Florida Law Gives Citizens A License To Kill
By now everyone is familiar with the Travon Martin case. It has been an unspeakable case of cold blooded murder. Unfortunately, George Zimmerman, the man accused of killing Martin, may get off because a Florida law that gives him protection.
The law in question has come to be known as the “Stand Your Ground Law.” The law states:
This ridiculous law was passed in 2005 with much support from the National Rifle Association and the Republican Party, and since then the number of “self defense” homicides in the state of Florida have tripled.
Despite a preponderance of the evidence, George Zimmerman has not been arrested for the murder of Travon Martin simply because he claimed he shot martin in self defense. He has not even been charged with a crime.
Any objective view of the evidence; the 911 calls, eye witness reports and the testimony of Martin’s girlfriend will reveal that this was certainly not a case of self defense. No one in their right mind could believe that a 28 year old man with a gun could be in fear for his life from a 17 year old teenager with a pack of Skittles and a can of ice tea. But George Zimmerman could get away with murder because of this law.
This law gives Florida citizens a license to kill. All they have to do is claim that they killed in self defense. Who is going to contradict them? Their victims are dead.
It is frightening to think that anyone can be murdered by a person who holds racist views and there can be no legal recourse. Anyone listening to the 911 call from George Zimmerman can clearly hear his racial profile of Travon Martin.
Think about this; after George Zimmerman murdered Travon Martin, he stood there and waited for the police to show up. When they did, all Zimmerman had to do was tell the police that martin attacked him and that he shot Travon in “self defense.” And the police let him go.
While Travon Martin’s family was mourning their loss, George Zimmerman was sleeping soundly in his bed thanks to this Florida law. Despite all the attention and national outrage, Zimmerman has not been arrested for the murder of Travon Martin. He is hiding behind the Stand Your Ground law. It’s all legal.
Until this law is repealed, we can expect even more minorities to be killed without their murders being brought to justice. - The world Weekly
I don't see the force with force when Zimmerman was clearly an adult that out weighed Trevon and he had a gun!
The law in question has come to be known as the “Stand Your Ground Law.” The law states:
A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.”What this means is that anyone who shoots or kills another person can claim it was self defense and essentially get away with murder.
