What the Hell, America?

How does 2013 Florida have a (Stand Your Ground) law that seems cut and pasted from 1881 Tombstone? Because let’s be clear here: according to current Florida law, you can get a gun, follow an unarmed minor, call the police, have them explicitly tell you to stop following them, then choose to ignore that, keep following the minor, get into a confrontation with them, and if at any point during that process you get scared, you can shoot the minor to death. And the state of Florida would say ‘Well, you did what you could.'

Okay so it's not a good idea to go to America right now anymore. Especially if you're black. Aw, I guess trips to Disney World (in Orlando, Florida) is no longer an option.

And there goes my American viewers . . . Goodbye :(

UPDATE:

Oh, that's why the jury found George Zimmerman innocent.
