One of the big lessons of this past month or so is that Stand Your Ground laws are racist and target people of color…
…oh, wait:
The NAACP.s Jacksonville chapter has thrown its support behind a woman who will be sentenced Monday in a shooting where she claimed self-defense against an abusive husband under the state.s Stand Your Ground law.
Marissa Danielle Alexander, 31, was charged with three counts of aggravated assault in August 2010 after she fired a single shot into the ceiling of her home during a dispute that somehow turned physical.
So – now the only reason to oppose stand your ground is that you’re racist and sexist?
As far as I can tell the argument coming from the Left is that “Stand your ground” laws lead to “profiling” which leads to white people killing innocent black people.
…she could have retreated to Georgia, Alabama or Mississippi. I think the law is pretty clear on this.

“You can quote all you like – but if you are not factually informed, it is meaningless.
You claim to give the benefit of teh doubt and a presumption of innocence, but you don’t, you haven’t given it to Trayvon Martin.
You’re a hypocrite, and an ill-informed on at that. YOU haven’t done your own homework, since you appear to be unaware of the findings of the prosecutor. Just like you didn’t know there had been a bail hearing set.
Quoting bad sources doesn’t win you anything; GIGO is still garbage whether it is in or out.
And you are still a hypocrite because you haven’t given Trayvon Martin the benefit of the doubt you insist you give everyone. Tsk Tsk…….you can’t get past that hurdle can you.” [glug glug VG-KA glug glug]
Wow, the Van Jones Town sheeple certainly have their chanting points!!!
Well, mberg, why won’t you give poor young minority the benefit of the doubt like you do for white hispanics?
Release the Liberal Fascist Van Jones Town hound on Grampa Mitch: “These people have to have them their guns because they feel inept, impotent, incapable of dealing with a world around them which frightens them disproportionately to any real danger. It’s not like they’re going to outrun someone. They’re looking for the proverbial magic bullet to make them powerful. Except that given their temperamental infirmities, it mostly makes them something else. In the absence of anyone caring about them one way or the other, much less being important enough to rob or otherwise pay attention to them, we see the usually white and old, flabby and crabby crowd doing things like this, to lash out at the world for their lack of importance; yup, that’ll learn ’em!
Seriously – who let Grandpa out in his night shirt, apparently barefoot, with a gun? And if grandpa can’t shoot straight enough to hit something at pretty much point blank range…..maybe it is past due to take away his car keys as well as his ammo and firearm. Getting grumpy gramps here some happy pills to aid his temperament and judgment doesn’t seem amiss either.”
mberg, you been had!
Apparently NAACP Sanford and NAACP Jacksonville haven’t communicated very much recently. I mean, they’re a whole 122.5 miles away. ENTIRELY different societal cultures at play there.
This is all going so well, I mean… we have nothing to do with what is going on here, its not like both sides of the NAACP are calling us.
