nothing at all is complicated about our law, unless the writer is a left wing thick idiot, which I bet they are.
It’;s simple when ones life is felt in danger then you can shoot to protect yourself.
The only reason this is news is because yet again a black kid was shot by a non white guy and the NAACP etc are kicking up a fuss.
How about the white kid who was attacked on his way home, has gas poured on him and set alight, while racist name calling was going on?
What’s that MSM the victim is white, oh quick cover that up then.
Some time ago a white guy shot two illegals and the black groups yet again came out to protest and the sheep of the MSM went to cover this as national news.
I’m not aware of just where the case of the boy being doused with gas and set afire stands but I don’t see what it has to do with this case. Each case should stand on it’s own merits. The argument often raised by black Americans, “My ancestors were slaves and lynched so you gotta cut me some slack for killing this cracker.” is totally bogus as well. Injustice in one case doesn’t justify injustice in another. Also, the lynch mobs of Al Sharpton and crew are as bad as was the KKK.
IMO the prosecutor in this instance should take what he has before a grand jury.

The author of the law says it doesn't protect someone who stalks someone else and initiates a confrontation. Zimmerman was under no obligation to run away, but he had no legal authority to pursue and confront this child.
As a lifetime NRA member,CCW permit holder, and overall strong supporter of gun rights including castel doctrine, it isn't that simple.
Maybe there is more to this story, and I hope their is. But the events as being portrayed in the media are suspicious. What happened at another place at another time doesn't matter. It is what happened here that has the potential to impact our rights.
Make no mistake, regarldess of what actually happened, this event has set back stand your ground laws across the board. THis event, regardless of what actually happened, means that it will be all that more difficult to have the law defer to using lethal force inside your house or in your car if attached putting the onus of criminal and civil legal liability of needing to use lethal force on the victim instead of the criminal.
A young kid, regarldess of race, weight, height, etc., is dead. A 911 call exists telling the guy they didn't need him to follow the kid. But he did anyway. Whatever trouble he got himself into looking for trouble is his own fault. Unless something comes out that says the kid he killed was looking for trouble my blame goes on the moron wannabe robocop that has given intelligent gun owners a strike. Worst of all, there is a dead kid and grieving family that from everything I have seen so far shouldn't have had to happen.
However it shakes out I hope justice is done.
Please note that I post under the exact title, I do not necessarily agree with that title.
In this case, I necessarily agree with you, and I fully support the Florida SYG law.
Additionally I propose that the secondary purpose for this MSM hate whitey propaganda is laying a foundation for gun grabbers to attack all stand your ground laws.
Another thread here today had the stat:
blacks attacks whites 18 times more often than whites attack blacks. fbi stat.
