Wow! Feds want to meddle unnecessarily again and for good reason. Holder gives a clue: "But we must examine laws that take this further by eliminating the common sense and age-old requirement that people who feel threatened have a duty to retreat, outside their home, if they can do so safely," Holder said. "By allowing -- and perhaps encouraging -- violent situations to escalate in public, such laws undermine public safety."

There is a requirement in the law for people
not to commit criminal acts against other people, too. There is no "duty to retreat" when one is attacked, the personal
duty is to
survive that attack. Put the blame where it belongs - on the perpetrator of crime, not on the victims. Boo-hoo for Trayvon, but Zimmerman was declared
not guilty by "a jury of his peers" within the requirements of the law.
If we need to "review" anything, there are
millions of Americans who would like to see
Obama's eligibility to hold the office of POTUS openly reviewed by Congress. There is probably an equal number that would like to see Holder's abuse of power in the DOJ reviewed by Congress... but then, he's already demonstrated his
contempt of Congress and gotten away with it. Pax...
