Surprising

"But approximately one third of Florida “Stand Your Ground” claims in fatal cases have been made by black defendants, and they have used the defense successfully 55 percent of the time, at the same rate as the population at large and at a higher rate than white defendants, according to a Daily Caller analysis of a database maintained by the Tampa Bay Times. Additionally, the majority of victims in Florida “Stand Your Ground” cases have been white.

African Americans used “Stand Your Ground” defenses at nearly twice the rate of their presence in the Florida population, which was listed at 16.6 percent in 2012."

Well, we all "know" concealed carry and stand your ground are both racist in nature and lead to a "wild west" environment, so clearly this data must be wrong (I'm just chiming in to say this before the usual crowd of anti-gunners starts).

Have a legitimate source? Not that I don't trust the impeccable journalistic standards of a rag that starts every story with a false premise that goes over wingers' heads.

Regardless, what your link proves is that blacks actually get arrested and have to use the SYG defense to defend their actions. Zimmy was not even arrested because of the SYG law. Once he was done using it for that, he abandoned it when it was time to defend himself. Even the guy who wrote the law and the Republican Governor who signed it said it didn't apply to Zimmy's circumstance. So why wasn't he even arrested? Why was he given a six week grace period to get his story straight? You know this one.

So wtf was your post about? Was there a point other than that Daily Caller is another cloned wingnut rag run by one of the most prolific liars in the history of journalism who sold his soul for money because he knows pugs are mindless dupes?

You don't recognize a race baiting post when you see one? You actually think this one was about your pet issue? You just got punked.

I just thought that it was an interesting tidbit Trap, if true of course and it'll probably get a few knees jerking.

It is also used by drug dealers when a drug deal goes bad.

Color of skin has nothing to do with Florida law, who lives does. The dead have no voice.

 

[as seen on tv]

i'm not questioning your statistics, bernard. i just didn't realize there were that many black neighborhood watch vigilantes with concealed carry permits who were spooked by white guys in hoodies. (my response is satiric)

your post is in the same zone as when the media was forced to admit that in the new orleans hurricane whites actualy perished in greater numbers than blacks.

in each case, facts were concealed (or altered) simply for the benefit of agitating the public to create a ratings bonanza.

i gave this a like.

SYG laws aren't racist. They're just bad policy - they encourage more violence.

Of course, they can come in very handy for racists.

You just did. What you won't do is be responsive to any points made. That's because you're full of shit....like your source.
