Florida's Make My Day law -- [View all]

[gateley]

I was just listening to Randi Rhodes (who lives in FL) relaying some of the outrageous killings that have occurred since Jeb Fucking Bush signed the law.

Apparently, you can go to jail for shooting someone's dog, but a person? No fucking problem?

I can't imagine living in a place where people can just pack heat and claim you were attacking them and they feared for their safety, they blow you away and they're exonerated.

She also said there are other States where this might become law, too.

I've always felt it unfair if a person WAS being attacked (by a home invader, for example) and they shoot in self defense and they're the ones charged with the crime, but there has to be a fair compromise.

It was a caller who said they referred to it as the Make My Day law, and I think that's really appropriate, from the stories I've heard.
