This whole thing is not about guilt or innocence, we have the opinions of several of America's foremost legal experts that the prosecution has no case at all. It's not even about the 2'nd amendment or gun rights.
This is about:
- A quasi-trained MMA fighter whose mind was blasted on "purple drank" trying to kill a guy with no combat training.
- The victim saving his own life and likely the lives of other people with a small pistol.
- A rogue political party legitimizing a pair of race-hustling criminals by the names of Jackson and Sharpton.
- An open threat of large numbers of brainwashed and ignorant people rioting and demanding a human sacrifice not to riot.
- A desperate rogue-party president claiming that if he had a son, the son would look like an asshole, i.e. like the purple-dranked-out former MMA artist.
- A rogue prosecutor and judge insisting on holding the victim in prison prior to trial for no rational reason and in fact seeking to force him to cop a plea to bullshit charges by threatening his wife with prison over more bullshit occasioned by themselves, and otherwise conducting themselves in a rogue, unprofessional, corrupt, and illegal manner.
It's also about the basic idea of equality in our society and the question of whether or not we now have special/protected groups of people who are legally untouchable to the extent that the rest of us can't even defend ourselves when one of them goes crazy on drugs and tries to kill us.
This case is all about the power of the state. Whether or not it has evidence to support a case is irrelevant, is the point.
If you defend yourself with deadly force, in Florida, you risk being hauled through all the legal process that is at the prosecutor's disposal.
