The mother of a teen slain at a Jacksonville gas station after he and his friends refused to turn down their music will be among the panelists at a seminar in Orlando about the controversial Stand Your Ground law.
Jordan Davis' mother, Lucia McBath, will be among the experts examining whether there is racial disparity in the application or enforcement of Stand Your Ground laws.
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is hosting the forum, which takes place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 17 in the grand ballroom of the Rosen Centre Hotel on International Drive. The forum is open to the public.
Law school professors, state legislators and public policy organizations also will take part in the discussion.
Florida has been a hot bed for debate on the law following the deaths of Trayvon Martin in Sanford and Davis. Stand Your Ground gained notoriety in the trial as neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman's attorneys said he was defending himself against Trayvon. Zimmerman was acquitted....

Why use facts when you have ignorant emotion?
When they find blacks have been a major beneficiary of this law what then????
If I lived in the hood where crime happens daily having a Stand Your Ground law is a life savor.
Oh well.
If young blacks would learn to read and write and speak English, it would a good start to fixing some of this stuff, But no, that would be “acting white”.
Here, home invasion robberies only happen to black persons. Seriously.
Of course, it is because there are not drug dealing cash and inventory in the homes of many white folks.
Even so, it is black persons who benefit from the castle doctrine.
Black men NEVER get to use SYG! * Wrong http://tinyurl.com/nboht35

“Discuss”
Yeah sure. Lots of discussion and debate on both sides of the issue to be had I’m sure.
There IS no racial disparity in the “Stand Your Ground” law.
Blacks have the protection of that law equally available to them as a defensive option.
OH...you mean, by “disparity,” that more blacks are VICTIMS of the law?
Well, stop invading homes, you dumbsh1ts. Then you won’t be gunned down.
VIOLA! Problem solved. No disparity.
So the Florida SYG law allows you to shoot somebody who won’t turn down their music?
How shocking! Glad I live in New Hampshire!
"Stand your ground" works a whole lot better for people when you can "stand on your own".
Disparity my butt. It's justice.
Looks like they have a terrorist on panel but no one from the NRA.
Why in hell is that anytime a white guy kills a black guy the white guy is automatically made out to an agent of the government by the black community?
All this race crap becomes moot when you have separation...sorry it didn’t work out, we were just wrong for each other, good luck.
Peace.
—if John Lott is allowed to be heard, he’ll do a good job of defending SYG——
They will not be happy until allowed to rob/beat/rape WHITES with immunity.
It’s called “jussiss”.
“Its called jussiss.”...
If anyone expects “jussiss”, don’t come around here expecting to walk away, “jussiss” will be served out of the barrel of a 40 Glock! Then I can say “Justice has been served” (I speak English).
Blacks committ a VAST majority of violent crime.
Whites, excercising lawful deadly physical force, don't want to become a victim of violent crime, and thus (luckily) shoot and kill (with either justifiable or excusable homicide) your dumb criminal ass.
True.
