Many in attendance signed up to opine on the controversial law that cast a long shadow on the recent case against George Zimmerman, the community patrol volunteer who was eventually acquitted for the shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin....
Kindly excuse the indelicate words, but, Florida's Stand Your Ground Law has turned the state into Baghdad, except the shooter gets to fire a shot into the air while yelling, "Run, N*g$r, Run!
