Here's a monument that describes one of the first times "Stand your ground" was uttered to some people who were threatened.
That monument stands on the common green in Lexington, Mass. today. I saw it there when on vacation in the area last year. The command was given by the leader of the American Minutemen on Lexington Green as the British redcoats approached, sent by their King to take away American guns and military supplies stored in the town. The date was April 19, 1775.
Now we have people who are telling us that "Stand your Ground" must be used 100% perfectly, with no mistakes, no emotional outbursts, no problems at all. Otherwise it must be denied, repealed, forbidden, destroyed.
