"Why should you get to "Stand Your Ground" when I have to keep moving my desk and changing my stapler?"

Dear Judgie:
They do, and they already did, and you can try to enforce YOUR viewpoint all by your little pinhead self.
He needs to be removed from any position of authority. Failing that, utterly and completely IGNORE and ridicule him.
At the moment he uttered this assholishness, the Florida GOP Legislatures should have been introducing and ramming through even STRONGER “Stand Your Ground” protection.
"Why should you get to "Stand Your Ground" when I have to keep moving my desk and changing my stapler?"
Except that they changed the law!
Some Florida legislator should bring up exactly that bill. Then we would have BOTH: prosecutor has burden of proof, AND payment to defense lawyer comes out of prosecutor's budget if jury decides it was self-defense.
I live in Florida.
I have a CCW.
I carry a very fine Kimber .45 with a nice lazer built in.
I refuse to become a victim.
No threat, just fact.
And all over this country there are millions like me.
My knowledge is third-hand. A legal-beagle FReeper read the ruling and pointed out that the administrative changes made under the new law do actually fall within the areas vested in the judiciary under the existing law, without changing the vesting. I cannot remember who the other FReeper was.
Basically, the revision to the law has to take the vested authority away from the judges in order to make administrative changes to the existing law, to my understanding.
None of this, of course, modifies the fact that a judge who is anti-second amendment is not fit to be a judge.
