Florida Stand Your Ground Shooting

[Rev. Rye]

That would seem to be necessary to make the implication in the OP.

Is that a "yes"?

You’d think so, but the sad thing is that given the racially (and by extension, emotionally) charged nature of the situation, and the known fact that the laws in question tend to be enforced along racial lines, it’s plausible enough that someone jumped the gun. There could be differences in the wording of the law, and differences in the crucial minutiae of the situation that made the circumstances less extenuating. I legitimately don’t know at this point, and I currently don’t have time to pore through the wordings of the laws or the details of the Alabama case. At this point, however, I am left to assume that these are two cases that seem like legitimate cases of self defense (even it’s more morally grey in the OPs case, as I Went over earlier in the thread) and the black woman was sent to jail and the white guy won’t even be prosecuted.

I highly doubt that there’s a clause in the Alabama law that says “if a Nigger does it, ignore everything else in this law,” but there is clearly a blatant racial disparity in the enforcement of this law, unless black people, who still have a disproportionately large number of poor people living a hardscrabble existence, especially in the old South, are somehow less likely to be in situations that could turn deadly.
