In reply to the discussion: NAACP: Stand Your Ground Law Not to Blame in Taryvon Martin Shooting [View all]Edweird
(8,570 posts)24. I'm not talking about Nazis or slave owners - I'm talking about the Klan.
The Klan is what the Hispanic named Zimmerman is being conflated with - not Nazis or slave owners. The shooter had the same odds of being a member of the Klan as the kid he shot. Your post is EXACTLY the kind dishonest zealotry to which I am referring.

I'm a Florida resident and I'm pro SYG. You can be as much of a coward as you choose.

Zimmerman has nothing to do with SYG. He was clearly the aggressor and therefore outside SYG.

I think this is correct. The problem is the arbitrary abdication of law enforcement by the police.

SYG or not the shooter is the child of politically connected people in a clearly corrupt small town.

Trial? So far there is no trial coming, and I don't think we can assume there will be.

Perhaps someone would be interested in training young black males to stand their ground
