The Florida - Stand Your Ground Bill right to shoot....So let's review....
A person in FL can shoot when they feel as though they are about to encounter bodily harm or death.

So,let's test it.

Me, a black female, driving lost in an all white rich neighborhood in the evening.
I see a guy jogging and I pull up to him and roll down my passenger side window to ask a question.
He thinks I'm gonna hurt him and he shoots. Kills me

A. Was I about to ask for Directions?
B. Was I about to tell him he had nice legs?
C. Was I about to cause him bodily harm or death?

What's your answer?

Here's a hint...We'll never know now will we?

2. Single serving pre-emptive strike in a disposable box...
I doubt that will ever fly.

As an advocate and active member of the "Culture of Death", I'm opposed...er...hold on...

3. So, if Katherine Harris approaches me on the street...
...and I perceive that she's threatening me...

This is totally screwed up. I'm all for self-defense, but this is just plain madness.

And, for the record, I want Katherine Harris to live a long and healthy life - exiled to Metaline Falls, Washington, by court order, for the rest of her life. Is that too much to ask?

6. The ethics of our foriegn policy become our street ethics.
The stand your ground bill, because pride is more important than human lives.

8. That pesky Culture of Life thing gets all confused though. How do we
get around it.

That is what the FL Dems need to say. Whadda bout the culture of life. Y'all spend more time on TS than you did thinking about the impact to the culture of life after this effin bill.
