Tonik Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Guess he forgot to mention that. Is he a racist? Does he hate blacks. It would seem so. http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2013/07/22/remember-when-barack-obama-supported-stand-your-ground-laws-neither-does-he/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cg2112 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 That's a really good article, with the exception that it's entire premise is flawed. A "Stand Your Ground" law is a pretty specific self-defense law. It is one in which grants immunity to a person who kills or injures in self-defense without attempting to evade or retreat. The flaw in the argument is that Illinois has no such law. The "Stand Your Ground" that the rightwing blog refers to is not a Stand Your Ground law at all and the the clause that then-Senator Obama supported was not related to criminal immunity. The clause he supported protected a person who defended himself for civil suits brought on by the criminal. It has nothing to do with "Stand Your Ground" or immunity from criminal prosecution.

ReconRat Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Protection from civil suit is part of the Florida stand-your-ground. I wonder if it is in the other 27 states that have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
