The fate of a controversial ‘stand your ground’ measure is now in the hands of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem after House Bill 1212 cleared the Senate on Monday. The bill, which was killed in the Senate Judiciary committee on March 4, was recovered via the ‘smoke out’ rule just hours later. The Senate voted 21-14 in favor of approving the bill.
...
In response to the question, Noem’s director of communications, Ian Fury, says, “Governor Noem supports that legislation.” |

"Islam also says that the bill offers too much latitude for the average citizen to decide for themselves if deadly force should be used."
???!!! Eau, PEDDISH the THAWGHT.
"The bill states that a person would have the right to use deadly force if they have “reasonable fear” of 'imminent death' or 'great bodily injury.' Section 5 clarifies that a person is presumed to have held 'reasonable fear' if the person they kill was in the process of unlawfully entering a dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle, was attempting to remove someone from a dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle, or if the person using deadly force believes that un unlawful entry or forcible act was occurring[.]"
*ahek, mutter, blubber* PREPOSTEROUS!!! |

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 |
