Biz, respectfully, Martin and those who are like him, and support him want to be able to say “Hey crackas, shut your door and don’t worry about what I’m doing.”
That led to the decline of many fine neighborhoods throughout the US, including the one I grew up, the ones my parents and grandparents grew up in. Those neighborhoods are shells of what they used to be, working class neighborhoods with maintained property and well maintained kids. Not hoods in hoodies, skulking around, gathering intel on who they can victimize next.
Shame on George Zimmerman for looking out for his.
If we all had his physical courage, we would have a lot less crime in this nation.
Stand Your Ground also means don’t cede your neighborhood to thugs.
“That led to the decline of many fine neighborhoods throughout the US, .... Those neighborhoods are shells of what they used to be..Shame on George Zimmerman for looking out for his.”
Respectfully, Zimmerman has stigmatized the neighborhood he was supposedly trying to protect. Can you imagine trying to sell a house in there now? What effect this will have on property values? The Lawsuit against the HOA that is sure to come? Zimmerman may have been well intentioned, but he’s still an idiot.
