Has reasons to not go to Florida. SYG laws may exist in other states - but he knows what happens to black people minding their own business in Florida. They get shot in the chest.

It's silly to question his personal decision. And anyone who thinks HE is silly and irrelevant - well . . . if he's so irrelevant? Why even panty bunch about this statement of his for one second?

I mean- I'm not going to cry if Teddy Nugent there doesn't want to play NJ because we don't have laws that let us just walk around putting bullets in black teenagers chests for shits and giggles and a good time.
