What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted by on August 4, 2012, at 9:21 pm

On July 31, Democratic State Sen. Lena Taylor posted this photo to her Facebook page.

As noted in the photo, that’s Sen. Taylor posing with Trayvon Martin’s Mother at the Rainbow Push Coalition Conference in Chicago, and unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know who Trayvon Martin is.

What’s shocking to me is that Sen. Taylor thought it appropriate to pose for a picture with a woman whose son was gunned down by a firearm-wielding man, considering this is the same Lena Taylor who voted to enact not only the new law allowing for concealed carry of firearms in Wisconsin, but also the so-called “Castle Doctrine” law that led to the shooting death of 20 year-old Bo Morrison.

In my opinion, Lena Taylor has no business posing in any photos with anyone whose life has been impacted by gun violence, because Lena Taylor has proven through her voting record that when it comes to guns and gun violence she’s part of the problem – not part of the solution.

  1. Wrong, If you had a brain you would know that Tryvon was beating up on his victim,. We have a Second amendment right to defend ourselves against anyone that wishes to harm us. Drug dealers, crooks and other low lives still will have guns. It has been proven many times that the places that have the stronest gun laws have the most gun crime. Chicago anyone. You want get rid of crime, stop breeding all those fatherless babies , stay in school, get married BEFORE you have childern and have real men that take care of the childern thaat they bring into this world. Get off of all the welfare programs and start taking responsibilty for your own selves. The poorest cities in the country are run by Democrat Mayors and most of them are Black. Barrett anyone. Stupity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

  2. Actually, thats the definition of insanity, which clearly you must be if you believe some of the statements in your post. Thank you for voicing your obviously Republican support, but to say that the poorest cities are run by Democrat mayors is asenine. Trayvon Martin’s killer was not a drug dealer, crook , or thug so they arent the only ones with guns. I assure you that there are more active fathers, but we tend to focus on the negative so much that we miss that bit of detail.Also, everyone on entitlement programs are not there because they want to be; I work with families who are making an effort to provide for their families without government assistance. Getting married before having children doesnt guarantee child stability (see Jeffery Dahmer). It would be a good idea to juxtapose myths versus the cold facts, you’d see an effort being made to change the dynamic of our neighborhoods more than you know.
