Reasonable would have been denouncing anyone who acted like a hooligan, regardless of color, and not basically making excuses for anyone. I guess it's ok to apologize for the US but not for the black community.

The actual court case was based on self defense and not stand your ground. That is fact, regardless of what really happened. But that wouldn't fit in Obama's anti-gun agenda as well, so he chose to ignore that fact.

Even David Brooks thought it was Obama at his absolute best and he said it made him reevaluate his stance on Stand Your Ground laws when the idea of Trevon shooting first because he was scared of being followed didn't sit right with him.

"Even" a Canadian who went to the University of Chicago, worked at NPR, and now writes for the NY Times.

To be fair David Brooks might be the least "2013 Republican" conservative on the planet and is less concerned about politicizing things than he is about policy.

He's not that conservative at all. It has nothing to do with politics vs. policy.

Martin wasn't acting like a hooligan. Be careful, your bias is showing.

He's pretty conservative.

He's just not one of the "conservatives".

See? If he gave a pint, you'd bitch that he shoulda given two. Or that he's only doing it to secure a democrat vote when the kid turns 18.
