FL: On guard against ‘stand your ground’

Now, they’ve really done it. Florida’s gun-happy, National Rifle Association-controlled Legislature has turned an already dangerous, unpopular law into an unmitigated disaster.

It’s nothing short of legislative malpractice. Florida’s infamous “stand your ground” law — with a long-running, well-documented history of flagrant misuse — has now been elevated into a virtual license to kill.

Already weighted heavily in favor of trigger-happy shooters (freed of any duty to retreat), new changes to the law will not only increase shootings but discourage legitimate prosecutions.

And, of course, elected Florida prosecutors would NEVER try to railroad somebody to increase their conviction count!

Tell that to George Zimmerman. Tell that to the cop Janet Reno railroaded. Tell that to the many others who were persecuted for self defense.

The reason that this bill became law is that prosecutors and judges blatantly twisted the intent of the original law so as to make the defendant have to prove a negative.

The law Florida really needs is one that appoints State Attorneys, not elects them. For proof, see that loony dingbat in Orlando!
