(24,764 posts)1. Murder is legal in FL as long as you're a white male
If you're a woman or a minority, it's still a crime.

I thought manslaughter for sure. Unbelievable.

(12,381 posts)6. murder is only legal in florida if
The victim is darker skinned than the murderer.
For example.
A black person cannot kill a white person.
A white person can kill a black person.
An asian person can kill a black person
An asian person cant kill a white person.
A hispanic person cant kill an asian person.
But an asian person can kill an Hispanic person.
A hispanic can kill a black person.
Black people cant kill anyone.
And white people, come on, white people dont go to jail.
