by Dr. Salima al-Kurgman Muslims protesters: "Is it because we didn't support Ned Lamont? Is it because our lousy plastic recycling program?" | Ever since the confrontation between the West and Islam began, the question "Why do they hate us?" has been topping the Frequently Asked Questions charts among Western leaders and intellectuals, tormenting minds and souls of the Western populace prone to introspection. Considering the magnitude of the problem, we have assumed that the same question similarly torments the minds of prominent Muslims in the lands of Islam. And indeed, our special Bridge-Building survey has determined that from Saudi Arabia to Iran to Afghanistan, in the halls of the prestigious Islamic universities and government palaces, prominent Muslims are asking the same questions: "Why us? Why the terror alert system? Why security checks at airports?" |
Bridge-Building Series: "Why do they hate us?" Prominent Muslims reflect on possible reasons why they may be resented in the West | |
Dr. Mahathir Mohammed, ex-Prime Minister, Malaysia: I think they hate us because we did not support Ned Lamont for the U.S. Senate. Not once did Mr. Lamont's name come up in our parliamentary discussions, for which I'm sorry. | Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of The Islamic Republic of Iran: I guess they dislike us back there because we have not granted full human rights to animals. I'll 'fess up: I'm not a vegan. Go on, hate me for it! |
Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, Prime Minister, and King of Saudi Arabia: They must hate us because we have permitted six outlets of Starbucks Coffee to operate in The Kingdom - even though Starbucks is notorious for discouraging unionization. It also drives local mom-and-pop cafes out of business. What's worse, our oil exports are ruining Earth's delicate ecosystem. Even I get sick when I see people owning cars - why can't we just become a more pedestrian-oriented planet? Truly, I almost hate myself sometimes. | Muqtada al-Sadr, Commander, Mahdi Army: Two things: Unions and health care. Technically, we're not a union shop yet, so people think that our soldiers aren't getting full health benefits. They say, "Muqie, how many pap smears did your people get during the last quarter?" Now see, we don't have many women working here, so I have my guys get pap smears instead. Had one myself the other day. We'll roll out a better plan when we sign up with the AFL-CIO after slaughtering the infidel invaders. So, give us a chance! Don't hate us yet! |
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of The Islamic Republic of Iran: Could it be because I'm the only transgendered person in our government? Trust me, we're trying, we really are. We are working on a proactive outreach program to the transgendered community, encouraging them to run for office. Please don't hate us! The thought of being hated makes me weep. | Osama bin Laden, Founder, al-Qaeda: Sometimes, I think the hatred arises from our "glass ceiling" that unfairly keeps women out of our executive suites. But I think that we really deserve to be hated because our lack of an annual gay-pride parade is interpreted as thinly-veiled homophobia. But that's such a misunderstanding! Isn't it obvious that we clearly don't need women to have a good time? |
Ismail Haniya, Prime Minister of The Palestinian National Authority: The number one cause of hatred towards Islam stems from our perceived gender bias against female suicide bombers. Yes, many women have detonated themselves to murder Zionists, but their numbers are far too low. Equality of opportunity is not enough; we must address the disparate outcomes. Until there are more female suicide-murderers, we will remain guilty of de facto gendercide. | Mohammed Omar, Boss, The Taliban: It's the minimum wage, definitely. I hate to say it, but between the beheadings, the detonation of ancient statues, the plethora of laws that prohibited just about everything, and our slaughtering of thousands of Americans, we pretty much let the minimum wage issue fall through the cracks. If I get a chance, I'll bring that up with my staff. They'll agree; we don't want anyone to hate us. |
Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General, Hezbollah: It's got to be our lousy recycling program. I'll admit it, we haven't been paying much attention to it lately because we've been focusing our resources on killing every Jew on the planet. Still, that's no excuse for not sorting our plastics by color. We know that these materials aren't biodegradable, and can see why that could cause resentment. If it matters, we only use recycled steel for the ball bearings in our rockets, but yes, plastics are much more of an environmental hazard. Yet we hope you will find a place in your hearts to love us! |

Hmm, very small upload tonight. I wonder if that means all the new June stuff will come out next week since the new month starts then. I didn't order anything since I already bought the fossil Beachy Floral CRB at the store the other week. I really like it.
Did you get anything tonight?

