The left far better than the right knows how to identify, personalize and destroy its enemies and it has very acute early warning system for threats to its ideology. The left knows that the stand your ground law was a safeguard to protect innocents from the mob. Regrettably, the mob magically erupts in full cry whenever it can exploit race for political gain even at the cost of fundamental justice. We have seen it in the Duke lacrosse case and in the Tawana Brawley travesty. Indeed we have seen the same players strut the same roles.
The stand your ground law has been enacted to protect the Second Amendment. The stand your ground law has been enacted to protect the individual from the lynch mob. The stand your ground law has been enacted to protect the dignity of the individual free from assault. The stand your ground law has been enacted restore the natural right of self-defense to the innocent. The stand your ground law has been enacted to restore the public streets to the law-abiding. The stand your ground law has been enacted to protect victims of racialism. The stand your ground law has been enacted to protect the individual from ambitious prosecutors. The stand your ground law has been enacted to restore proper balance between the individual and the state.
Ultimately, the stand your ground law has been enacted to save us from the kind of demagoguery one reads in this article.
