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.

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