A Few Photos of the Latest
It's some sort of a holiday in Canada (Victoria Day - Victoria Day (in French: Fête de la Reine) is a federal Canadian public holiday celebrated on the last Monday before May 25, in honour of Queen Victoria's birthday. The date is also, simultaneously, that on which the current reigning Canadian sovereign's official birthday is recognized. It is sometimes informally considered as marking the beginning of the summer season in Canada.) so there aren't many photos of new products. These photos all came from US stores. I'm not even sure there will be an upload tonight but I'll post if there is one.
Photos of the new Inner Heart bra.
Fossil/Blush Quartz Reverse Groove Shorts.
White/Fossil Wee Stripe with Beachy Floral Accent Power Y. I like the use of a print trim. I wish lulu did it more often.
More Zippy Run tank photos.
Sea Wheeze Speed Shorts
These are the Speed Shorts you get with your Sea Wheeze race registration. What do you guys think? I don't particularly love them.
Photos - Zippy Run Tank
The side-boob showcase that is the Zippy Run tank has shown up in stores in Australia. I'm not sure if it will be coming to our stores, too. I could tell from looking at the web model photos that this tank had major issues and the poor reviews on the website confirm this.
PS - Rumors are that June colors and prints are going to be really good.

Could Prince Charming be an ornery cowboy?
Not that history teacher Melody Chandler is looking for her prince. Her troubled brother takes all her spare energy. But the town matchmakers must have Seth Turner in mind for her. Because the handsome rancher keeps charging over to the historic house she's renting on his land, demanding she leave his family history alone. Well, it's his family who gave her permission to study the Turner past--and it sure is juicy! What is Seth so afraid she'll find? If the Mule Hollow matchmakers have their way, it's the key to his heart!

World's Smallest Woman Joins Patti LaBelle For American Horror Story: Freak Show
By Nick Venable 8 months ago comments
When a guy like Ryan Murphy says hes going to make a fruit salad, you can bet that salad is going to have every fruit youve ever heard of, plus a few rarities from an island you cant even understand is real. And so for American Horror Story: Freak Show, its no surprise that hes pulling out all the stops for what freaks will be giving carnival goers (and FX audiences) their moneys worth. The latest cast member to join the fray is Jyoti Amge, the Guinness World Record holder for being the worlds smallest living woman. No CGI needed here. Amge joins the recently cast singer Patti LaBelle for this fourth season of American Horror Story. In announcing the news on his Twitter page, Murphy didnt happen to drop any info on what kind of character the 20-year-old record holder would be playing. Im going to craftily go out on a limb and say Worlds Smallest Woman though. On the flip side, LaBelle co-stars as Gabourey Sadibes mother, a townie who plays a big part in unveiling the secrets surrounding Twisty (John Carroll Lynch), the killer clown haunting Jupiter, Florida. American Horror Story: Freak Show stars Jessica Lange as Elsa Mars, the German-born head of one of the last remaining carnival sideshows of its kind in America. Her employees include strongman Michael Chiklis, who is married to Angela Bassetts character; his ex-wife is to be played by Kathy Bates, whose son is Evan Peters. Sarah Paulson is set to play a pair of conjoined twins named Bette and Dot, and Frances Conroy, Wes Bentley and Finn Wittrock will also star in differing capacities. The Nagpur, India native Amge, seen above during her Guinness photo shoot, is 20 years old and is just over two feet tall. She suffers from a cartilage growth anomaly called achondroplasia. American Horror Story wont be Amges first time in front of a camera, as she was the focus of the documentary series Body Shock for the episode Two Foot High Teen. She also appeared as a guest participant on the reality series Bigg Boss 6, which is the Indian version of Big Brother. LaBelle, who will appear in four Freak Show episodes, will be taking on her first TV series role since 2004 when she appeared on the series All of Us. (Shes obviously appeared on many different shows as herself, but Im talking about fictional characters here.) She was last seen in feature form for Charles Randolph-Wrights musical drama Mama, I Want to Sing!. American Horror Story: Freak Show is set to debut on FX in October. Back to top

The Year of the Louse
"One Christmas Eve, as our family was dressing to go to midnight mass, one sister was heard to shout, 'Mom, Meg has bugs in her hair!' My mom went upstairs to check out this report, and found that Meg did, indeed, have bugs in her hair. I had never heard of such a thing, but my school teacher mother knew all about head bugs—it was lice. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day delousing. We washed linens, vacuumed rugs and mattresses, and shampooed and nit-combed hair for six girls (all with long, thick, curly hair). We laugh about it now and refer to that year's holiday as the Christmas of the Louse, but it sure wasn't the best. Here's hoping you have a bug-free Christmas at your house."

