And just to make this legislative season extra special, you know, because Stand Your Ground Law
"only exacerbated underlying racial tensions and has given white citizens carte blanche to shoot minorities -- particularly young black men -- under the pretext of self-defense."

The only thing exacerbating racial tensions is media pukes misrepresenting "stand your ground" and its (in fact nonexistent) role in the Zimmerman case.

We good guys also using the liberals' term "stand your ground" doesn't help. It's a "no duty to retreat" law.
