What if Florida Man gets scared? Ah, Florida's Stand Your Ground law! It is that thing that makes sure total innocents like George Zimmerman are safe from young black boys in hoodies they're following down the street, just in case they get a-skeered and need to shoot them. According to
In response to Angela Ruzzo...I was dragged up in Tacoma, WA...and i don't know why so many white folks is skeered, either. Back then, we all shared a common characteristic: poverty. And most of us thought we would have a chance to grow through that. I still have my friends in Tacoma...but I live in North Idaho, now and we usually gather over there. And we are surrounded by lonely white guys with guns.
I will come to Hawaii one day and hope to meet you. You are a comfort and boost for me. Have a great evening (when evening comes, it's like 2pm there).
Good story! We have four black homeowners in my subdivision of 110 homes, and two of them have teenagers who walk home through the neighborhood from the bus stop. At least two or three times each year, at the start of the school year, I will get a call alerting me to "gang members" scoping out our neighborhood for potential burglaries. They call me because I'm on the HOA Board. I tell them "They're kids. They live here. Look at the clock - it's 3:30 pm, they just got off the school bus." Geeze Louise, get a fucking life, people. They never call me about the white guy who has a criminal record 20 pages long and drives drunk without a license through the subdivision every day, and who lives with his mom who has 5 guns in the house. No, they never call me about him.
Constant. It's constant but it's not too bad. Does that make me sound Stockholm Syndrome-y? :- )
Still, it's not like the old days when a white man could shoot a black man for looking at him funny. No, wait, it's EXACTLY like that.
I haven't seen that guy in ages, He's my role model!

I'm afraid of Republicans. I think I need to move to Florida. Where, you know, I can vote at them. When I'm scared.

What could possibly go wrong? Oh yeah, someone with too much melanin using the defense.
I seem to remember a movie with Peter Sellers, Peter Falk, David Niven and Truman Capote. Murder by Death?

Is that Johnson from Sales?The screen saver is a sublime bonus, but he already had me at the home-made bandoliers.
Next version of the bill to be introduced will be called "I'm white so I get to shoot any POC I want-- any questions?"
Floridum FFS!!!! Can't we just snip it off and give the US its much-needed sex change already? Maybe sew back on Miami and the Keys?
Reason 999,999,999 to stay the fuck away from "America's grundle", otherwise known as florida
That is an awesome story and I strive to have many like it by the time I am in my dotage.
Ok, late to this party but your GMa and GPa are superheros.
FFS. I think every politician in this country should be forced to take a course in Logic and Analytical Thinking for Dummies.
