23. Big fat Internet lie

That is not what happened.


The law specificly says if GZ was engaged in lawful conduct and the judge ruled the state did not prove he was not involved in lawful conduct.

Look I don't like the law but let's all stop lying about it to fit our outrage over the verdict.

In FL the law does not consider what GZ did prior to the shooting a crime. (Profiling and confronting although morally wrong is not illegal)

That means all we are dealing with is 2 people 1 which the state admits is on top assaulting GZ. (They state even got on a dummy to illustrate and to say it won't that bad of a beating)

This was a horible case and a horible state team.

But in this case the SYG was really just normal self defense law in FL.

It get tiring when people on the net complain that the judge gave bad instructions or wrong instruction. She gave the law as it applied to this case. Even the state is not claiming the jury instructions were wrong.

I see you support changing the law and I'm all for that. But the part that people have a problem with the stereotyping and profiling is not illegal and no one is talking about that.

But as a Blackman my reality is that stereotyping and profiling won't be aginst the law for sometime if ever. My blackness is scary to some I guess but I know the score.
