Zimmerman not guilty.

At the very least, you might not want to dismiss any and all people who reference Stand Your Ground in relation to this case; I think it's blindingly obvious that there's more than one legitimate read on the subject. Just because the bloggers at Reason happen to agree with you and Sean Hannity is no cause to be so dismissive of, say, the statistical article I linked earlier.

To be honest, I went back and read the whole article later. It was crap for reasons beyond SYG. For whatever reasons, blacks commit homicide at a much greater rate than whites. In cases where the race of the perpetrator is identified, slightly over 50% of the perpetrators are black. Yet only around 13% of our population is black. Don't you think it reasonable that as the homicide rate increases across a population, that the rate of justifiable (self-defense) homicides would not scale at the same level? Nowhere did I see that "study's" author address this or any other confounding factors. Indeed, I'd call it as much a "study" as when you or I go on Google and pull data from the FBI's website. I guess the difference is that he made a bar graph.
