Can these “critics” explain how allowing the growing number of home-grown barbarians to intimidate decent people is a benefit to society?
This is so funny, because, as you know, the Stand Your Ground provision didn’t have anything to do with the Zimmerman case. Even funnier, MOST Traybots have now fallen back to the only position that they can take after seeing all of the evidence, which is some form of “Trayvon was standing his ground when he attacked Zimmerman because he was scared.”
So, if Trayvon was standing his ground (he wasn’t), then why do they want to repeal the Stand Your Ground laws?
So what about the other 29 states that have a similar law?
Zimmerman had the right to defend himself. He is innocent. These “boycott” people are idiots.
Also....leave it to a liberal to protest something totally unrelated to the recent case, the outcome of which they don’t like. Morons. (Or....like Rahmbo says “Never let a crisis go to waste.” Course being like Rahm still makes them morons.)
I hope this boycott turns out like the Chic-Fil-Et one. I know I will do my best to see that it does.
These people are totally insane.
Gonna be quiet down there, since many people have already decided not to spend their vacations there because of a corrupt system that allows outside influence to prosecute a person for defending themselves
These people must have their way, even when they’re wrong.
Fact is blacks in Florida benefit more from the Stand Your Ground law than whites or others . Blacks have made about a third of all stand your ground claims in the state and a majority of those claims have been successful . In fact a the black success rate is higher than it is for whites in Fla.
Heh, good luck with that. Boycotts usually fail miserably, and I seriously doubt Florida is going to feel much of a pinch, long-term, from any of them.
One does wonder, though, if there’s going to be some quiet, off-the-radar pressure by the administration or the DOJ on the state? In the 80’s, the Feds were able to use highway funding as a threat against states that didn’t raise their drinking to 21. That was by law, of course, but one suspects there’s a whole lot of back-channel pressure that could be exerted on Florida in the wake of the Zimmerman trial.
Note to self.....buy orange juice.
They can relocate their vacations further south to Cuba. And not come back!!!
I’d love a boycott here and so would others, no more race baiters, no more left wing kooks, great I’ll sign the petition for them
Great idea, stay away from Florida, it means it will be easier for us to find a parking place at the shopping centers, no waiting on line at the restaurants, plenty of room at the beach, no boisterous activities and no arrogant obnoxious and rude people from the NE trying to tell us what is good for us. So we got guns, so what? Mostly good law abiding people have them, we don’t go around robbing 7 11s, we don’t pretend to be Dirty Harry, or Paul Kersey either. A large number of us are Veterans, and we are no threat to anyone other than someone who is threatening to harm us. You might say we got each others back when that 911 response is too slow to arrive.
I would take it one step farther: People who live in Florida but would boycott the state if they lived somewhere else....should leave! win-win-win!!
So the criminal class is going to boycott Florida. What’s the downside?
