In reply to the discussion: Ann Coulter States SYG Laws Have Nothing To Do With Zimmerman Situation [View all]discntnt_irny_srcsm
(18,479 posts)I do, occasionally, agree with Ann Coulter. This is one of those times.
I do definitely have an issue with elements of the law or how it is interpreted and applied. I have not read all of the Florida SYG law but IMHO:
The purposes of such a law should be:
- to hold innocent anyone who resorts to aggression as a means of defense against initial aggression
- exclude from civil prosecution anyone who resorts to aggression as a means of defense against initial aggression.
The scope of this law should be:
- those who by incident of continuous contact are the initial victims of aggression or physical pursuit followed by aggression
- those whose home, vehicle, vessel, apartment or other established area of business or residence is invaded by or trespassed upon by an individual or group attacking, threatening, menacing or otherwise intimidating by means of physical advantage, weapons or accompanied by one or more others acting in this manner.
Just an opinion.
