Limerick Ode To Zimmerman’s Florida
Limerick Ode To Zimmerman’s Florida
By Madeleine Begun Kane
If you’d rather shoot people than skeet,
And enjoy killing folks on the street,
But you don’t want to pay
Any price, come what may,
Then Florida’s (f)laws can’t be beat.
*****
Florida-style “Stand Your Ground” laws encourage the aggressive use of firearms based on vague (often bias-inspired) suspicions. And jury verdicts, like George Zimmerman’s acquittal in the Trayvon Martin murder case, only serve to further encourage and rubber stamp murderous behavior.

Concisely nailed it again, Mad!
Unless of course, you’re a black woman in Florida!
You are brilliant! I don’t know how you do it, but I’m glad you do!
Thanks so much, everyone!
So much for the argument that “good guys” packing guns
Is the way that we’ll protect our daughters and our sons.
Tell that to Sybrina Fulton; go tell Trayvon’s dad.
Jury didn’t seem to think George Zimmerman was bad…
Just a guy who tried to help protect his neighborhood.
Volunteered his time; believed that he was doing good.
Just a guy out in his car – patrolling – packing heat.
That’s the guy who gunned an unarmed child down in the street…
Great one….right on!
