I had the fun of explaining the Castle Doctrine, Stand-Your-Ground laws and Trayvon Martin's murder to my 13-year-old today.

So at least I got to read some good news regarding someone who murdered in "self-defense."

Judge Adam Michelini slammed Monahan in court, saying

NO HE DIDN'T. He SLAMMED Monahan by giving a calm milquetoast "what you did is awful and you should feel ashamed" statement? I wanna see a judge suplex a motherfucker before I see the word SLAM used in this context again

Reporter SLAMMED for overuse of the word SLAM in clickbait titles.

Probably not even written by a human though, really.

I don’t know what it is but I love it when the word slam is casually thrown into headlines and articles. Some weird fetish I guess. I don’t like clickbait but the use of that word is hilarious to me, especially when describing casual arguments like this instance.

I was waiting for some news on this and I'm so grateful to hear that he's actually gonna be punished.

Absolutely nothing can make up for what he did, but I pray to the cosmos that this deters other fools.

A-1 Quality judge up there in NY.

Yeah, it's stuff like this that's made me afraid to pull into driveways to turn around. I'm afraid to even pull up and stop next to a house in a neighborhood I don't know. There have been so many stories like this going around lately.

Here's hoping for life.
