contemporary times did a report on standard ground to see how many people
were able to walk away for a bike
killing someone and then stating that they did so uh... in self-defense and
it's really interesting when you look at the statistics
because nearly seventy percent of the swing vote stand your ground had to
avoid prosecution have gone free
seventy percent while
they also found that seventy three percent of those who killed a black
person walked away without a penalty
well fifty nine percent of those who killed a white person went free so that
that last stand there tells you something interesting
in a majority of cases even if you kill the white person
you know walk away freeview stand around so in some ways we've made progress now
you would not have seen that kind of number earlier not to stand your ground
was around before
if you kill white people in the past believe me you would have seen every
repre cautions in the south especially were a lot of these laws are et cetera
et cetera right
another hand
have we gotten all the way they're now obviously we feel uh...
black person you're much more likely to get off the new york until white person
so
the whole thing is absurd because he should get off evi killed one person or
a black person right
and as saying he ran his abysmal and the racial angles interesting
but is overwhelmed by the nonsense of the law on the first place right
and i keep this at as i see those numbers as we've done these stories i
keep thinking
*** encouraging vigilantism biz this thing is going to snap at some point
it's a terrible idea
if seventy percent of time that you should someone dead
you get to get off both all you have to do is claim self-defense
and in oftentimes the cases that we've shown you don't have to show any marks
on you don't show weapon by the guide
mini-trial on martin case there was no weapon entree one skate i it places the
talk about killing where there is no weapon no signs of damage to the guy who
did the shooting at all it senator
and seventy percent time yet off you're asking for a disaster here
society civilized societies in the started involved if you have laws like
the right and when you're talking about this a lengthy justanswer absolute right
about that in fact you can see in the number
the use of this defense has brought by holdup in non-fatal cases between two
thousand eight and twenty eleven
five-fold that's very significant and also because of this people have more of
incentive to go out there and buy guns that actually through their actually
three times more concealed carry permits in florida
since two thousand five went for the first pass this law and you know what
mission accomplished this exactly what the n_r_a_ wanted
they want you to buy more guns salim didn't make more money for the gunmen
fractures
that uh... that although uh... n_r_a_ and so they got you to buy more guns
more people died who cares
florida is not the only state that has this type of legislation or this kind of
what this point there twenty one other states
that have similar laws different variations of it so you're seeing this
throughout the country and alec is behind that they've been very very
successful the n_r_a_'s behind it they've been very very successful
we need to change the system