Price Efficiency and Short SellingPedro A. C. SaffiUniversity of Cambridge Kari SigurdssonAQR Capital Management August 30, 2010 AFA 2008 New Orleans Meetings Paper IESE Business School Working Paper No. 748 Review of Finance Studies, Vol. 24, No. 3, pp. 821-852, 2011 Abstract: This article studies how stock price efficiency and the distribution of returns are affected by short-sale constraints. The study is based on a global data set that includes more than 12,600 stocks from 26 countries between 2005 and 2008. Our main findings are as follows. First, lending supply has a significant impact on efficiency. Stocks with higher short-sale constraints, measured by low lending supply, have lower price efficiency. Second, relaxing short-sales constraints is not associated with an increase in either price instability or occurrence of extreme negative returns. Number of Pages in PDF File: 41 Keywords: Short sales constraints, market efficiency, equity lending markets, extreme returns JEL Classification: G12, G14, G15 Date posted: December 4, 2006 ; Last revised: March 7, 2011Suggested CitationContact Information

If you want to tell us you bought something, make a journal, which is free and provided on this site. If you want to make a thread discussing the KH manga, then please point out that you want to know how other people feel about whatever aspects about the manga you're interested in.

Rapha's Pro Team bib shorts are very, very good shorts that put in a strong performance across the board... although the price tag might be enough to make you yelp.
Where shall I start? How about the seat pad, on the basis that if the pad is no good, you might as well not bother with the rest. Thankfully, Rapha use a top-end endurance pad from Cytech, chamois builders to the stars.
The Multi-D Anatomic pad covers quite a large area but much of it is shallow so it doesn't feel particularly bulky. That said, there's excellent cushioning where you need it, with various densities of foam used and various thicknesses from 3mm to 10mm, and plenty of channelling including a central channel to reduce pressure on the perineal region.
Those channels help with airflow too and the antibacterial surface layer works hard to shift moisture so the climate stays comfortable on long, hot days in the saddle. All in all, I got on really well with the pad whatever the length the ride; it's a definite winner.
The lowers are made from a supportive nylon/polyurethane fabric and the multi-panel construction makes for a consistent fit throughout. There's an extra reinforcing panel through the seat area - the bit that's most likely to wear - and silicone grippers hold the bottoms of the hemless legs in place comfortably.
You get a large logo on each leg, one black and one white. To be honest, I thought they'd crack and start to peel almost immediately but so far so good. They're still looking tidy.
The dye used in the lowers features Coldblack treatment, which is a new one on me. Coldblack is a finish that's designed to reduce the heat build up in textiles. Does it work? Coldblack have figures to say it does. Maybe they're right but did I notice any appreciable heat difference between these shorts and any others out on the road? No - there are way too many variables to tell.
The uppers are a very breathable nylon/elastane mesh and, again, the multiple panels mean they fit superbly. We're all different sizes but what I mean is that the panels shape the uppers before you get into them. It's not a question of stretching the fabric into the right shape around you. There are two little race radio pockets in the back section that, I'm guessing, not many people will use for their intended purpose. They make a handy stash for a couple of emergency energy gels though.
As usual with Rapha, the build quality is superb with fine stitching throughout and impressive attention to detail that sets these shorts apart from the crowd.
Are they worth £155? Well, you could get two, maybe three pairs of bib shorts for this price if you wanted, so if value is your big criterion you could do much better. Three pairs of standard shorts would doubtless last much longer than one pair of these.
At the other end of the spectrum, a pair of Assos T FI.Mille S5 bib shorts would set you back £169.99, the Assos T FI.13 S5 shorts are £225.99, and the Castelli Body Paint bibs (that Dave is testing right now) are £180, so it's not like Rapha are out on their own in terms of pricing.
These shorts perform really well, they're extremely comfortable and they look great, and if you're willing to pay for that, they'll serve you well.
Top-performing shorts with an excellent seatpad, although you're paying a premium price
road.cc test report
Make and model: Rapha Pro Team bib shorts
Size tested: Large
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
They're designed as racing shorts although they're suitable for anyone who gets the miles in on the road.
Rapha say, "Technical racing bib shorts developed exclusively with Rapha Condor Sharp pros. The anatomic, Cytech pad has been chosen for the maximum range of movement, whether you're spinning up a col or chasing down a breakaway. It is also positioned further forward for an aggressive bike position and is reinforced with a robust fabric panel. The shorts have good stretch but are tight, supportive and durable. The shorts dyestuff features Coldblack treatment to keep you cool."
The fit and the seatpad are both top notch.
The build quality is good and the reinforcing panel under the seat adds a little durability but, realistically, they'll last about as long as any other shorts
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes
Would you consider buying the product? I might. They do enough in terms of performance and looks to make me consider it despite the hefty price tag
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes, as above

