to put that in perspective and weigh it when they go into their deliberations. i agree with you that it was a bit peculiar with the testimony of mr. root and the scope of his testimony and so forth. but i think that this jury will be able to see through that and see and tell that, listen, the deceased victim cannot testify himself and say who was the stronger individual. lisa bloom, you have been talking extensively about the gun position and so forth. and i couldn t wait to ask you about this, assistant state prosecutor john guy used a mannequin to re-enact the encounter between george zimmerman and trayvon martin. let s watch this. if this person, this mannequin, were carrying a firearm on their waist, where would the gun be right now in relation to me? it would be at your left inner thigh. right here, right? yes. if he was right-handed, it would

the back of the line behind the folks trying to come here legally. that s the president talking about immigration. incredibly different tone, very different emotional register. almost kind of bureaucratic in its approach. and here s what i think is so interesting because i think they must know this polling inside the white house. you say to people to republicans, all right, do you favor creating a way for illegal immigrants to come here if they meet certain requirements. that s looking pretty good. then you say president obama has proposed creating a way for illegal immigrants already here to become citizens that meet certain requirements. almost inverts. right? as soon as the president is associated with this particular policy, it goes away. and i i m curious what your understanding is of that dynamic? particularly as a republican, difference between the gun position of republicans and where his attachment needs to be polarize.
but the fact it was against the law did not prevent it from happening. doesn t this muddy the situation here? this feeling exacerbates or escalates the problem? because it s assumed that vice president dan gore lost the election based on a gun position is a kind of fear. the courage must come bottom up and not top down. that s why police chiefs around the country are now rallying. a police chief in philadelphia and detroit, police chiefs are now crying out because their men and women are less able to defend the public and themselves. if these semiautomatic weapons can get past the zone of the secret service and the police, they have no place in the civil society. what you re looking at is a pattern. and if al qaeda or taliban can come to america without an airplane, can buy 6,000 rounds
