ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri How many black youth have been killed without a Stand Your Ground defense? Are these the only two black youth killed this past year? Race only matters when it happens to help politicize the issue. If it were a black youth shooting another black youth using Stand Your Ground as a defense, would you have posted this? I think not. IMHO, the shooter did something wrong. Regardless of the validity of his defense claim, shooting 8 or 9 times into the vehicle strikes me as a bit excessive, not to mention fleeing the scene of a crime. So very much this. There have been many, many shootings in Florida since the other self defense shooting in February. Many of them use SYG defenses, some of which succeed and some of which don't. The same judge hearing the Zimmerman case denied a SYG motion earlier this hear, then the guy was acquitted at trial. Most of them we hear nothing about, until this happens and suddenly it's a big issue, for no other reason than it was a white individual shooting a black individual. Unlike the Zimmerman case though, this one looks like the shooter is at fault though and should be prosecuted.
