**A judge threw out Alexander's "stand your ground" self-defense claim, noting that she could have run out of the house to escape her husband but instead got the gun and went back inside.**

The above^. I'm not sure how much difference it woulda made but she may have came out better if she had the gun on her person at the time she first feared her life was in danger. Going out to the car to get her gun and then returning back into the home is probably what cost her.

Yeah you are right I am just venting...but it does detail a sort of double standard. She may be far from innocent, but mandatory sentencing laws have put her into the prison industry for far too long....she should have been given a more lenient sentence.

I know what you mean. Heck, I've been rattled all day. Can you believe that people drove over 50 miles to a rinky dink town from Nashville to protest against a group of teens frog gigging here last night? Lordy mercy! Of all things going on in this country they wasted airtime on something of much less importance.

Those protesters upset about hunting frogs? I wonder if they stopped at McDonald's on the way.....

It may strike some as sounding silly as to how the event organized, but the frogs weren't wasted.

Frog gigging is a good safe activity for teenagers. See, if they drink too much beer, the canoe will tip over and the start battery from the car they were using for the floodlight will go to the bottom.
This prevents them from drunk driving, and they are forced to sleep it off in the car and walk out when it gets light the next day.
Not that I have any knowledge on the subject, but it sounds like it could work that way.

P.S. frogs did not go to waste. Made a fire and cooked the legs on a green stick.

Uhhhh, Yeah. Just as Zimmermans refusal to just let Martin go about his business unharrassed is what cost Martin his life.

Thats the point, Dave. Why protest and make news over meaningless shit when there are much more important things in our country that we should be focused on. It tells me people care more about protecting frogs than they do their financial future.
