Stand Your Ground (Unless You're A Black Woman)
by Abby Zimet
The surreal case of Marissa Alexander, a 31-year-old Florida woman who fired warning shots into the ceiling - with a registered gun - to escape a beating by her abusive husband, against whom she had already taken out a protective order. Charged with attempted murder, she claimed self-defense under Stand Your Ground law, lost, and under the state's strict minimum sentencing requirements was sentenced to 20 years.
See also post #42 for added confirmation that Florida's African Americans are indeed still slaves,and unworthy of being treated like normal Human Beings.Way to go Florida!!!!
