Stand Your Ground is not racist. It works as it was designed to do.

It is also popular, despite the MSM propaganda.

That's because it's reasonable and makes perfect sense.

Its important to point out that 'Stand Your Ground' laws are NOT confined to the use of guns, they apply to any and all types of self defense.

These are two false arguments. To start with, a person who defends themselves is not a “suspect”, and “avoiding” prison time is legal, “evading” prison time would not be legal. People avoid prison time all the time, by following the law.

Second, “discretion” does not exist when someone is threatening you with assault, mayhem or murder. Your only choice is to submit or fight back.

And, I might add that the jackasses who suggest that a woman being raped, “lay back and enjoy it”, instead of resisting, are both morally and tactically failures, because *any* resistance to aggression radically increases the “degree of difficulty” of aggression, and slashes the likelihood of the aggression having the preferred outcome for the aggressor.

Anyone that stands against STAND YOUR GROUND is a racist POS.

Link not downloading for me. Not sure of the station location but the copy posted and the source attritbuted is not using the race issue. Plus at this posting no Floridians are responding. But if it was a Florida station and it was playing Trayvon advocate it should be picketed.
Fact is that NBC station which did the false reports should be getting harrassed every which way untill they’re outof business.

Channel 9 doesn't seem to know that:

1. fires don't "break out."
2. people don't get "shot by guns."
3. rain doesn't "cause accidents."

As a matter of fact, I doubt the folks who work at that station could find their backsides with both hands.

One thing though, they specialize in pandering to the black community.
