Mrs. America actress, Charlie’s Angels director, and CBS game show host Elizabeth Banks went on a Twitter tirade proclaiming “Stand Your Ground” laws are “BS,” and suggested they create an environment which “helps nobody but people who want justified reasons to use a deadly weapon.”
“Stand Your Ground is BS. We used to play hide and seek all over the neighborhood on summer nights. Intent was to play. We were kids but some of my cousins were big guys,” Elizabeth Banks wrote on Twitter to her 2.2 million followers. The Pitch Perfect director was responding to the Ohio state House’s passage of “Stand Your Ground” legislation last week.

Elizabeth Banks is a beautiful woman, but not a deep thinker.
For example, if SYG with no duty to retreat was the law when she was playing hide 'n' seek and one of 'em got shot, SYG protection would be useless. The shooter would be arrested, prosecuted and sent to prison.
The circumstances of the event determine if using lethal force is justifiable, regardless of SYG and no duty to retreat.
IT ONLY WORKS IF ANOTHER REASONABLE PERSON IN THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD HAVE ALSO BELIEVED THEIR LIFE TO BE IN DANGER.
One doesn't have to be a Rhodes Scholar to understand that.
It's amazing (aggravating, actually) that celebrities think they're right just because they're celebrities. It's equally astounding how irrational most of them are. |

| They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.— Benjamin Franklin Historical Review of Pennsylvania. [Note: This sentence was often quoted in the Revolutionary period. It occurs even so early as November, 1755, in an answer by the Assembly of Pennsylvania to the Governor, and forms the motto of Franklin's "Historical Review," 1759, appearing also in the body of the work. — Frothingham: Rise of the Republic of the United States, p. 413. ] |
