re: #192 Second Amendment Renegation

And you have described exactly why he is going to walk…

He has the law on his side.

What’s really pathetic is that the law wouldn’t be applied if the circumstances were reversed. If Martin was the older, bigger, armed vigilante wannabe with a cop fetish, and Zimmerman had been the unarmed teen walking back from the store with Skittles and a drink, none of this would be a topic of conversation. Martin would be in jail right now awaiting trial for murder, and we’d be reading from all the usual suspects about how the “stand your ground” law doesn’t apply.