It's a Leitz Valloy II
Can I also use regular lightbulbs available in supermarkets?? Or does it have to be a special type of bulb?
I learned that in Europe regular lightbulbs will be banned by 2012. All lightbulbs will be replaced by energy saving lightbulbs. Not sure if you can use energy saving lightbulbs in an enlarger, as they need warm up time. Anyone have experience with them?

Update 3: Let's SIGN UP for ANDROID LADOO CAMPAIGN
Update 2: New Android OS is now #kajukatli #kitkat.
With over 500 million devices out in the world, Android is the single largest modern mobile OS. And it is open source, supported by dozens of manufacturers globally. Ever since Google unveiled the first Android back in 2008, smartphone penetration and growth has multiplied every passing quarter. Today budget is no longer a constraint to own a smartphone. We want to Thank Google for the wonderful gift to mobile computing! But at the same time, also ask - why this Kolaveri with India?
At the last I/O event Google proudly announced that Android has grown 500% YoY in India. That's Huge! And being closer to the scene given the nature of our business, we sure know that Android dominates both the indexes, i.e., sales and popularity. What affects us is Google's choice of names for Android versions. We love JellyBean, but have grown up eating Jalebi. Honeycomb may be delicious, but we crave for Halva.
On behalf of Android fans in India, we are launching The Kaju Katli Campaign. KajuKatli is delicious, a part of our lives since childhood and every mention of the delicious Cashew & Ghee mix excites us. Let's urge Google to name the next version of Android as Kaju Katli. It even goes with their naming scheme that has risen in alphabetic order:
Sign the campaign below and share it with the world. We would send a delicious box of Kaju Katli and your messages to Google CEO, Larry Page and Android Founder, Andy Rubin!

Up to a foot of snow fell in parts of southern New England with the latest winter storm to move through the Northeast, national weather forecasters said Sunday.
The storm began Saturday afternoon and ended by Sunday morning, with some power outages but no reports of critical injuries or major property damage.
The winter storm is strengthening in Canada and is expected to become a full-blown blizzard in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, today.
Forecasts call for up to 18 inches of snow in that region – though the United States will be spared.
Dry weather was expected for days in southern New England, although strong winds may chill the bones.

