Stevie Wonder Boycotting Florida Following Zimmerman Verdict (Video)
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 07/16/13

Posted on 07/16/2013 6:04:47 AM PDT by BunnySlippers

In the wake of the George Zimmerman acquittal, the singer said he would not be performing in the Sunshine State until its Stand Your Ground law is "abolished." He also said he would not be performing in any other state that recognizes the law, which some say contributed to Zimmerman's acquittal in the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012.

Any chance he could include Michigan in that boycott?

I guess as long as the ebony is on top of the ivory, they live together in total harmony. If not, the ebony will boycott, loot and rob to restore the harmony.

This one post says more about where we are as a country than any that I have seen in a long time. And I mean it in “cursive”.

Not only is he blind, he is also dumb.

Note to Stevie, Floriduh’s SYG law had NOTHING to do with this case. It was all about the right to self defense when you think your life is in danger.

You Know Stevie, like the reason you have those Armed Body Guards?

Hollywood really is just a big cult. Either tow the line or get out.

Yeah I know right. What a fine upstanding individual he is. I’m not surprised that he would take the side of somebody whose first instinct is to beat somebody up when confronted. If Chris had a son he would behave like Trayvon.

Stevie back in the day you where the man. Now why don’t you get some of the other singers to boycott Florida, heck please ask them to boycott all of the USA! Ask Beyonce too.

The threshold for political involvement by these “geniuses” keeps sinking lower and lower. Stevie is an incredibly talented guy but what has he done in 30 years? And now this petty protest. It’s really sad.

30 states officially Stevie Wonder free. I’m sure other pro-2A states will also get added to his list.
