Florida blacks benefit from Florida 'Stand Your Ground' | The Daily Caller
Ah, there go them pesky facts getting in the way of a good narrative...
and yet the CBC is pushing all sorts of bills to end SYG laws...imagine that...
African Americans benefit from Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” self-defense law at a rate far out of proportion to their presence in the state’s population, despite an assertion by Attorney General Eric Holder that repealing “Stand Your Ground” would help African Americans.
Black Floridians have made about a third of the state’s total “Stand Your Ground” claims in homicide cases, a rate nearly double the black percentage of Florida’s population. The majority of those claims have been successful, a success rate that exceeds that for Florida whites.