Since the tragic accident at Evergreen Lake in January that took the life of Idledale resident Greg Henika, a question of responsibility for managing the reservoir has surfaced in the community.
Representatives of the Evergreen Park and Recreation District say the district is one of several agencies with a role in the management of Evergreen Lake. They also say that EPRD staff maintain only the portion of the lake where the ice rinks are located, and not the entire body of water.
The death of a prisoner at the Jeffco jail who waited hours in vain for medical attention has led to a demonstration and a revelation: A deputy reportedly derided the woman for using drugs hours before she died.
Jennifer Lobato, 37, died March 2, a day after she was booked into the jail. An ongoing Sheriff's Office investigation found that a deputy said of Lobato, who had requested medical attention: "That's why you shouldn't do drugs."
Bond was set at $50,000 on March 11 for the principal of Ute Meadows Elementary School in South Jeffco, who was arrested in connection with alleged sexual assault on a child that began more than 10 years ago.
Steven Weigum, 55, was taken into custody March 9 and booked into the jail on charges of aggravated incest, sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust, and sexual assault by a person in a position of trust as a pattern, said sheriff's spokesman Mark Techmeyer.
The Elk Creek Fire Department has received reports that a scammer is calling local residents and asking for donations and credit-card information while posing as a representative of the fire department.
Jeffco Public Schools should pay higher salaries to its principals and assistant principals, teachers who hold relevant master's degrees, and staff in hard-to-fill positions, the district's human resources chief said at a March 5 school board meeting.
As the district moves into its budget season and gears up for contract negotiations with the teachers union, chief human resources officer Amy Weber recommended that board members consider instituting the pay changes to make the district more competitive.
Several months into Jeffco Public Schools' implementation of student-based budgeting, area principals are saying the new policy gives them the ability to react quickly to their schools' hiring needs.
The great horned owl is probably the most common owl in the Evergreen area. A few of the smaller owls may be nearly as common during their brief breeding period, but the great horned owl is a permanent resident in local areas where adequate food and nesting sites are available.
For the past eight years, Evergreen High School teacher Michael Poynter has dedicated himself to teaching science.
For the next seven months, Poynter will dedicate himself to the military, returning to active duty with the inspector general's office.
A shoplifting suspect who died March 2 while in custody at the Jeffco jail requested medical attention during the afternoon but stopped breathing hours later and died before she was seen by medical professionals.
Jennifer Lobato, 37, complained to jail staff that afternoon about feeling ill, said sheriff's spokesman Mark Techmeyer. A deputy then notified the jail's medical staff that Lobato was throwing up and had asked to see a doctor.
Two firefighters carefully carried what first looked like an unconscious person out of the smoke in a home at 3711 Overlook Trail in Evergreen on Saturday.
On closer examination, the unconscious person turned out to be a dummy that was part of training exercises being conducted in the 4,000-square-foot home in the Overlook at Palo Verde neighborhood.

Chipere, Ngoni. (1998) Real Language Users. [Preprint] (Unpublished)
Full text available as:
HTML 119Kb | |
PDF 132Kb |
The idea of a perfectly competent but resource limited language user is the basis of many models of sentence comprehension. It is widely assumed that linguistic competence is a) uniform; b) generative; c) autonomous; d) automatic and e) constant. It is also believed that the free expression of these properties is frustrated by limits in the availability of computational resources. However, no firm experimental evidence for the classical language user appears to exist. Negative evidence for each assumption is reviewed here and the notion of resource limitations is shown to be suspect. An experiment is reported which tested each of the five assumptions underlying the conventional notion of linguistic competence. It was found that native speakers of English a) differed in grammatical skill; b) often failed to display productivity; c) violated syntax in favour of plausibility; d) expended conscious effort to comprehend some sentences and e) appeared to adapt to novel structures as the experiment progressed. In line with previous studies, a relationship was found between comprehension skill and formal education. A new finding is that highly educated non-native speakers of English can outperform less educated native speakers of English in comprehending grammatically challenging English sentences. The results indicate that the classical language user is an inaccurate model of real language users, who appear to differ considerably in linguistic skill. A number of specific questions for further research are raised.

ESPN.com: Freeskiing | [Print without images] |
He'll be tweeting about this later. Aspen/Snowmass' David Amirault hard at work. |
[Editor's note: Freeskiing as a sport is in a state of flux right now. So in this interview series, we're taking a hard look at where we are now and what's next for the sport. Stay tuned next Thursday for an interview predicting the world's next big ski destination.]
You'd have to be living in a hut in Slovenia to not be aware of the social media takeover that's happening right now. Sites like Facebook and Twitter have changed the landscape of how humans interact with each other. And since, this is a freeskiing site, we're obligated to point out that social media has also changed the way skiers conduct themselves, the way ski news travels, and the way athletes, resorts, and gear companies market themselves. So, to take a real look at the state of skiing and social media, this week we conducted an interview on Twitter with David Amirault (@ozskier), Aspen Snowmass' interactive marketing manager and formerly the online editor at Freeskier Magazine. Here's what we learned, and some of what other people chimed in.1
Twitter doesn't sleep.2 Set up the right alerts, just in case. Sometimes waiting until the AM is too late.
If Glen Plake was on Twitter, there's no doubt that I'd follow. That guy lives an interesting life and is an industry icon. Guaranteed that I'm not alone in that statement.
Remember, social is more than tweeting and a FB page. It isn't about the number of followers or fans, it's engagement and quality. Content isn't king, good content is.
Don't worry about the polish of your content, focus on its authenticity. People can see through marketing BS.
I believe that @MikeDski is the model for all to follow.3 Socially, @MikeDski hits on multiple endpoints. Video, events, bitchin' content, and gives value to his sponsors.
I think @WhistlerBlckcmb does a great job with social.4 I wish I had their budget and manpower. I like how @WhistlerBlckcmb constantly shares content from their audience.5 Also, need to mention my alma mater, @SundayRiver. What they do with the resources they have is great.
Atta-boys in social go a long way.
Twitter and FB are the mediums, crafting the messages takes time and money. Events, photos, videos aren't cheap. [For companies without a big budget, my advice would be to] arm a staffer with a smartphone, get @hootsuite, and allow people to live vicariously though your brand's eyes.
Pay attention to @SkiMagicVT this winter6. No budget, lots of soul. That will show in their social strategy.
Social graph information is the next big thing for marketers. Imagine you hit a site and it personalizes instantly.
Smartphones are going to get smarter, data speeds faster, we'll be able to share richer experiences through mobile.
Digi Dave's desk. |
Social is all what you make of it. If someone sucks and tweets garbage, unfollow / unfriend them.
The stories you'd tell around a fire to your friends about your epic ski day are now happening online thanks to social. The conversations are still happening, now with a broader audience and are now rich with photos and video.

