Re: Nice Planet 2011
Right when this all blew up, I read an article in which one of the authors of the law was quoted as saying that he is unhappy with how the law has been used by the legal system to allow people to go after others in its name because they believe those people may have been dangerous. I call that vigilanteism. You call it whatever you want.
I have also read that one of the authors of the law believes that when Zimmerman failed to heed the 911 operator's advice not to follow Martin, that should eliminate Stand Your Ground as a defense, although I'm not sure that they are actually planning to use it as a primary defense.
It also, of course, leaves the question of whether the operators truly was "advising" Zimmerman, but it seems to me that if you call 911, you might consider the things they tell you to be advice.
