Save the U.S. the cost of an unnecessary position. Cut spending!!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Florida woman who fired warning shots against her allegedly abusive husband has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. Marissa Alexander of Jacksonville had said the state's "Stand Your Ground" law should apply to her because she was defending herself against her allegedly abusive husband when she fired warning shots inside her home in August 2010. She told police it was to escape a brutal beating by her husband, against whom she had already taken out a protective order. CBS Affiliate WETV reports that Circuit Court Judge James Daniel handed down the sentence Friday. Under Florida's mandatory minimum sentencing requirements Alexander could receive a lesser sentence, even though she has never been in trouble with the law before. Judge Daniel said the law did not allow for extenuating or mitigating circumstances to reduce the sentence below the 20-year minimum. "I really was crying in there," Marissa's 11-year-old daughter told WETV. "I didn't want to cry in court, but I just really feel hurt. I don't think this should have been happening." Alexander was convicted of attempted murder after she rejected a plea deal for a three-year prison sentence. She said she did not believe she did anything wrong. She was recently denied a new trial after appealing to the judge to reconsider her case based on Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law. The law states that the victim of a crime does not have to attempt to run for safety and can immediately retaliate in self-defense. Alexander's attorney said she was clearly defending herself and should not have to spend the next two decades behind bars. George Zimmerman gets bailed out TWICE and he KILLED a young man!!!

The lack of opportunity for ex-convicts to be gainfully employed leads to frustration, desperation and loss of ability to regain self esteem, and its negative social effect can be averted by giving them a chance to be re-integrated through gainful employment without discrimination related to background check.

I think that when people are in a trusted position they should be even more accountable than the average person and should have a double penalty instead of being moved or promoted.If they are child molesters they truly should be forever removed from society.

Numerous sources from the Boston Globe, Mother Jones to ABC News have produced detailed documentation, including SEC filings, that appear to indicate that Mitt Romney has lied to the SEC regarding his roll at Bain Capital between 1999 until 2002. I would like the US Department of Justice to investigate if criminal laws have been broken regarding these matters!

Florida Gun Law is not doing what it was designed to do. Wives who can not get away from a treatening situation are becoming victims to this law. Young adults without a criminal history are becoming victims to this law.

More of taxpayer money shoud be spent on destroying gang violence.

Gangs of teenagers are easily armed with lethal automatic weapons and handguns and are terrorizing urban areas . Inner cities and "ghettos" are not the only place this is occurring. More and more you hear about gun violence in all areas of the country. Guns are so easy to acquire and there are really no regulations. It's time we realize that we are not able to be in control of the situation as it is. Some things need to go. Gun shows travel the country selling guns to anyone with cash, no questions asked. This is insanity. Gun shows need to go. We need new tough laws and regulations to regulate the way guns are bought, sold, licensed and manufactured. Please sign this petition if you agree that a ban on automatic weapons and hand guns nationwide is needed. Restricting manufacturers from creating these man-killers is essential. Opponents will say that "guns don't kill people, people kill people!", the fact is People with guns kill people. Without guns people are much less likely to kill each other. We can't lead the world on this one, most countries across the globe already restrict guns and require permits to have them, this is civilized. Sign this if you want to see a change in gun laws nationwide.
