I am fascinated by the comments but i do have one question that provides perspective: If the races were opposite and the equivalent occurred, would it be treated equally? Sadly probably not and especially not in Illinois, California, New York, and a few other areas. Equality does not exist in those places..
I'm getting the feeling that some of the posters here are mad at the fact the stand your ground law was applied to the letter. The same people who would demand the the letter of the law be applied whenever they are aggrieved or under similar legal scrutiny.
