The Kingsport Time reports that Manuael Ernest Dillow, 60, was teaching a welding glass at an Abingdon, Virginia, vocational school when he reportedly “gathered” the attention of his students by forcing them to line up.

 Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Thursday named 17 members to a commission charged with examining the merits of the state’s controversial “Stand Your Ground” self-defense law, The Miami Herald reported.
The Task Force on Citizen Safety and Protection was created after the law came under fire as authorities waited over six weeks to arrest George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. The interval sparked national protests about perceived racial injustice and numerous calls by civil rights activists to repeal “Stand Your Ground.”
Zimmerman has admitted to shooting the unarmed Martin on Feb. 26, but claims he was acting in self-defense while serving as a neighborhood watchman for a gated community in Sanford, an Orlando suburb.
Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law allows a person to use deadly force to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm without first attempting to retreat.-[source]
The Pentagon began flying military helicopters and surveillance planes over the U.S. border with Mexico last month as part of an effort to withdraw all but 300 of the National Guard ground troops who have helped patrol the rugged border since mid-2010.

Lepore, a director at the U.S. Government and Accountability Office, told a House homeland security subcommittee hearing on Tuesday.
About 12 Blackhawk helicopters and several fixed-wing manned surveillance planes began flying regular patrols over the Rio Grande in Texas for a mission called “Operation River Watch II” in March.
