Innocent folks die regardless. See: murder statistics. Btw, I don't value human life less than you do, or perhaps I do, because I value the rule of law over many Treyvons. And Zimmermans. Heck many Petes too for that matter.





Apparently, yes.

Vigilantism is insane, IMHO. We can't have every amateur, neighborhood wannabe cop with a gun empowered to play judge, jury and executioner.

And as I see it, Floridas "Stand your Ground" law encourages this very behavior. If you take someones life, you should have to prove it was necessary. If it wasn't------off to jail you go.
