[ woman ] hop on over! [ marge ] fiber the fun way, from phillips . a new twist in the ongoing story of george zimmerman after his acquittal for the shooting of trayvon martin in november,
country, is still unable to properly discuss race, in a society increasingly forgettable about structural racism and the way it pervades our nation. we noticed the flashpoints of horror, the shooting of trayvon martin and jordan davis and remeisha mcbride. we produced outrage about the stories is like this one where a 13-year-old girl was placed in protective custody when police didn t believe the two black men when he was traveling with were her legal guardians. no, there isn t any more to that story, they were just standing, waiting for a bus when they were arrested. charges were finally dropped this week, but, listen, far too often, in our public discourse about racism, we get stuck on the individual manifestations of explicit racial bias. and while hurling the n-word may be easy to identify as racist, it might also be the least impactful act of all racism, with which we should be concerned. instead of working ourselves
from corporations, but also from foundations, mostly conservative foundations, to craft legislation, sort of model bills, if you will, that will are sort of there for conservative state lawmakers across the country to take and file as legislation. sometimes you see these a.l.e.c. bills turn up with very little change introduced as bills in state legislatures that cover the state legislature in pennsylvania and washington state. and in many cases, they are the they are models that are tweaked slightly in legislation that becomes law. stand your ground is one example that is controversial but very effective over the years with a relatively small budget. their budget was around $10 million in 2011. in advancing legislation that serves interests of these corporate sponsors. these corporate sponsors don t want any part of controversy like that, which erupted around the stand your ground laws and touched on a.l.e.c. in 2012 with the shooting of trayvon martin.
this case. we have to listen to shellie zimmerman who also said in that interview police said she would go to jail if she pressed domestic violence charges against george zimmerman. i hope that s not true. i think people can responsibly own guns in this country. but george zimmerman is clearly not one of them. clint, what do you think about this that mrs. zimmerman was told she could go to jail? i hope someone like lisa would be there to stand up and defend them. this is a guy that was taking prescription drugs at the time of the shooting. his girlfriend said he was depressed, that he fought with his wife the night of the shooting. you know, you take that shooting of trayvon martin. anger, depression, rage, and guns. that spelled murder that night. you re talking about the
night of trayvon martin shooting when he killed trayvon martin. exactly. the night of trayvon martin shooting, supposedly he had four different prescription drugs, antianxiety included, that he had fought with his wife that night, that she had left and al you ve got this volcano of emotions that was moving through this guy. and what does he do? he picks up his gun and goes out to take control of his life again, to be somebody in that neighborhood. and then this terrible confrontation occurs. what does the police dispatcher tell him? don t follow that man. and he does it anyway. and then we have a death that arises from it. wrong place, wrong time, wrong emotions, al. lisa bloom, clint van zandt, i m going to have to leave it there, but thanks for your time tonight. we ll be right back. ya know, with new fedex one rate
