Earlier this week, prosecutors announced that the 28-year-old man who pulled a gun on a Royal Palm Beach Walmart shopper and his daughter would no longer face criminal charges, saying he was acting in self defense.
Prosecutors cited Florida’s “Stand Your Ground" law as part of the reasoning for not bringing charges. The controversial law allows a person to use deadly force almost anywhere if he or she feels their life is threatened or they are at risk of bodily harm. |

Even after years of being corrected, the media STILL can't get it right.
THE ZIMMERMAN DEFENSE DID NOT INVOKE SYG.
The MSM have been "Yes, but"-ing SYG into their reporting ever since.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
