This all just reinforces to me that that law is fucked up; forget the racial accusations, it's just a fucked up law.
Uhhh, user . . . no one was shot, hurt or killed.
Thanks for sharing that wonderful article emphasizing SYG!
"Alexander, however, said she did not aim the gun at her husband. She said she fired into the air intending to scare him away, and Gray quickly left the house with his two children. No one was hurt in the incident, but Alexander sits in jail facing a 20-year sentence on three charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon."
Forget the racial accusations? Tell that to Sharpton and the NAACP.
The local NAACP believes race may have played a role.
"There's a double standard with stand your ground," said Isaiah Rumlin, president of the Jacksonville chapter of the NAACP. "The law is applied differently between African-Americans and whites who are involved in these types of cases," he said.
Online blogs are also raising the question of race. Last week, a spokeswoman for the Rev. Al Sharpton confirmed he, too, was looking into Alexander's story.
