Can anyone find a case where a black person "Stood their ground" in Florida and still went to jail?

I am willing to bet you there is at least one black person in jail who "Stood their ground" and probably lots!

1. Anecdotes are not evidence. To make your case, you need to state percentages.

I bet you there are a bunch of black people in jail who "stood their ground."

4. Yeah like the "Zimmerman=disarm America now" morons do?

I see fuck all data or even anecdoteS coming from those clowns - only "a white guy shot a black guy therefore nobody should have guns" exploitative crap.

2. Check out the Dooley

case. Black elderly homeowner was yelling at kid in park to stop skateboarding on basketball court. White father with little girl yelled back that it was not prohibited. Dooley then proceeded to cross street and confront father in park. After a struggle (disagreement on what started it) Dooley shot man while Dooley was on his back. Dooley is using Stand Your Ground but it sounds like he will likely lose.

5. Friends

In the Casey Anthony Case many of her friends were called regarding her character. When this goes to trial I wonder if Treyvons or Zimmermans friends will be called to testify as to their predispositions.

6. As he should but what is the difference between his and zimmy the giggling murderer?

7. There aren't that many differences...

but there is this at least in this case the shooter actually was on his own back. We have zero evidence that Zimmerman spent even as much as a second on his. I am not defending this shooter, I think he deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars and he probably will due to his age. But, he did get a bit more hurt in the scuffle he started.
