Quote:If the NRA is serious about the right to bear arms, and serious about the right of self-defense being a “human right,” then the group needs to announce a new program immediately, complete with a website that takes donations of both money and guns to give to young African-Americans.
Only then, when an African-American male is profiled and stalked by creepy white men in the United States will he, too, have the ability to “stand his ground.”
And Drippy, was it your fucking hero jesus who said "stand your ground" or was it "turn the other cheek." You are such a hotshot xtian asswipe I am sure you have the answer.
Stand your ground did not apply to the Zimmerman defense. George had a legal right to question and even follow/watch treyvon as a neighborhood watch captain until the police had arrived. Zimmermans case was based on basic life endanger self defense because someone lost control of himself. Nothing leading up to treyvon loosing his mind on George gave treyvon the right to beat George as he did. If anything treyvon's case could have been built around stand your ground, IF he did indeed have a legal right to be in that community. Which he did not.
Jesus also told his disciples to sell their cloak and buy a sword to defend themselves if they did not have one, just after the Last passover in luke 22. Turning your cheek is not the same as defending your life. But you already know that as we have already had this very discussion a couple different times now.
