The Reefer-Madness excuse, or the same defense you give when you shoot a dog that gets too bite-y.

. The Tampa Bay Times reported:

• Those who invoke “stand your ground” to avoid prosecution have been extremely successful. Nearly 70 percent have gone free.

• Defendants claiming “stand your ground” are more likely to prevail if the victim is black. Seventy-three percent of those who killed a black person faced no penalty compared to 59 percent of those who killed a white.

If you’re the defense, just go with the Reefer-Madness excuse, or the same defense you give when you shoot a dog that gets too bite-y.

And, while you’re at it, gun nuts in Florida, why not institute the same rule for food that you drop on the ground for your pick-a-punk vigilante shooting? say, the “three-second rule.” Like, you shoot someone, anyone, and if you call out, “1-2-3 Stand-My-Ground-Not-It!” and then say, “no backsies!” you get to have your victim stuffed at a taxidermist of your choice, paid for by the taxpayers, of course.

I get the impression that in Florida, if George Zimmerman had stalked Trayvon Martin with a military grade flamethrower and set him on fire, at a minimum he’d probably be in prison right now for arson, or felony damage to a wealthy landholder’s private property.
