The difference being, the NRA has had "hoodies" for sale on their website for years, and years - so they are clearly unrelated to the shooting. The Obama campaign just tried to capitalize on it *since* the shooting.
Outraged that so many people, on both "sides", feel the need to jump in and reach a conclusion on an incident that they don't know anything about. I'm outraged that those people made up their minds based on the appearance of the people involved and the first 3 minute evening news story about it that they heard - and then ignore evidence presented that contradicts that view and overblows or outright manufactures evidence to support that view.
I'm outraged that some people who support the 2nd amendment, feel it necessary to knee-jerk and automatically support anyone that uses a gun before they know the facts of the case.
I'm outraged that race-baiting shysters like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton literally trip over each other for the opportunity to dance in front of the camera.
I'm outraged that Zimmerman didn't stay in his fucking car like the police dispatcher told him to.
I'm outraged that the news stations insist on showing a picture of Trayvon from when he was 12 years old, next to an orange jumpsuit picture of Zimmerman.
I'm outraged that a fuck-tard like Spike Lee can tweet the address belonging to a retired couple - claiming it to be the location of Zimmerman - and the outcry is virtually nil.
And last but not least I'm outraged when public opinion threatens to upend the justice system. Because, believe me Cal, the last thing minorities want is for this country to go back to the days when a lynch mob trumped law and order.
Paladin, it's cool to hear your thoughts. Thanks for sharing your passion, and demanding people to think. Passions and thinking don't usually hold hands.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

do they come with a free bag of skittles?
And an ice tea.
Are they bullet proof or something?
They are meant to hide your gun better so that you can sneak up and any black kids in your neighborhood.
Umm...

Please don't go all 'equivalent' on me here. Not this time. Allow me a moment of outrage, outrage that you yourself should feel.
I'm outraged all right.

Is that sufficient?
Yeh, it is. I feel your outrage.
