The Castle Doctrine & Stand Your Ground ..The Trial of Dr. Ossian Sweet

[GandD 5,966]

Just so we're all clear:

In October 1967, Obama and his mother moved to Jakarta to rejoin his stepfather. The family initially lived in a newly built neighborhood in the Menteng Dalam administrative village of the Tebet subdistrict inSouth Jakarta for two and a half years, while Soetoro worked on a topographic survey for the Indonesian government.^[21][22] From January 1968 to December 1969, Obama's mother taught English and was an assistant director of the U.S. government-subsidized Indonesia-America Friendship Institute,^[23] while Obama attended the Indonesian-language Santo Fransiskus Asisi (St. Francis of Assisi) Catholic School around the corner from their house for 1st, 2nd, and part of 3rd grade.^[21]

In 1970, Soetoro took a new job at higher pay in Union Oil Company's government relations office.^{[4][21][24][25][26][27]} From January 1970 to August 1972, Obama's mother taught English and was a department head and a director of the Institute of Management Education and Development.^[23] Obama attended the Indonesian-language government-run Besuki School, one and half miles east in the exclusive Menteng administrative village, for part of 3rd grade and for 4th grade. By this time, he had picked up on some Indonesian in addition to his native English.^[21] He also joined the Cub Scouts.^[28]

In the summer of 1970, Obama returned to Hawaii for an extended visit with his maternal grandparents, Stanley and Madelyn Dunham. His mother had also arranged an interview for possible admission to thePunahou School in Honolulu, one of the top private schools in the city.^[29] On August 15, 1970, Dunham and Soetoro celebrated the birth of their daughter, Maya Kassandra Soetoro.^[30]

Back to Hawaii in 1971.

Crime is down overall. Yes, homicides spiked in Florida once SYG was enacted in 2005. So it would make sense to rid the state of this junk and get those number back down where they were before that ####### became law. But even with that spike, crime is down. The paranoia that danger lurks around every corner is just that - paranoia. We live safer lives today than we lived in the 70's and 80's and 90's. That's a simple fact. Which doesn't keep the paranoid from being paranoid, apparently.

"Homicides" might have spiked but violent crime is way, way down and has dropped every year since 2005.

You not know BHO grew up in Jakarta? Uh oh's.

I would hardly say that say that a few years is considered "growing up" there.

I read what you've written, but not concede the point.

Three years somewhere is growing up there, then?

This is funny.

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Not according to the law, even before SYG.

What you folks keep dismissing is it's not illegal to follow someone. President Obama said he'd been followed around before but he didn't say he violently attackex the person following him. Wonder why?

He also said he would never raise taxes, cut the national debt, Close Gitmo

I could go on and on

The man can't be trusted

Do you actually believe what you write about? Incredible.....

You must have missed the news story about the white baby who was shot in the face for no reason by a couple of black gangsters. It probably was not important to you since they were just minorities exercising their "civil rights" to randomly assault a white stranger who had done nothing to them.

Riddle me this: Does this mother or any mother and father have the right to defend her baby from an attack by violent black teens or not?

Don't waste your time. His response will be something about you supporting Hitler.

Doesn't everyone here?

White people arming themselves against "black gangsters".

Looks like folks exercising their Constitutional right to keep and bear arms, or do you only believe that was written for wimpy white people? (Actually, it was written to allow slave owners to protect themselves in case of slave rebellions, but let's overlook that historical nuance).
