26. How did we get on this Disgracefully slender limb

-Firstly the purposeful misinterpretation of the 2nd Amendment allows anyone sane or troubled to own firearms (Zimmerman life is bizarre: https://www.newsweek.com/george-zimmerman-timeline-trayvon-martin-459300 )

-Florida's “Stand Your Ground'' law basically says you can use deadly force – such as shooting someone – to defend yourself if you fear for their life, or are afraid of serious bodily injury. In Florida, there is no duty to retreat before using deadly force. Regardless the actual threat.

-Leniency and loose application of the "Stand Your Ground" claims by defendants are often accepted by courts

-When people of color are involved it is most likely their side loses in court.
