Re: Stand Your Ground/ No Duty to Retreat?

Is suggest that this discussion is not really appropriate for this forum...

 

I am very disturbed learning of the Florida case wherein a young black male was killed for no apparent reason and the murderer may get off because of this so called " Stand Your Ground " law that I never knew about. Wow, talk about not dropping the rope, but instead being invited to pick it up and kill someone with it, with sufficient rationale just that you believed them to be a threat? And no witnesses needed to establish the threat? Can that be? And apparently several other states have this sort of law as well.

What a sad thing to learn. What can i do?
