Stand Your Ground!

Bravo, my Champions! Your fearless bard, the Center of the Universe, bids you welcome!
Today I must call your attention to a grave concern that many of you out there in the Great United States may not understand. Did you know that in 29 states, you can be prosecuted if you DO NOT run from your attacker, give up your car to a jacker, give in to your rapist, hand over your wallet or purse, or in any way shape or form fight back with the criminal? Did you know that? You can be brought up on charges under the "duty-to-retreat" laws of these states. You can be sued by the guy who attacked you if you injured him protecting yourself in these states! These laws don't apply within your homes, thankfully, but you get the picture. You simply cannot protect yourself, your children, or your property, from the heathen scum running free among us.
Three states of the Union, Florida, South Dakota, and today, Indiana, now have laws allowing its citizens to use whatever means necessary to defend themselves, including deadly force. 15 other states are considering such laws. I for one consider this common sense! Self defense is a very basic right. If confronted, I can guarantee I'm going to fight, not flee. If someone tries to take or harm one of my children, well, God will be seeing them soon I can tell you that because I will not let them live!
There are so many pacifists in this country today. So many people who say we as a nation need to get out of Iraq. Too many have died. I have done a little research. Since 9/11, just under 3,000 American soldiers have died in the War on Terrorism. Since 9/11, just over 4,000 Americans have been murdered, raped, and molested by men who have been released from prison AFTER being "rehabilitated". Many of these victims have been innocent children. Many have yet to be recaptured and are still out in our midst, looking to strike again.
There are many politicians out there who don't believe that you have a right to protect yourself or your family, even within your own homes. They don't even want the police to actively search out the bad guys for fear of confrontations that might result in gunfights. The liberal mindset is that "every criminal can be rehabilitated into an important member of society". I say: No they can't! If they kill; execute them! If they rape; execute them! If they molest children; execute them! Because they will always do it again if given the chance! They always do! And any one who thinks differently, then let's make these felons live with them, in their homes, with their wives and children, for a year after their release. We've got plenty of defense lawyers and liberal politicos and Hollywood do-gooders out there
who would love to step up and prove they are right and everybody else is wrong.
Until then, I will protect myself and my family to the death if need be. Eventually, the bad-guys will start fearing everyone, never knowing just who might have a gun. Once they realize they are out-numbered by the good, law-abiding citizens of the Great United States, maybe they'll just fade into the woodwork like the cockroaches they are. We, the People, are getting a bit tired of these "gangstas" and are going to take the fight to them if they don't chill out.
You need to get out and take measures to protect yourself and your family. Do whatever you feel comfortable with to safeguard your home. Lock up your home at night, and your cars at all times. Go out with friends and family. Use common sense at all times. Don't make yourself a target or a victim. Fight back! Make them wish they had never got up that morning!
