Marissa Alexander black-interpretation and George Zimmerman-white interpretation

White person standard?

George Zimmerman was found not guilty in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Self-defense played a central role in Zimmerman’s not guilty plea and his defense’s argument against the second-degree murder charges, and his acquittal is drawing comparisons in the media to the verdict of another high-profile Florida shooting incident: the case of Marissa Alexander.

Marissa Alexander

Marissa Alexander a black Florida woman, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2012 for shooting what she described as warning shots into a wall during a confrontation with her husband. Alexander’s lawyers claimed self-defense in the case, and said her husband had a history of abuse in their relationship. Alexanders defense invoked Florida’s “Stand Your Ground law", which gives Florida residents the right to use lethal force if they feel their life is threatened. The jury sided with prosecutors in deciding Alexander’s actions were not in self-defense.

Alexanders sentencing fell under the guidelines of what’s known in Florida as the “10-20-Life” law, which set certain mandatory minimum sentences for crimes committed with a firearm. The law enacted in 1999 requires that any crime committed with a gun earns the perpetrator a minimum ten year sentence, as the Florida Department of Corrections explains. If the firearm is discharged, the convicted will receive a 20-year minimum sentence, and if shots fired from the gun injure or kill anyone, the minimum sentence is 25-years to life.

Angela Corey, who oversaw the prosecution of George Zimmerman, also tried the case against Marissa Alexander, and defended the sentencing at the time.

Black person standard?

When Marissa Alexander discharges a firearm in the direction of human beings, the Florida legislature says it’s dangerous,” Corey said, according to the Florida Times-Union. “And one of the reasons is because the bullet went through the wall where one of the children was standing. It happened to deflect up into the ceiling, but if it had deflected down it could have hit one of the children.”

You get quick release under the buckles making it easier and faster to open the bag. You cant' beat this classic look! 

Motorcycle Saddle bag

On a motorcycle, modern panniers are normally hard-shell cases mounted behind the seat and on either-side of the rear wheel, attached to a framework (which bolts to the motorcycle frame) known as a carrier. Modern panniers are made to be quickly-detachable.

Historically, the origins were in military use for dispatch riders, where soft, often canvas-type woven material bags were fitted to the motorcycle by rudimentary frames enabling the rider to carry documents securely. After hostilities ended, any left-over items including the motorcycles could be obtained from army-surplus depots, particularly after World War II during the 1950's when there was an increase in motorcycle use as a cheap form of transport

Saddle bags also are available as modern motorcycle accessories (similar to western saddlebags described above) to place across the rear portion of the motorcycle seat, making them quickly detachable. They can then be carried over the arm or shoulder of the rider.

Made of leather or vinyl (leather cloth or imitation leather) with stiffening, they are known as Throw-overs and come in different shapes and sizes to be used as travel luggage or a handy temporary container for items such as shopping.

"This is the guy who tried to kill my dad."

President George W Bush on Iraq War , "I have No Regrets".

President George W. Bush, Discussing the threat posed by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, Bush said,

 "After all, this is the guy who tried to kill my dad." 

10/29/2001, Michael Leeden, American Enterprise Institute,

"Just wage a total war against these tyrants; I think we will do very well and our children will sing great songs about us years from now."

10/7/2002, George W. Bush, President,

"The Iraqi regime . . . possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons. We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas."

09/18/2002,  Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense (before Congress):

"We do know that the Iraqi regime has chemical and biological weapons. His regime has amassed large, clandestine stockpiles of chemical weapons -- including VX, sarin, cyclosarin and mustard gas. ... His regime has amassed large, clandestine stockpiles of biological weapons—including anthrax and botulism toxin, and possibly smallpox." (presentation to Congress)

 11/01/2002, George W. Bush, President,

"... for the sake of protecting our friends and allies, the United States will lead a mighty coalition of freedom-loving nations and disarm Saddam Hussein. See, I can't imagine what was going through the mind of this enemy when they hit us. They probably thought the national religion was materialism, that we were so selfish and so self-absorbed that after 9/11/2001 this mighty nation would take a couple of steps back and file a lawsuit.

 03/16/2003, Dick Cheney, Vice President,

"My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. . . . I think it will go relatively quickly, . . . [in] weeks rather than months."

