Atheists, George Zimmerman and the burden of proof
#6
RE: Atheists, George Zimmerman and the burden of proof
The specific Zimmerman trial aside, when can we have a discussion about the more broad topic of Stand Your Ground laws?

As I understand them, they've effectively changed the definition of "self defense" from "my life was in danger" to "I felt threatened". This seems screwed up to me. How would a prosecuting attorney prove that someone didn't really "feel threatened"? Someone correct me if I'm wrong here but WTF?
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
...       -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist
