"We can boycott Florida, cut conventions in Florida, for its 'stand your ground' laws," said Jackson, speaking on a panel at the National Urban League's annual conference in Philadelphia. "If we can boycott South Africa and bring it down, we should boycott Florida and bring it down."

Most of the folks that support him on Food Stamps can only boycott Florida by refusing to drink orange just from Florida. This should help,

The master race baiter is on a roll. I imagine his bank account balances are getting low.

Dang, we really can’t afford a Disney trip right now but I guess I’ll have to work it into the budget.

What exactly is the downside to this?

Increased property values?

Less crime?

I don’t get it.....someone please explain.

If you have a criminal conviction, you cannot get a Concealed Carry (or Concealed Weapon) Permit, or even own a handgun.

60+% of black males have a criminal conviction.

So, Concealed Carry Permits are racist, right? So are handgun control laws.

As I sit in my nice, quiet home in Palm Beach County I can’t help but smile knowing that these a_holes are going to pass on paying me a visit. There is hope for this rainy summer after all...

No.

Nobody can ever explain “that” to you, because it is patently not true.

Stand your ground laws were enacted to protect law abiding citizens who use lethal force to defend themselves and their property, from both criminals and our governments criminal justice system.
Far too many innocent people were being unjustly prosecuted for merely defending themselves from harm. By both criminal and civil courts.
A natural human right needed to be codified, and it was.
Obviously, it does not protect everyone as intended, if the POTUS, DOJ and a large group of the chattering class that pretend to be “impartial news media”, targets you personally.

I won't say ask George Zimmerman, because that poor man has been persecuted beyond anything I have ever seen to date in the USA. Leave him alone now.

Ask yourself and your family, friends and neighbors if any of you could possibly be next.

Remembering the effectiveness of the "boycott" of Arizona over our immigration laws, If I were a Floridian... I don't think I'd be too nervous. The worse that will happen is a few leftists tourists will stay away and trust me, this is not a bad thing.

Meanwhile, anybody got a list of 10 or so retail companies based in Florida? I'd like to start buying their products.

As a Florida resident,I appreciate your support of an anti-JJ boycott.
Also, as a Florida resident, I caution you against making purchasing decisions based on a specific HQ locale.

The lower quarter of our state is a corrupt liberal wet dream of rampant lawlessness, criminals and corruption. Citizen and illegals alike.

Where did you think socialists from places like Detroit and NYC retired too?

Oh I know about South Florida being the northern part of the state. I was thinking now might be a good time to buy that
Kel-Tec Sub 2000 I’ve been thinking of. :o)

I agree with Jesse. All blacks should leave Florida and move to peaceful places like Detroit and Chicago and DC.

Yep - doubt that Florida economy would notice and any losses would be more than made up via the lack of crime.
