Madison – The eyes of the nation are focused on the shooting death of Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012 at the hands of a Neighborhood Watch leader in a small, gated Florida community. The shooter claimed self-defense and has yet to face charges because of Florida’s own version of the “Castle Doctrine”. The Florida Legislature went a step further than Wisconsin when they adopted the “Stand your ground” version of the law. It appears the Martin family will, at the very least, be given a chance to see justice served for Trayvon.

In Slinger, Wisconsin, there is another such story; it is the shooting death of Bo Morrison on March 3, 2012. At the time of the shooting, Bo Morrison was twenty years old, graduated college and joined the Marines. Friends who were with Morrison that night say he was just hiding after police arrived at an underage drinking party next door.

The homeowner’s account of events state he spoke to Mr. Morrison. Morrison raised his hands and took a step toward the homeowner. Now, read that again, the homeowner spoke to Morrison, Morrison raised his hands, then took a step? So we are to believe the homeowner was able to first remain calm enough to speak to Bo, then be able to see him raise his hands and take a step toward him? I thought it was dark; does he have night vision goggles?

Another interesting and unanswered question is who called the police about the party next door? Was it the shooter? At 2 am in the morning and only firing a single shot, the shooter must have been a sniper at one point in time, to able to fatally shoot another human being in the dark, half asleep.