The reasons for the Iraq war remain a serious question in Americans mind, closure is still a long way decades away from the Iraq real effect on the United States and the world at large. The immediate effect of over 4000 lives lost, the increasing thousands and thousands of injuries to our troops and their long term or life time care. A financial cost that will reach closer to 2.5 Trillion Dollars on the United States Credit Card creating deficits for the foreseeable future.

Of all the statements above on the reason for the war only one has so far proven to be true, the question is, did our Political leaders lie and take this country to war?.  

Baby Politics! Who Scares me?

The contrast how Kids see the 2 candidates running for President may be the difference in the Election, children don't vote their parents do, especially mothers "Baby Politics" could be the decider. We try to reflect how babies respond to our presidential candidates and the most memorable moments over the past eighteen months.  

Like most Americans up to now Mitt Romney is a mystery and this child may be reflecting those sentiments. A little scared of the man who want to be President and make decisions on my education, grandmas social security, repeal the affordable care act taking health insurance coverage from 19 million Americans while not telling us any specific how you are going to do these things that scares me Mr Romney. 

Playing Baby Politics is dangerous in a military family, thousands of American children are born to military families every year especially while the father is deployed, a very difficult situation for the mother in labor and a worst situation for the father who may be on the Battle field the moment of birth. These military families reflect a part of the 47% that Mitt Romney described as not talking responsibility for their themselves because soldiers pay no Taxes while in deploy. 

Military wives and military children and babies should never be thought of as, "47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what, "there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent on government, who believe that, that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing.” 

Military families does not really believe this, the fact is the Romney family has never demonstrated in any way  willingness to defend this country in uniform. No member of the Romney Family has ever served the Militarily. Mitt Romney's father did not serve the military neither did Mitt Romney's or his five sons serve in the military, who then believe they are entitled?. The Romney's have used every opportunity afforded by this country to become successful while ignoring service and defending the very pillar on which their wealth is built. 

The military children who have to grow without  fathers killed in battle and their mothers told by Mitt Romney that they believe that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing.” 

Baby whisperer

 President Obama since in office have had some unique moments with children especially babies, he has been called a baby whisperer on several occasions. If voting for either of these candidates depended on how children respond to them publicly President Obama probably would win hands down. We do not vote on a child's momentary reaction because as parents our young ones have their moments even with us.

My Wife the Teacher

The 'Middle Wife' by an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher

I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself,but
the best birth story I know is the
one I saw in my own second grade classroom a few years back.

When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions
with my students. It helps them get
over shyness and usually,

show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes,
pictures of fish they catch, stuff
like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them.
If they want to lug it in to school
and talk about it, they're welcome.

Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid,
takes her turn and waddles up to the
front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater.

She holds up a snapshot of an infant. 'This is Luke, my baby brother, and
I'm going to tell you about his
birthday.'

'First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put
a seed in my Mom's stomach, and
Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord.'

She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to
laugh and wishing I had my camcorder
with me. The kids are watching her in amazement.

'Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts saying and going, 'Oh, Oh,
Oh, Oh!' Erica puts a hand behind
her back and groans. 'She walked around the house for, like an hour, 'Oh,
oh, oh!' (Now this kid is doing a
hysterical duck walk and groaning.)

' My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have
a sign on the car like the
Domino's man. They got my Mom to lie down in bed like this.' (Then Erica
lies down with her back against the
wall.)

'And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case
he got thirsty, and it just blew up
and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!' (This kid has her legs
spread with her little hands mimicking
water flowing away. It was too much!)
'Then the middle wife starts saying 'push, push,' and 'breathe, breathe.

They started counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden,
out comes my brother. He was
covered in yucky stuff that they all said it was from Mom's play-center,
(placenta) so there must be a lot
of toys inside there. When he got out, the middle wife spanked him for
crawling up in there.'

Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat.

I'm sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, when it's show-and-tell
day, I bring my camcorder, just in
case another ' Middle Wife' comes along.

Now you have two choices....laugh and close this page or pass this along
to someone else to spread the
laughs. I know what I did!!!

Live every day as if it is your LAST chance to make someone happy!!!!
