Navy Yard.\u00a0 While many on the left sought to use the tragedy as a means of resurrecting gun control, Horace said the gun used in the shooting was obtained legally and D.C. has very strict gun prohibitions \u2014 so gun laws cannot be made an issue.\u00a0 Instead, people \u201cneed to look at some of the ancillary issues\u201d \u2014 namely, mental health.\u00a0 His debate partner for this segment, journalist Karen Hunter, agreed with Horace.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the two disagreed about George Zimmerman \u2014 who was recently brought back into the headlines after his estranged wife accused him of violent acts against her.\u00a0 Hunter, obviously still angry about the not guilty verdict in the Trayvon Martin case, suggested Zimmerman\u2019s history should have led to his incarceration for the Martin death.\u00a0 Horace pointed out that irrelevant information to the Martin death is inadmissible in court and that police are not qualified to make psychiatric calls.\u00a0 In another story about a University of Alabama sorority criticized for not pledging black applicants, Horace said a private institution should never be forced by the government to do anything, and that this is a harbinger of big government and \u201cwe don\u2019t need a government that big.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project 21 co-chairman Horace Cooper, on Arise TV\u2019s 9\/19\/13 edition of \u201cLeft, Right and Middle\u201d segment, talked about the recent shooting at the Washington, D.C.
