    You’re talking about “Stand Your Ground” laws. They allow you to shoot in self-defense when someone enters your home or otherwise threatens you. This is why George Zimmerman got off after murdering a child. Don’t forget, kids, George Zimmerman killed a child.

    Being on your property probably doesn’t count in most states, but I say “probably” because some states are fucking insane, so who knows.

      George Zimmerman killed a child.

      Hey now, that’s not fair. Zimmerman stalked a child through the night after police told him not to, started a fistfight with that child, and only murdered the child after it became evident that he was losing the fight he started.

      That’s what stand your ground is for, shooting your way out of fights you start. Ask Marissa Alexander, it’s certainly not for firing warning shots at your abusive ex husband when he’s on your property in violation of a restraining order and threatening your kids.
