist profiling of Trayvon Martin would have been openly praised.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/17573-zimmerman-verdict-the-slave-patrol-is-alive-and-well-in-florida



Denied the Right to Be Young

Eugene Robinson, Washington Post Writers Group: In a society where young men of color are viewed as simultaneously criminal and expendable, the conversation we need to be having after the Zimmerman acquittal is how men like Trayvon Martin are denied their rights to live and flourish in America before they are even born.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/17571-denied-the-right-to-be-young



Key Mistakes Sway Jury in Zimmerman Trial

Marjorie Cohn, Truthout: A Southern jury, none of them black, was prohibited from considering race, instructed only on the parts of self-defense law that helped Zimmerman, and heard the chief police investigator improperly testify that he believed Zimmerman, whose shooting of an unarmed 17-year-old the jury found justifiable.

Kevin Zeese, Countercurrents: ''Many in the corporate media like to think the Occupy is over, but those of us involved know better. We do not rely on the corporate media to validate the work of Occupy, we see it in our communities. And, we know to look to our own media for accurate information. The Occupied Wall Street Journal reports on the actions of the Occupy, it s weekly 'Reports from the Front Lines' is something many of us look forward to so we can see the movement taking action across the country.''

Freedom s Phoenix
by Stephen Lendman

03/23/12

In mid-April, Istanbul or Geneva will host nuclear talks with Iran. America, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany will attend. Russian Foreign Secretary Sergei Lavrov calls them a 'last chance' to avoid war. ... Al Quds al Arabi editor Abdel Bari Atwan told Russia Today he expects a package war against Iran, Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Perhaps also against Hamas. At issue is when. Washington wants it after November s elections. Israel wants it sooner...

The no-fault march to war

Antiwar.com
by Philip Giraldi

03/22/12

People who passionately want the United States to go to war should have to accept that there will be consequences for themselves personally. This is why the U.S. Constitution mandated that only Congress could vote to go to war, denying the authority to do so to the office of the president. That was because Congress was considered to be the house of the people, while the country s chief executive was more analogous to a monarch. Only the people could make the decision to go to war .... Today s American elite apparently sees things very differently...

The Finger of Fate Upon You

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: ''At this moment, tens of thousands of Americans in Iraq, Afghanistan and all over the world are under arms and in peril, engaged in conflicts that serve only to prolong this terrible, endless age of war. At this moment, millions of innocent people are cowering somewhere because of it. Make no mistake: someone is, at this moment, bathing in riches at the expense of those soldiers, their families and the untold scores of civilians whose only crime was getting in the way of the first, best and biggest payday of this new century.''

Changing Our Military Mindset

Video

Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: ''This week, on an all-new Moyers & Company, Bill Moyers and Bacevich explore the futility of 'endless' wars, and provide a reality check on the rhetoric of American exceptionalism. 'Are we so unimaginative, so wedded to the reliance on military means that we cannot conceive of any way to reconcile our differences with groups and nations in the Islamic world, and therefore bring this conflict to an end?' Bacevich tells Moyers.''

Peter Dreier, Truthout: ''Fifty years ago (in March 1962) Michael Harrington wrote a book, 'The Other America: Poverty in the United States', a haunting tour of deprivation in an affluent society, that inspired Presidents Kennedy and Johnson to wage a war on poverty. This slim, 186-page volume became a best-seller and became required reading for social scientists, elected officials, college students, members of study groups sponsored by churches and synagogues, reporters and intellectuals, the new wave of community organizers and the student activists who traveled to the South to join the civil rights crusade.''
