Guns

‘Stand Your Ground’ Laws Have to Be Repealed Now

Republican justice in action:

Michael Jock, a 52-year-old resident of St. Petersburg, was standing in line behind 49-year-old Randall White at a local Little Caesars on Sunday when Jock grew angry over White’s complaints about the speed of service. The two got began to shove one another, prompting Jock to pull out a .38 Taurus Ultralight Special Revolver that had been concealed on his person and fire twice, hitting White both times in the lower torso.

Yep, it's just another entitled jagoff who thinks his gun is the only solution for conflict resolution, and the Republicans encourage it with laws that promote vigilantism with a hair-trigger. Everyone armed, everyone deciding for themselves who lives and dies. It has to stop now.
