I can certainly agree with you on this.
I love yubbas excuse that only gangsters wear hooded sweat shirts when you can buy hoodies from nearly every clothing company there is I own several hooded sweat shirts and I am no gangster either.
Yubbas check list for a person up to no good:
If person passes two or more he is dangerous and can be shot.becuase he scares yubba and Florida law says; "reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other problem is the laws wording against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other***8217;s imminent use of unlawful force. However, a person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if1)8195;He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony"
1.Non white male
2. Male wearing hoodie(double points for a non white)
3. Male walking down any street wearing hoodie or other wise looking like a gangster.(double points for a non white)
4.Any person that fits yubbas overly paranoid fear of living in crime ridden Florida that has a murder rate higher than any war zone.
To me the whole problem with self defense laws that are worded like Florida's is that they give overly paranoid persons more or less a legal right to shot a person that falls into there definition of a dangerous person and shot them even if the person does not make a clearly threatening act or does something.
The whole problem with Florida law is the wording it allows an overly fearful overly paranoid or overly aggressive to use deadly force when it may not have been needed and an aggressive person if in a situation with few direct witnesses can easily have been the provoker but when the other person is dead there is no one left to ask.
Even before this indecent some Florida legislators have been concerned about the self defense laws wording and wanted to have the law revised.Now even the very Conservative state
Governor Rick Scott says that the law needs to looked over and revised.As is right now DAs have been unwilling to touch any self defense case because the wording makes ti a hard case to prove was the person defending them selves really in immanent danger or not. From what I understand the NRA lobbed hard to have alot added to laws wording.
I am not saying that every or even most gun owners in Florida are paranoid or aggressive the problem is that the wording of the law to the mindset of an overly paranoid and fearful person the wording allows them to create the immanence of danger even if none truly exists.
