Democratic Lawmaker Says ‘Stand Your Ground’ Laws Let White People Get Away With Murder

I guess she’s not from Chicago, where black people get away with murder every day.
Some white person is going to sue her for Cultutral Appropriation because of that cowboy hat.

Flori-duh.
If she paid attention to reality, and it’s pretty obvious by her costume that she doesn’t, she would note that the latest “SYG” instance in FL has resulted in the arrest of the shooter. The law doesn’t apply if you provoke the fight or refuse the opportunity to de-escalate the situation. The Florida perp had a history of coming to the gas station and provoking fights. He lit into a woman for some minor offence (I think she parked crookedly) and her SO came out and told him to back off. When that was met with threats, the SO punched him. The perp drew a weapon and the SO backed off. The perp shot him, and is now being charged with manslaughter.
According to what we were taught in CCL class, in Texas, the perp would have been arrested that day – not weeks later – and would have been charged soon afterwards. Even a shooting by a LEO is investigated as a crime. It is a testament to the law-abiding nature of gun bearing citizens of Texas that we take this responsibility seriously.
