The mother of Trayvon Martin said Monday that she believed Florida’s Stand Your Ground law played a role in her son’s shooting death, but she wasn’t ready to support a boycott of the state for not changing the self-defense law.
“The thing about this law is I just think it assisted the person who killed my son to get away with murder,” Sybrina Fulton, the mother of the 17-year-old from Miami Gardens, said at a National Bar Association event in Miami Beach.
“I think we have to change these laws so people don’t get away with murder,” she said, adding that her son was unarmed and peacefully walking back to his dad’s place when he was initially pursued by George Zimmerman.
Zimmerman successfully pleaded self defense in the killing. A jury acquitted him on July 13 in Sanford.
But the exact role of Stand Your Ground in the case isn’t clear. Only two jurors have spoken up to CNN and ABC, and just one referenced the law, which allows a person to more easily use deadly force without having to first retreat in a confrontation.
Zimmerman’s legal team didn’t focus on mounting a Stand Your Ground defense, however, saying that a common self-defense justification was all the 29-year-old man needed because he reasonably feared that Trayvon, who jumped him, was going to gravely injure him during a fistfight.
The National Bar Association, echoing calls from the Dream Defenders protestors occupying a part of Gov. Rick Scott’s office in the state Capitol, has called on Florida lawmakers to repeal or amend the law....

Does the phrase “good riddance to bad rubbish” mean anything to her?
Trayvon’s “mom” didn’t even raise him. She is a leach and a creep. STFU, you racist hag.

2 Things. 3 things really.
1. SYG was not an issue in this trial. It was not argued by either side. It had no meaning or impact on the trial or the outcome.
2. Blacks are the majority of Florida citizens who benefit from SYG laws.
3. Sabrina Fulton is an idiot.
Liberals ARE dumber than a box of rocks, aren't they. They can't even argue on the proper issue, can they?
Odd that neither side brought it up during the trial. So SYG has nothing to do with it. Thank the “just-us” bros for starting that line of crap.
FU
First, SYG played no role in this trial.
Secondly, the alternative would be to just let your gangsta son smash in someone’s skull. No thanks.
Someone should contact all of the people that the law has saved. I’d be the first to volunteer if I defended myself from a thug.
So, if you intend to CC, besides your weapon, you need to always have a shovel as well, so that if you are pinned to the grassy area, you can dig a hole to retreat from your attacker. The only thing unclear here is, if the shovel needs to be concealed as well, or if it is okay to open-carry the retreating-tool shovel...
I’d prefer to think of Stand Your Ground as preventing her feral-thug-of-a-son from getting away with murder.
That is really what this is about, cow white people so that the black hoodlums can rob, steal and kill more of them with impunity. The Obama administration panders to this approach, because it buys black votes, just like Obama phones.
Liberal logic - a man shooting his lawfully acquired and concealed weapon against an individual engaged in a brutal and racist assault against this “creepy ass cracker” and being acquitted on the basis of self-defense is the fault of a statute that wasn’t even in play in the trial.
Well, I guess “Mommas don’t raise your babies to be thugs” doesn’t apply to her.
Re. she wasn’t ready to support a boycott of the state for not changing the self-defense law.
Translation: she is walking back the boycott talk because they now know it would be a dismal failure, embarrassingly so.
Does anyone believe that if they thought they had the support they would not do this?
Here comes “Affirmative Justice.”

I think a lot of them know it. This is a tactic of the left, especially the black left. If whites support it, or are perceived to support it (whatever it may be), they are reflexively against it. Their prevailing idea seems to be if whites support it, they’d rather cock a snook at us even when it hurts themselves. So many things they support hurt them more than us, and they still support them because we don’t.
The FAIL is strong with this mother. /star wars /shaft
