eric holder vs. Toilet Paper Holder
Most recently, Holder disparaged 92 years of U.S. Supreme Court precedent regarding so-called “stand your ground” laws.
Holder has been Obama’s attorney general for well over four years, and he has never made a public statement about "stand your ground" laws. Suddenly, last week, as Zimmerman trial verdict protesters called for the abolishment of Florida’s stand-your-ground law, he decided to end his silence. Holder probably figured: “The media’s got my back here. If I fudge about 'stand your ground' laws, they won’t hold me accountable.”
So, on Tuesday of last week, Holder gave a speech at the annual conference for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and stated that "stand your ground" laws:
“…senselessly expand the concept of self-defense and sow dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods” and “By allowing, and perhaps encouraging, violent situations to escalate in public, such laws undermine public safety.”
On Wednesday, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton chimed in with his two cents worth of nonsense:
“…these kinds of laws … have catastrophic effects.” He added: “My personal opinion -- I don’t have all the information the jury had -- Mr. Zimmerman went way beyond what was necessary in the situation.”
