There are pictures at the site. This is a different view of the Marissa Alexander case. Alexander was sentenced to 20 years because of a gun law, not the SYG law.

Totally different from the accounts that I have read as well.

warning shots are almost always illegal. Florida's no exceptions use a gun in a crime (any crime) and get a minimum of 30 years is the bad law that needs to be changed not Stand Your Ground gun laws.

What is really desired by those protesting is a “don't shoot blacks, no matter what” law.

In 1926 Detroit, Doctor Ossian Sweet stood his ground against a white mob trying to force the black doctor out of "their" white neighborhood.

1 man died and Sweet was acquitted of murder. It was less than a month before the first gun control bill showed up in the Michigan state legislature. It resulted in a law creating the first "gun boards" and registration in the state.

Trying to reason with racebaiter reverends is like trying to negotiate with a rabid wolf, it goes nowhere, and they’re not going to listen anyway.

As long as rioting and racecard rules prevail, and work for them, they’ll keep using them.

The states with SYG laws need to stand THEIR ground and refuse to eradicate these laws because of community organizers are pitching tantrums.

Cowardly politicians issuing piecemeal concessions are blind to the incrementalism that is destroying our nation.

The states need to tell the reverends Jackson, Sharpton, Holder, and Obama to F-off, and leave the laws in place. There’s a reason the majority of states have these laws, and the right to self defense is as old as mankind, and the animal kingdom. It’s natural, it’s instinctive, and it’s right.

Trying to neuter our right to self defense in lieu of succeeding to disarm us is what despots and dictators do, not Americans.

I don’t imagine there is a person in America that wishes Zimmerman had not got out of that care more than Zimmerman himself. The events that followed happened, and we all know the results. He was railroaded by political pressure into a trial that should not have been, and STILL found not guilty based on the facts.

But the piglets of the left want to wallow in their bitterness as long as they can in an effort to reverse the verdict to their liking, not to get back at Zimmerman as much as winning the battle of division and strife.

Sounds like the rallies should be for justice for Mariisa Alexander, not Trayvon Martin.

I question her story. In other articles, they said that despite the restraining order, which works both ways, she went to her husbands house.

He claims that he was holding one of his children (by a previous marriage) by his side when she pointed the gun at them, not the ceiling. He also claimed that his deposition was false, at the request of his wife, who said that if he lied she would not go to prison.

She also rejected a deal that would have reduced her sentence by 17 years. He expressed remorse that she would now be separated from their children for 20 years, and said he wished she had taken the deal.