I just joined this list serve and while I think I'll mostly be a browser I wanted to introduce myself. I am an art teacher in Holliston, Massachusetts. Elementary level 1-5. Looks like there is lots of great information being passed on. I have a second grade student with cereberal palsy. He uses the computer with a head light of some sort and I thought the Jackson Pollock web site thing he would really enjoy. He comes to art but has no movement in his body at all. So we are looking for computer art stuff like a paint program and the Pollock program fits the bill. Renee http://www.teacherweb.com/ma/holliston/popek/

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini is convinced Italy can compete for the Euros this summer.
The Juve stopper is adamant that his Bianconeri colleagues are fully motivated ahead of the European Championship.
"Us Juventus players still have an appetite," the former Fiorentina man stated at Coverciano on Wednesday.
"Winning at Euro 2012 would be the icing on the cake to what has been a great campaign for all of us.
"Italy will go into the tournament in good shape, with changes after the disappointment of the World Cup in 2010. There is a desire to show that Italy can do well.
"We were considered as a Serie B side over recent years and that was not right. We can't wait to take on the best."

Stand-your-ground law
In the United States, stand-your-ground law is a law that authorizes a person to protect and defend one's own life and limb against threat or perceived threat. This law states that an individual has no duty to retreat from any place he/she has a lawful right to be and may use any level of force, including lethal, if he/she reasonably believes he/she faces an imminent and immediate threat of serious bodily harm or death; as opposed to Duty to Retreat laws.
Forty-six U.S. states have adopted the castle doctrine[citation needed], stating that a person has no duty to retreat when his/her home is attacked. Twenty-two states have removed the duty to retreat requirement from other locations as well.[1] "Stand Your Ground", "Line in the Sand" or "No Duty to Retreat" laws thus state that a person has no duty or other requirement to abandon a place in which he/she has a right to be, or to give up ground to an assailant. Under such laws, there is no duty to retreat from anywhere the defender may legally be.[2] Other restrictions may still exist; such as when in public, a person must be carrying firearms in a legal manner, whether concealed or openly.
Effect on crime rates[edit]
The law's effect on crime rates is disputed between supporters and critics of the law. Economist John Lott says that states adopting stand-your-ground/castle doctrine laws reduced murder rates by 9 percent and overall violent crime by 11 percent, and that occurs even after accounting for a range of other factors such as national crime trends, law enforcement variables (arrest, execution, and imprisonment rates), income and poverty measures, demographic changes, and the national average changes in crime rates from year-to-year and average differences across states.[3]
A study by Texas A&M economics professors found that the adoption of stand-your-ground laws caused a statistically significant increase in the raw homicide rate, and had only a very small positive effect on deterrence of crime. The authors of the study were unable to determine what percentage of the increase was justifiable homicide, due to the reporting of homicide to the FBI often lacking notation whether the homicide was justifiable or not.[4][5]
Another analysis of stand-your-ground laws by economists at Georgia State, using monthly data from the U.S. Vital Statistics, found a significant increase in homicide and injury of whites, especially white males. They also analyzed data from the Health Care Utilization Project, which revealed significantly increased rates of emergency room visits and hospital discharges related to gun injuries in states which enacted these laws.[6]
In a 2007 National District Attorneys Association symposium, numerous concerns were voiced that the law could increase crime. This included criminals using the law as a defense for their crimes, more people carrying guns, and that people would not feel safe if they felt that anyone could use deadly force in a conflict. The report also noted that the misinterpretation of clues could result in use of deadly force when there was, in fact, no danger. The report specifically notes that racial and ethnic minorities could be at greater risk because of negative stereotypes.[7]
