Does Stand Your Ground apply to everybody?

[Ms. Turquoise]

Does it? My neice says "No", because the STAND YOUR GROUND law doesn't apply to Black men. She says Black men are not allowed to protect themselves the same way Whites are.
What do you gun lovers here think? Is STAND YOUR GROUND an equal opportunity law?

Of course it is. Your niece is an idiot.

your niece shows why women belong in the kitchen,, stand your ground has nothing to do with guns,, and laws apply to everyone

 

[johngaltshrugged]

Of course it applies to anyone being threatened.
The law is the law & color has nothing to do with it.
Enforcing it is where the problems start because then you are dealing with actual humans with their own inherent biases & preconceived opinions.

Maybe she lives in an area where certain groups are being denied their rights. Sounds like most Dem run cities in America

So, what does STAND YOUR GROUND have to do with, if not guns?

No, your niece is wrong, and you're both fucking morons. Stand your ground is adjudicated by the legal system, and there is equal protection under the law in this country, even though racist shits like you don't want it.

are your really that fucking ignorant??
dont answer we already know,,

stand your ground means you dont have to run away if attacked,, you could use a gun if you want but there are several other options depending on the circumstances,,

The law doesn't require you to stand your ground. If someone invades your home you can run out the back door and let them do what ever they want to your family.

Off to IGNORE land you go. When posters start using profanity and calling names, that means they have lost the debate already. BYE.

IDIOT, a gun is what most people would use isn't it? (Sorry, I couldn't resist. I usually don't call people names)

STAND YOUR GROUND, means that for you to defend yourself, you do not have to run away first.

Stand your ground laws are intended to legalize murder. Black on white murder will never be accepted as legal and so the niece has it right.

This is a race-baiting thread, based on nonsense. It really should be closed.

 

[Ms. Turquoise]

The STAND YOUR GROUND law was created for scary, wanna be tough Whites to kill Black people. All they have to say is "I thought they were going to hurt me". Think: George Zimmerman. He killed Treyvon Martin and got away with it. His lawyers used the STAND YOUR GROUND defense.

Yes, it is but closing threads doesn't make the issue go away. This portends to legalizing murder, no matter how unpleasant that is to your sensibilities.

The talking points have been heard by both sides and so now closing the thread makes no difference at all.

 

[CarsomyrPlusSix]

You didn't answer the question. It's OK. I know you can't. My niece is right.

It is clear based on your response that they gave you a very clear and accurate response - that you are wrong, and why you are both wrong: you are racist morons.

George Zimmerman was having his head bashed in for being assumed to be a gay man. In self defense George "the 1st white Latino" shot idiot thug Trey Trey right in the chest. The lawyers were right, while racists like you are continually wrong.

Now if you could reign in your savages and teach them not to be savages, then more black people wouldnt be out there murdering each other. The buck stops with you.

Black people know this. And the Zimmerman/Martin case proved it clearly. Thank you.

 

[Donald H]

And thank you for introducing the topic here!

Fwiw, I'm a Canadian and to us the intent of legalizing murder is crystal clear.
