Well-known civil rights activist Jesse Jackson wants Georgia's version of the stand your ground law thrown out.
Jackson announced his support of a lawsuit filed in federal court on Friday in downtown Atlanta challenging the constitutionality of the statute.
"The law must be a deterrent to murder. This law is virtually an incentive," Jackson said.
Jackson believes Georgia's law is unfairly applied in some cases and not in others.
"People are being killed and punished arbitrarily and the law should be consistent and not arbitrary," Jackson said.

Jagmo's definition of "murder" is when one of Eric Holder's people is killed in the act of committing a crime.
Lots of states have SYG laws, why Georgia?
Jesse Jackson was born in 1941. I thought he was a LOT older than that. Dang. He’s only 72 years old. He’s got another twenty left in him. Double dang.
This BS should be thrown out of court immediately and Jackson should be thrown in jail. Jackson does not have any standing to file this BS lawsuit.
Rev. Jesse Jackson KNOWS who BHO2 actually is - and the man in our White House is not a black man at all.
The number of traitors enabling the coup against the U.S.A. is truly breathtaking.
There is nothing arbitrary about thugs breaking into my property, wanting to rob and kill me.
They full well mean to do me harm. The reciprocal is also true.
Hey Jackson, you have no particularized harm so you don’t have standing.
This racist relic had nothing to do so he flew into Georgia to open his big yap. Will he contribute even one thin dime to this alleged lawsuit? No way!!!
I doubt he’ll be around for another 10 years.
these morons should concentrate on their own states instead of coming down here and trying to change our laws.
Cause he’s still fighting the Confederacy.
That’s because it’s mostly black on black violence. No money to be made there.
(Checking relevancy meter)
Nope, sorry Jesse...your relevance is still plummeting. The petulant implosion of your kid after he couldn’t handle not being appointed senator only hastened your relevancy’s precipitous demise.
I imagine he’ll pull out the last desperate attempt—a BOYCOTT—very soon. He’s losing his ability to intimidate anyone. His hustle is gone. Time to pack it in, “reverend”.
my thoughts too. stay the hell in Chicago and stay out of the south .
RICO. Find the state equivalent. Then file the civil counter suit now and sue this fraud into oblivion.
He’s only 72.
Noxious progressives seem to live forever...
Why doe the headline say he filed the lawsuit, while the story says he supports the lawsuit?