Florida state representative Dennis Baxley, an author of the law, said that crime rates in Florida dropped significantly between 2005, when the law was passed, and 2012. However, crime rates had been declining nationally, including a 12% decrease in Florida, since at least 2000. Baxley said that he does not believe his law is the main reason for the drop in crime rates in Florida, but may be one of several reasons. Politifact Florida cast doubt on his belief with statistics showing that, from 2005-2007, the number of violent crimes actually rose and the once-declining crime rate stalled after the law took effect, before resuming previous rate of decline in subsequent years.[8]
A new study in the Journal of Human Resources claims that Stand Your Ground laws in states across the U.S. contribute to 600 additional homicides a year. According to Mark Hoestra, co-author of the study: We asked what happened to homicide rates in states that passed these laws between 2000 and 2010, compared to other states over the same time period. We found that homicide rates in states with a version of the Stand Your Ground law increased by an average of 8 percent over states without it — which translates to roughly 600 additional homicides per year. These homicides are classified by police as criminal homicides, not as justifiable homicides.[9]
United States[edit]
The following states have adopted stand-your-ground laws: Alabama,[10] Alaska,[11] Arizona,[12] California,[13][14] Florida,[15] Georgia, Indiana, Iowa,[16] Kansas,[17] Kentucky, Louisiana,[12] Maine, Massachusetts (though the term is used very loosely there),[18] Michigan,[12] Mississippi, Montana,[12] New Hampshire,[12] North Carolina (Stand Your Ground law (N.C.G.S. 14 51.3)), North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma,[12] Pennsylvania,[19] South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,[12] Texas,[20] Utah,[21] West Virginia,[12] Wisconsin[22] and Wyoming. Other states (Iowa,[23] Virginia,[24] and Washington) have considered stand-your-ground laws of their own.[25][26][27]
For example, Michigan's stand-your-ground law, MCL 780.972, provides that "[a]n individual who has not or is not engaged in the commission of a crime at the time he or she uses deadly force may use deadly force against another individual anywhere he or she has the legal right to be with no duty to retreat if . . . [t]he individual honestly and reasonably believes that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent" the imminent death, great bodily harm, or sexual assault of himself or another individual.[28]
Some of the states that have passed or are considering stand-your-ground laws already implement stand-your-ground principles in case law. Indiana and Georgia, among other states, passed stand-your-ground statutes due to possible concerns of existing case law being replaced by the "duty to retreat" in later court rulings. Other states, including California[14] and Virginia,[29] have implemented stand-your-ground judicially but have not adopted statutes. West Virginia had a long tradition of "stand your ground" in its case law[30] before codifying it as a statute in 2008. These states did not have civil immunity for self-defense in their previous self-defense statutes.
Colorado's statutes reflect the common law's "no duty to retreat" rule.[31] Colorado follows the doctrine of no-retreat, which permits non-aggressors who are otherwise entitled to use physical force in self-defense to do so without first retreating, or seeking safety by means of escape.[32] Only initial aggressors must retreat before using force in self-defense.[32] In other words, a person does not have to "retreat to the wall" before using deadly force to defend himself, unless the person was the "initial aggressor" in the encounter, even if he was in a place he had no right to be.[31]
Other jurisdictions[edit]
Czech Republic[edit]
There is no explicit stand-your-ground or castle doctrine provision in the laws of the Czech Republic, however there is also no duty to retreat from an attack[33] and that has an effect similar to "stand your ground" provision. In order for a defense to be judged as legitimate, it may not be manifestly disproportionate to the manner of the attack.[34]
Stand-your-ground laws are frequently criticized and called "shoot first" laws by critics, including the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.[35] In Florida, self-defense claims tripled in the years following enactment.[35][36] The law's critics argue that Florida's law makes it very difficult to prosecute cases against people who shoot others and then claim self-defense. The shooter can argue that he felt threatened, and in most cases, the only witness who could have argued otherwise is the deceased.[35] Before passage of the law, Miami police chief John F. Timoney called the law unnecessary and dangerous in that "[w]hether it's trick-or-treaters or kids playing in the yard of someone who doesn't want them there or some drunk guy stumbling into the wrong house, you're encouraging people to possibly use deadly physical force where it shouldn't be used."[37][38]
