Even dying is not enough to stop this man from voting

Of all the inspirational GOTV and voting stories I've seen this year, I don't think there's even a contest for my winner.

Ty Houston, 48, a home care registered nurse, was toiling on his absentee ballot Monday afternoon when things got strange at township offices on 13 Mile.
"I was filling out the form as were an elderly couple sitting at a nearby table," said Houston on Tuesday. "His wife, who was helping him fill out the ballot, asked him a couple of questions but he didn't respond. She screamed for help and I went over to see what I could do."

Houston laid the victim on the floor and went to work.

"He was dead," Houston said. "He had no heartbeat and he wasn't breathing. I started CPR, and after a few minutes, he revived and started breathing again. He knew his name and his wife's name."

What happened next astounded Houston and the victim's wife.

"The first question he asked was 'Did I vote?'"

Dumbfounded, the man's wife told him that whether he voted was the least of their concerns.

"She told him 'Your life is my concern,'" Houston said.

According to Houston, the man — who had a tracheotomy in his throat — gulped down a few more breaths and then told her there are only two things that are important to me: "That I love you and that I finished what I came here to do … vote."

Which he had done.

IB4 Republicans use as evidence of dead people voting.

This is the so-called "Stand Your Ground" law

Florida Statute 776.013-(3):
A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.

So let's even(for the moment) pretend that Zimmerman's story that Martin threw the first blow is true. Not that he attacked him from nowhere, because that's demonstrably false. But we technically don't know that Zimmerman made the first physical contact.

What we'll be looking at, is criminal menacing laws. If Zimmerman was engaged in an unlawful activity, Stand Your Ground no longer applies.

A person is guilty of menacing in the second degree when:
He or she intentionally places or attempts to place another person in reasonable fear of physical injury, serious physical injury or death by displaying a deadly weapon, dangerous instrument or what appears to be a pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun, machine gun or other firearm;

Jumping out of your truck and chasing after someone with a gun at your waist certainly places that person in "reasonable fear of physical injury, serious physical injury or death". And we flat out know Zimmerman ended up making good on the last one.

If Zimmerman is guilty of criminal menacing(and even most of his defenders seem to concede he did things which qualify) I do believe this law does not apply to him.

Note: This is the opinion of someone with no legal training. Anyone who actually does hold a legal degree, please refute/validate this. I have yet to see this subject even broached in the media.

My first diary.

Tea Party "Patriots" are spraying vinegar at the sky to “kill” clouds. They are standing in their backyards, on their porches, and in front of their windows, angrily aiming spray bottles filled with vinegar into the air.

For those of you fortunate enough to be ignorant of chemtrail conspiracies, I'll briefly recap. Certain people think contrails from airplanes are actually a secret government plot to ??? Mind control, weather control, illness, laying the base for a global projection screen in the sky are among the common theories.

Someone had an amazing idea to counter these evil trails. Spray vinegar in the air! With a hand pump. In your own back yard.
And the idea has caught on. Just check "Chemtrail" and "Vinegar" on Youtube to see how how common this... colorful belief is.

Of all the videos, the following is almost certainly the greatest. A woman emerges from her home to clean the sky as her son video tapes it. It documents her methods, as well as successes. The state of the lawn from the constant vinegar showers is also note worthy.
Watch the entire video. Yes, it's ten minutes long, but it's just too surreal.

It worked!!!! The chemtrails vanished.
Imaginary problems demand imaginary solutions.
