    It appears the Rev. Al Sharpton is ready to get it on.

    In what way - specifically - would you characterize Mr. Sharpton as "ready to get it on"?

    I can't speak for the good reverend but to me, it would appear that he's tired of seeing incidents where African-Americans are being killed by whites and little to nothing is being done about it. If it were African-Americans killing Whites, we're talking about a different story. It is what it is.

    Interesting story in the NYP about a guy who was cleared of murder charges after he stabbed and killed a guy in a fight.

    Not sure if NYS has stand your ground laws. Difference from Zimmerman case is that this guy was arrested and held in jail while investigation took place.

    New York does not have a Stand Your Ground law. But "self-defense" - as was the ruling here - exists everywhere in state law with varying definitions.

    MSNBC reporting that "charges" coming down later today. However, they aren't clarifying if the charges will be murder, homicide, assault or something else.
