And I resolve not to buy a Stevie Wonder CD until he has made a TV commercial without a fee for the NRA and a concert for the Nathan Bedford Forrest Memorial Fund. 

While I agree with his wholesome sentiment.  The "Stand Your Ground" law wasn't even relevant in this instance.  So, it's bullshit to propose that a person can't defend himself and have to worry about being prosecuted because they can't retreat.

It seems as though I only have a right to self defence if the perp is the same race as me.  Does that sound right?
