They've got a nifty little add-on for Firefox too. It plugs in logons for you with a right click of the mouse. Only free sites though.

Many prosecutors oppose the laws, saying they are unnecessary at best and pernicious at worst. “They’re basically giving citizens more rights to use deadly force than we give police officers, and with less review,� said Paul A. Logli, president of the National District Attorneys Association.
So he is saying that in Florida, the new law doesn't apply to policemen? It applies to them the same as anyone else. They can stand their ground at home too.
“In a way,� Ms. Brady said of the new laws, “it’s a license to kill.�


You might add Ms. Brady, "or be killed".

and my personal favorite:
Even before the new laws, Professor Kleck added, claims of self-defense were often accepted. “In the South,� he said, “they more or less give the benefit of the doubt to the alleged victim’s account.�
Sounds a little like a dig at us hicks in the south. or are we potential "alleged victims".

Sorry for all of the quotes, but it just irks me to see this stuff.
