What a fucking loser. That whole thing read like backpedaling.

Also, obligatory 'fuck the democrats.'

"“What Stand Your Ground does, it takes away the victims’ right to their day in court. You get to be the judge and the jury without any type of repercussions for it,” said Rep. Juanita Brent, (D) Cleveland."

The "victim" is the person who put the person who shot them into a situation where shooting them was the reasonable course of action.

This is the point I always argue. I intend to get through my life without killing anyone, but that decision's taken away from me the second someone forces their way into my home to threaten my safety and violate my sanctity. That's their decision. If they don't want to get shot, don't break into a place you haven't been invited into.

People with guns shouldn’t be “judge and jury”... also juries that convict black people should either, right? All doublespeak.
