Former Bush Press Secretary Dana Perino persisted the weekend’s primary conservative argument on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, when she asked why President Barack Obama chose the Trayvon Martin shooting as a subject for a nationwide tackle (albeit an impromptu one) but now not some other crimes—particularly, the March shooting of a toddler in Stone Mountain, Georgia all through a robbery strive with the aid of two black teens.
“When a president speaks, it’s to multiple audiences,” Perino mentioned. “So from the prism of self-defense, while you call to mind a younger mom whose two 12 months outdated son used to be shot in the face by the two black teens who approached her in Atlanta, and that child has died—Why do presidents select to discuss one case and no longer the other? That’s why it’s higher possibly to not speak about any of them. They selected to speak about this one.”
“I do suppose that the president is signaling: we’re going to have to maneuver on, just right good fortune on Stand Your Ground,” Perino mentioned.
However the one-case-not-the-different cuts both ways, as former Obama marketing consultant Van Jones mentioned.
“The Stand Your Ground scenario may be very, very tricky,” Jones said. “You might have Marissa Alexander, that’s the subsequent big case. She’s the African American woman who tried to face her ground against her abusive husband. She fired a bullet into the ceiling, she gets twenty years in reformatory for firing a shot in the ceiling, whereas any individual who fires a shot into a young person continues to be strolling the streets a free person.”
