See these in New Hampshire too. That is one good aspect of using fossil fuel. You do not cut down trees to use bio-fuel. The forests naturally regenerate and animals not seen in a locale for one-hundred-fifty years or so return.

Here's an update on the "Stand Your Ground" case in Florida,one that has my interest at a higher level than usual.
(FOXNEWS)

A Florida man charged with manslaughter -- after a sheriff previously said the fatal shooting was justified under the state’s “Stand Your Ground” self-defense law -- made his first court appearance Tuesday.


Michel Drejka, 48, is accused in the July 19 shooting of Markeis McGlockton, a 28-year-old black man, during a parking lot confrontation. A judge kept the bond at $100,000 – which will keep Drejka in jail for the time being.

Judge Joseph Bulone in Pinellas County Court on Tuesday said if Drejka posts bail, he must surrender all of his guns to the sheriff, wear an ankle monitor and not leave the country. Drejka appeared in court via video from the county jail.


The shooting, which was caught by a surveillance camera, reignited the national debate about the “Stand Your Ground” law and led to demonstrations by protesters who criticized Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gulatieri for not arresting Drejka.

McGlockton’s girlfriend, Britany Jacobs, was seated in the couple’s car with two of their children when she said Drejka confronted her for being parked in a handicapped-accessible space. McGlockton had gone into a store while she waited outside.

The video showed McGlockton leaving the store and shoving Drejka to the ground. Seconds later, Drejka pulls a handgun and shoots McGlockton as he backs away. McGlockton then runs back into the store clutching his chest.


Witnesses said he collapsed inside the store in front of his 5-year-old son, also named Markeis.

Gulatieri originally declined to charge Drejka, saying one day after the shooting that the man was protected by Florida’s law. The sheriff passed the case to prosecutors for a final decision and Drejka was charged with manslaughter Monday.

"The charges are only one step in this journey to get justice for the unbelievable killing of Markeis McGlockton in front of his children," said Benjamin Crump, the family's attorney. "They understand when you look at the history of the state of Florida and stand your ground that this doesn't equal a conviction. All of America is watching Clearwater, Florida to see if there will be equal justice for Markeis McGlockton...If the facts were in reverse, nobody would doubt what the outcome would be."

Here's one in "David in Tenn's" neck of the woods,
UPDATE: A man has now died after a double homicide outside an East Nashville bar Friday morning.


The victims have been identified Bartley Teal, who turned 33 on Friday, and Jaime Sarrantonio, 30.

Teal died during surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Sarrantonio died shortly after arriving at Skyline Medical Center. Two other robbery victims with Teal and Sarrantonio, a 34-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman, were not shot.

Police say the four victims left The Cobra on foot and walked to a nearby convenience store to buy snacks.

Police believe the murderers were looking for random robbery victims and targeted the four innocent victims when they got back to the bar's parking lot. Witnesses said the murderers demanded Teal’s belongings and shot him when he replied that he didn’t have anything. It is unclear why they killed Sarrantonio.

The suspects are described as two black men, at least one with dreadlocks, who fled in a later model small Chevy car.

Police say after the shooting, the murderers fled to North Nashville and dumped the victims' belongings in this obscure alley off 23rd Avenue North and Heiman Street. The belongings have been recovered and are being processed at MNPD Crime Laboratory. Police say it appeared the suspects were familiar with this area.

Moose on the Loose--Michelle Wolf Fired.
Remember Michelle Wolf, Who Mocked Sarah Sanders? Her Show's Been Canceled.

Remember Michelle Wolf, who mocked White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders when Wolf emceed this year’s White House Correspondents' Dinner in April? Remember when she dressed up in the colors of the American flag and performed a march celebrating abortion? Remember how Michelle Wolf had her own show on Netflix, titled “The Break With Michelle Wolf,” that premiered almost immediately after the Correspondents Dinner?

Now Wolf’s show has been canceled, according to The Hollywood Reporter, which wrote, “Despite plentiful buzz following her controversial turn as this year’s White House Correspondents' Dinner emcee, Wolf's late-night entry failed to garner the kind of viewership that warrants a second season at the streaming giant.”
GRA:Couldn't happen to a less funny person,unless it was Colbert,Kimmell,Meyers,Fallon etc.

Let the shooter plead guilty to some lesser charge such as discharging a weapon in an unsafe manner and then give the man probation. Sounds fair to me.
