    Yep, you have experienced injustices just like everyone else on the planet, you're not special in that regard. You people do nothing but divide in your quest to conquer. Stop doing that and life will be better for all.

    If she had time to leave to get a gun, she had time to call the police to report the violation of the restraining order. Plain and simple. But please, don't use your brain...

    I guess I've lived a sheltered life. People I know never ask for special treatment, but to be treated fairly and equally.

    Just who is this "you people"?

    You are just another run of the mill racist where you see race in every single thing that occupies your day. Zimmerman was referencing BURGLARS! If they happened to be black males, who's fault is that?

    People like you who want to divide the population in your quest to conquer and get what you want. AN EASY LIFE!

    Liberal logic is hilarious:

    Black woman shoots gun at black man.
    Black woman goes to jail.
    Therefore, white people are racist.

    These people are shameless dividers. They are on a quest to divide in order to conquer. They are a huge black eye on America.

    Sounds rather racist to me. Nonetheless, I think its human nature to make your life as easy as possible once you've achieved your goals in life. I see nothing inherently wrong with that mindset.

    It would be a shame if the USA got to be regarded as consisting of nothing but insane racist gunmen and their victims. If Americans have any sense they will put the NRA and other terrorists behind bars before they do irreparable harm.

    oh, come on now. special treatment is what we all crave. it's why many of us work so hard throughout our lives, to be treated with a little more respect and to gain a bit of an advantage over the rest of the animals. there's nothing wrong with the desire, it's a part of our human nature. if you're willing to put in the effort, there's no reason not to expect a little something extra. the problem arises when some use guilt, deceit or other disreputable tricks to gain that edge.

    Worry more about terrorist beheading people in your streets before you worry about anything over here.

    Of course it sounds racist to you. THAT IS THE PROBLEM! You probably think a chocolate ice cream cone is racist.

    Ok, but that's not what i meant by my post; respect is something that is earned, not a right. I'm talking about when it comes to law enforcement; not everyday life.

    You dodged the issue of "reasonable" and "imminent", and now seem to have just completely ignored the Law, choosing instead to argue scenarios not in-play here.
    So, if on your own property, and you feel threatened, I believe you can show your gun !! So what ? This woman could have just held her gun, or had it holstered, etc.

    Red-herring nonsense. Its not an issue of "greatest threat". The issue is the act of being in the legally defined situation as I quoted in the Law. That can easily occur in a beating, especially where hard surfaces are present.

    Read the Law.

    Actually, we thought it better to kick the King's lackeys out of the country. Smartest thing we ever did.

    Dumbest thing we ever did was let the King's lackeys import slavery to us.

    Fire a warning shot = 20 years in prison

    Kill a kid intentionally = Walk free.

    Makes sense...Only in racist Florida.

    This is NO QUESTION in my mind that Florida is the most racist state in the union. and to think 6 white women helped to aquit Zimmerman and he's a known woman-beater...even the women of Florida are mentally disturbed with Stockholm Syndrome...smdh

    You are asking too much of Shiva. I couldn't get him admit that the mount was a martial arts technique even after I gave him the official name of the technique from judo's official list of techniques.

    So, its a problem because I have an opinion? That makes no sense whatsoever.

    Serious question. Do you not see the fundamental difference between retreating into your own home , retrieving a gun, and going back to area and firing a shot; and firing a gun you already have in your possession while in the midst of a life and death struggle?

    A simple yes or no will suffice.

    Yes, there are isolated cases, but statistically, black defendents have benefited from SYG.

    As I said in another thread I suspect that this case is going to have a significant negative impact on Florida's tourist industry.

    I doubt it will. Who's going to stop going there? Gangstas looking to assault people? That's a good thing.

    Sometimes I like to take a few minutes shooting fish in a barrel ............. call it a sick perversion, but I still like it........ :wink:

    This case got publicity down here as it went down, both for being interesting as it illuminated the finer points of what is, and is not, self-defense/SYG, and because of the seeming harshness of the mandatory sentencing in this case. She might have been better off to have actually shot her ex, which I believe does not illustrate a problem with SYG so much as it does a need to accommodate such as a warning shot.

    I have no time for petty semantics, she was Standing Her Ground to keep her deranged husband from killing her. I don't care if she drove to the Gun Store and bought the gun brand new off the shelf with food stamps.

    Now if the man killed her, you'd be in here sayin "I woulda' shot him if I was her"...now GTFOH...

    You have NO IDEA what the law really is. Time for your pot stirring racism to go on ignore.

    Petty semantics? LOL It goes to the heart of the law, and by the way if a woman of ANY color is being abused and she leaves , goes and buys a gun and comes back and shoots the guy, she's going to jail, and rightfully so.

    But as you've already made it clear that you have no interest in actually discussing anything, enjoy the rest of the day.
