Florida City Bans guns for neighborhood watch volunteers

Sanford, Florida the city where George Zimmerman shot and killed unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin are changing the rules of how civilians can patrol so they can prevent anything like that ever happening again. The new rules will be released on November 5th at community meeting. The new rule will state that  explicitly that residents acting under the authority of neighborhood watch may not carry a firearm or pursue someone they deem suspicious. "Neighborhood watch was always intended to be a program where you observe what is going on and report it to police. In light of everything that has gone on, that's what we're really going to go back and push. That's what this program is and that's all it is," said a spokeswoman for the Sanford Police Department. George Zimmerman, was acquitted in July of the February 2012 death of Martin.The prosecution accused him of racially profiling Martin, a high school student visiting from Miami, and then pursuing, confronting and shooting him.The jury considered Zimmerman's self-defense claim in light of Florida's Stand Your Ground law, which rescinded the duty of citizens to try to retreat from a confrontation. That's part of the reason he was acquitted because of his claim of self-defense.

An adorable kitten last week was caught red pawed but it's owner, Chris Drago when he shot a short video of his cute kittens stealing his pizza. Baby Girl, the 6 month old rescue kitten stole a piece away from Drago's wife when she wasn't looking for just a second. That's when he got the camera and got the video of his kitten absoultey not letting go while also growling at him. As they kept calling for Baby Girl to drop the kitten hissed, growled, and even clawed while still keeping the death grip on the pizza she had stole. According to Drago she had already stolen a McDonalds hamburger a month ago. He ended this with saying "She's harmless and wouldnt hurt you, and she's adorable when she does it." The video is also right on this page on the side if you dont believe this actually happened.
