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 |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
