As we all know, most of the people flipping out over the verdict are not keen on facts and may not believe you when you tell them the case had nothing to do with Stand Your Ground. That's why you can just provide them with the link to the above article and save your time and energy.
Yup. With self-defense, you only need to prove fear of imminent death or fear of grievous bodily harm. QED.
But,sadly,my gut tells me that Saint Trayvon's DC "dad" is gonna have the last laugh here.
Shirley you jest! You expect a liberal with their closed mind made up on pure magic thinking to actually read an article opposing their mindset? LOL
Black churches are giving out Skittles today. Enuf said.
I read on another post here on FR over a week ago that any black person has at least four male relatives with criminal convictions in their past.
Loosening concealed carry weapon requirements and ‘stand your ground’ laws would have a detrimental effect on extended black families, as young men would end up dead.
It appears to me that Progressives are trying to do to the U.S. what Progressives did in England: disarm the law abiding citizenry so others do not get killed.
This is tampering with our sacred right to self-defense.
Nothing is sacred to the liberal mind except slaughtering the alive unborn ... and they get that little ritual in the black communities way too much for black people to still be blind to the democrips’ evil exploitation of them.
I do not believe that is correct, because I heard the Judge say it when she was reading the law that was going back with the Jury to deliberate on. She mentioned stand your ground and self defense.
Yeah, I know you're right. I don't even try to persuade Liberals anymore. Last night, one of my liberal friends put what he thought was a deep, provocative post about Stand Your Ground and Zimmerman's acquittal. I laughed, briefly thought about bursting his bubble, but decided to let it slide. More people have since commented about how such a bad law could lead to such a bad verdict. They all think that they're the next F. Lee Bailey or Johnnie Cochran, meanwhile they're dissecting a completely irrelevant law. LOL!
It's still legal to protect yourself. No requirement to run away first or beg the government for help.
From a criminals (black) perspective “stand your ground”
laws and an armed citizenry are occupational hazards that
make their chosen profession unreasonably hazardous.
If they could these asshats would get OSHA to declare such
laws and weapons as work hazards and have them restricted
or outlawed.
Compare the number of Chicago homicides compared to casualties of operation enduring freedom (Afghanistan).

If the Sharpton’s and Shabazz’s were concerned about black homicide, why not look at the problems in Chicago? When it’s statistically more dangerous to walk the streets of Chicago than to serve in a combat zone, I think it might be a problem. Instead they latch on to a death that’s not black on black and fan the flames. The Zimmerman trial is all about creating racial tensions from our street agitator in Chief. It’s all he knows how to do. It’s theater designed to fill the news with a story that diverts attention from the real problems, like employment, healthcare, etc. It is truly disgusting and I am willing to bet that Holder will pursue a civil right case for the express purpose of keeping this in the news. They are desperate and have no moral grounding.
>> my gut tells me that Saint Trayvon’s DC “dad” is gonna have the last laugh here.
I know that’s what you desire, but I look forward to this your latest curse on George Zimmerman to be proven spectacularly wrong.
Just as your previous thousand curses on the innocent man were proven totally, utterly ignorant and wrong.
Looks like we’re going to be kept busy trying to inform the dumb masses. (Say it fast)
NPR likewise keeps insisting that the Zimmerman case somehow casts doubt on the wisdom or fairness of "stand your ground" laws.
It's bad enough to tell lies; it's even worse to tell them with the tax payers' dollars.
