Earlier this week, prosecutors announced that the 28-year-old man who pulled a gun on a Royal Palm Beach Walmart shopper and his daughter would no longer face criminal charges, saying he was acting in self defense.
Prosecutors cited Florida’s “Stand Your Ground" law as part of the reasoning for not bringing charges. The controversial law allows a person to use deadly force almost anywhere if he or she feels their life is threatened or they are at risk of bodily harm. |

Even after years of being corrected, the media STILL can't get it right.
THE ZIMMERMAN DEFENSE DID NOT INVOKE SYG.
The MSM have been "Yes, but"-ing SYG into their reporting ever since.

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