In Florida, a task force examining the law heard testimony that the law is "confusing".[39] Those testifying to the task force include Buddy Jacobs, a lawyer representing the Florida Prosecuting Attorney's Association. Jacobs recommended the law's repeal, feeling that modifying the law would not fix its problems. Florida governor Rick Scott plans his own investigation into the law.[39] In a July 16, 2013, speech in the wake of the jury verdict acquitting George Zimmerman of charges stemming from the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, Attorney General Eric Holder criticized stand-your-ground laws as "senselessly expand[ing] the concept of self-defense and sow[ing] dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods."[40] The defendant, George Zimmerman, claims he was restrained at the time of the shooting, thus allowing no option for retreat and making 'stand your ground' irrelevant to the case.[41]Florida's legislature is currently considering a bill that would allow people to show a gun or fire a warning shot during a confrontation without drawing a lengthy prison sentence.[42]
When whites use the stand-your-ground defense against black attackers, some sources claim they are more successful than when African Americans use the defense against white attackers[43] (however, see below). In stand-your-ground states, the use of the defense by whites in the shooting of a black person is found to be justifiable 17 percent of the time, while the defense when used by African-Americans in the shooting of a white person is successful 1 percent of the time.[43][44] In non-stand-your-ground states, the shooting of a black person by a white is found justified approximately 9 percent of the time, while the shooting of a white person by a black is found justified approximately 1 percent of the time.[43][44] Justifiable homicides have been found to have increased by 8 percent in states with stand-your-ground laws.[43] According to the Urban Institute, in Stand Your Ground states, white-on-black homicides are 354 percent more likely to be ruled justified than white-on-white homicides. In cases with black or Hispanic victims, the killings were found justified by the Stand Your Ground law 78 percent of the time, compared to 56 percent in cases with white victims.[45]
In 2012, in response to the Trayvon Martin case, the Tampa Bay Times compiled a report on the application of stand your ground, and also created a database of cases where defendants sought to invoke the law.[46][47][48] However, their report, contrary to those cited above, found no difference in Florida cases in the way in which defendants claiming self-defense under the law are treated regardless of race, with white subjects being charged and convicted at the same rate as black subjects, and results of mixed-race cases were similar for both white victims of black attackers and black victims of white attackers.[46][48] Shooters of black attackers overall were more successful at using the law than shooters of white attackers, regardless of the race of the victim claiming self-defense, but analysis showed that black attackers were also more likely to be armed and to be involved in committing a crime, such as burglary, when shot, which may explain this only difference found in relation to race.[46][47][48]
In January 2014, retired Tampa police captain Curtis Reeves fatally shot a man named Chad Oulson in a dispute over texting in a Tampa movie theater. Oulson was texting his daughters daycare center during the previews, which Reeves requested he stop, when Oulson refused an argument ensued, which ended with Oulson throwing popcorn in Reeves' face, after which Reeves returned to his seat, collected his gun and shot Oulson once in the chest. Reeves alleges that Oulson threatened him physically and that when the popcorn was thrown, which he claimed he was unable to identify as harmless, he felt in sufficient danger that he believed using lethal force was justified. Oulson's widow, who was present at the shooting, denies that Chad Oulson made any threats towards Reeves, but agreed that popcorn was thrown.[49] Reeves has been arrested and charged with second degree murder but has not yet faced trial, and his apparent intention to use Stand-your-ground as his defense for the killing fueled new controversy over the law, with opponents to the law claiming that Reeves could have simply moved seats or sought aid from theater staff if he felt threatened.[citation needed] The lead investigator in Reeves' case claimed that the consensus among investigators was that the conditions for lethal force to be justified had not been met, whereas legal experts claimed that under the law, the source of the argument and the nature of the thrown object were irrelevant to a Stand-your-ground defense.[citation needed]
