Thank you, John Stewart. Truly and sincerely - thank you.
"I feel like Florida and Arizona are locked in a harms race," Stewart joked after learning that Martin's shooter George Zimmerman was walking free due to Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law, which allows people to use deadly force any time they feel threatened.
"How can this state have that law -- and Spring
Break?" Stewart wondered. "It's like New York, the signs we have in the
subway: 'If you see something, shoot something.'"
Stewart also took note of how the cable news networks have been
handling the story, finding it particularly funny when they tried to
solve the crime themselves like some C.S.I. spinoff, "C.N.I" (Cable News
Investigation). He found it touching when people all over the world
started wearing hoodies to show solidarity, but when all the anchors
started wearing them on-air, he couldn't resist playing a round of "Jedi
or Sith Lord?".
