Florida fans of Stevie Wonder who want to see the legend sing are going to have to go on a road trip for the near future. During a performance in Quebec City, Canada, on Sunday, the Grammy-winning performer spoke out about the recent acquittal of George Zimmerman and announced he would boycott the state.
"I decided today that until the 'Stand Your Ground' law is abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again," he told the audience. "As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world."

Awesome. I hope more follow Stevie's example. Maybe his fans in Florida will leave the state.

Of course, if Steve Wonder was in Florida, how would he know?

Now, if only the “stand your ground law” had anything to do with the Zimmerman verdict, Stevie might appear to be intelligent.

I wonder if he knows that 33 States have some form of Stand Your Ground law, including California, which has a much more proactive version of the law than Florida’s.

I urge all 50 states to pass Stand Your Ground laws....let’s make Stevie Wonder do ALL of his performances in foreign countries!
By the way, did anyone tell the blind racist that the SYG law was not invoked in the Zimmerman trial?
To: SoFloFreeper
I’m sure Stevie Wonder is rich enough to never work again. But when your livelihood depends on selling concert tickets across America, his actions seem awfully danged stupid.

"I decided today that until the 'Stand Your Ground' law is abolished in Florida, What about Florida's less controversial "lie on the ground and get your head pounded into the concrete" law?

1. “Randee Dawn NBC News contributor”
I wonder if Randee’s full time job is as a stripper.
2. Another celebrity supporting the criminal element.
