glax go. i joined that tallahassee mayor gillum and reverend holmes and others in rallies trying to say that people had paid their debt to society and had been convicted of a nonviolent crime and had paid that debt off deserved the right to their dignity and citizenship restored. well, tuesday that becomes law in the state of florida. now, the work is to identify those people, register them and get them back out to the polls. we need a nation that you not only are subject to the law if you do wrong, if you correct it and do what is right and want to restore yourself, your right to vote ought to be restored with it. if you are subject to the law, then you also should have a voice in the lawmakers who decide those laws. florida, have those 1.4 million people exercise their dignity
attorneys all over the state of florida that have hardened criminals before them, who they are attempting to prosecute and hold accountable for actions, being able to get away with committing heinous crimes under the cover after stand your ground. it doesn t make any of us safe. in fact, it provided a safe haven for those who intend our community harm. thank you, mayor. give my regards to reverend holmes. i ll see you in clearwater later today. up next, a face of the possible blue wave. a grieving mother now running for office. we ll be right back.
session. so today reverend holmes, along with attorney benjamin crump, we stood together in front of the governor s office calling on the governor for him to provide leadership. if this bill cannot be repaired, if this law cannot be repealed, we need to repair it. you know, we cannot wait to go to the ballot box to change the law, because we got too many folks that are being placed in casket boxes here in florida. so it s up to the governor to provide leadership. you know, a few years ago when the casey anthony trial was on display in front of the world, less than a year later we had caylee s law. and the legislature and the governor asked. so we re asking for the governor to do the same thing now. he can use his bully pulpit to make sure. and that s a major development, because reverend holmes was on the committee that they had looking for this. i know him very well, have worked with him, and work with him. and for him who had been part of
there is more problems than you can count, and i would say it goes beyond because you also have the county state s attorney that played no roll in this. if they were so befuddled and paralyzed by a straightforward case, where is the attorney to come in and say this is the law. this is a giant mispreexception of the law with a case like this, nobody can argue a credible view for justification. this is somebody being pursued and shot. what clarity do you need in a case like this. reverend holmes let me go to you, the op-ed today by dennis baxley that sponsored the law, he says it doesn t apply to the case. let me give you a quote so you can respond to it. baxley said mr. zimmerman s
happen. one person said a trick or treater could get shot. when you saw the law, the community watch, and this law, you set a dangerous you create a dangerous environment. reverend holmes, the orlando sentinel routine like make arrests on stand your ground cases. one that pastors citizens of florida that for some reason, they acted out of the norm in this case? yeah, the law is very disturbing, reverend, and i think that through your leadership and my members and mr. crump and others, i think the whole country, the whole world, understands this is a classic case of racial profiling at it s worst. yeah, and you great members by the way.
