When Confronted With A Lie, You Need To Stand Your Ground

keep-calm-and-stand-your-ground-5

Judith Cherbonneau of Claremont has posted a petition on Change.org asking New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan to take another look at the stand your ground law in New Hampshire.

Calling for “Stand Your Ground” laws to be reviewed is a bipartisan effort. President Obama spoke out on the need for review, and prominent Republicans like Senator John McCain have joined him.

“Stand Your Ground” was never meant to give aggressors the opportunity to get away with murder, but unfortunately that is sometimes the case. And after Trayvon Martin’s death, even former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who signed into law the first Stand Your Ground bill in the country, said: “‘Stand your ground’ means ‘stand your ground.’ It doesn’t mean ‘chase after somebody who’s turned their back.'”

Wait.  Isn’t that the petition to Governor Pat McCrory of North Carolina.  Or was that the wording for the petition to the governor of Arizona?  Was it Louisiana?  Maybe it was Virginia, or Alabama, or Pennsyl…you know what.  It was all of them and then some.  They are all exactly the same.

That means that Judith, bless her misleading, plagiarizing little heart, isn’t actually sponsoring a petition to out governor, Change.org is and she is just parroting what she has been told.  How original.

First, John McCain’s support is not exactly bipartisan.  He’s been more in line with the left than the right of late.

Second, aggressors cannot nor have they ever been permitted to invoke stand your ground.  To suggest otherwise is not just ignorant but deceptive and inimical to the truth.

Finally, “chase after somebody?”

Judith.  Trayvon was shot from the front…mostly because he jumped George Zimmerman while Geroge was walking back to his vehicle.  Trayvon was shot from the front because he was on top of Zimmerman, declaring his intent to do grevious harm, as he smashed his head into the ground.  Trayon chased Zimmerman down and attacked him.  He did exactly what you claim to be wrong–as the motivation for your petition.  The court, the witnesses, even witnesses for the prosecution, make this case.

So are you just some brain-washed, ignorant, progressive herd animal or are you a devious liar intent on deception for political gain?

It would be mean to presume the former so let us assume the latter.  Judith is a propagandist using lies and distortion to manipulate the ill-informed and the ignorant to advance what she wants to beleiv regardless of facts.

This is nothing new.

The left pays to have out of state outrage brought here in an effort to sway our US Senator with victims of other states impotent anti-gun laws.  Then they bring more out of state outrage here, paid for by more out of state money, again from places with strickter gun laws and significantly more crime than we have here in the Granite State.   And now we’ve got Judith plying a Change.org petition from whatever layer of Hell on which that despicable place resides, as if this is a New Hampshire based initiative.

These clone petitions are the result of an email provided by Change.org to its email list, purported to have been written by Trayvon Martin’s parents.  In it, they claim to be victims, ignore the court case, all testimony, all evidence, and even the charges themselves to pen a missive that attacks  Stand your ground.

I have my doubts as to whether Trayvon’s parents wrote it.  If they did I’d like to know if they were paid and how much.  They have already been paid as much as a million dollars in settlement by the insurers of the home owners association where Martin was shot;  no one claimed guilt nor was there to be any determination of guilt by any party involved–it was just deemed cheaper to pay them off.  They got rich because their son attacked a Hispanic registered Democrat who from his back, while having his head pounded into the ground, managed to fire one shot in an effort to save his own life.

Zimmerman’s reward for trying not to die at the hands of a thug is to be hunted by misguided folk who believed the lies repeated by the left, and folks like Judith.    All based on a media mission driven by an ideological crusade with no basis in fact.

The email itself contains little if any truth and the petition feeds off the email.   But they are not interested in the truth.  They are only interested in their agenda.

One final observation.  What exactly do you expect Governor Hassan to do?  Repeal the law without a law to repal it?  Wouldn’t that be promoting executive tyranny?   Violating separation of powers?  Executive Tyranny!  That would make you a devious propagandist hypocrite wouldn’t it?
