Todo el planeta usa el sistema métrico. ¿Todo? “Casi”: a parte de los EE. UU. No es tan sorprendente (sin decir más #StandYourGround). Es una actitud que podría (rápidamente) volverse suicidaría.

We always have to choose money by design. The alternative is ruin. That's how we are all essentially blackmailed.

Governments are the only societal structure we have that doesn't have to make money to survive. Because of it's monopolistic nature, it's prone to corruption.

But that's the fight. That's how state public banking can solve this.
It must be defended, not left to organized crime take over, or yes, that will happen and has happened.

One can't be a #Republican today w/o being a #racist (and yes, I'm including black & Hispanic Republicans.)

We see black Republicans like #UncleThomas who resent every gov action that helped him get where he is, and Tim Scott who thinks his mere existence disproves racism.

But "Mex'cuns" & "Mus'lims" are seen as mortal threats. Blacks are "thugs." "Build a Wall™" & "#AR15's for all" (no license or training required.) Murder someone in cold blood then just declare #StandYourGround.

by #ChristinaCarrega in #CapitalB:

"Sinzae’s case is a part of a pattern of gun violence that plagues the neighborhood and is one of the first cases in Franklin County where the controversial stand-your-ground law was evoked as a defense. Reed, Bentley and other residents remain frustrated with prosecutors, elected officials, and local news outlets. Their neighborhood is only discussed as a talking point about violence and is ignored by law enforcement because of their socioeconomic status, they say."

@postmarketOS #StandYourGround!

The #StandYourGround laws clearly need to be repealed; I'm not sure why this didn't happen years ago, following the George Zimmerman trial (2013). Any ideas on why these laws are still on the books in 2023?

Susan Louise Lorincz shot and killed her neighbor through her front door while screaming racial slurs. #AjikeOwens young daughter was standing beside her. 😡

She will likely claim a #standyourground defense, but has been arrested for murder in Ocala, #Floriduh. 👉 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/white-women-shot-black-neighbor-florida_n_64801d77e4b0756ff85a1a43

Mother fatally shot by neighbor after dispute over playing children :

The sheriff pointed out that because of Florida's "stand your ground" law, he can't legally make an arrest unless he can prove the shooter did not act in self-defense.

#ReasonableForce legislation trending. Failed #WVLeg provides immunity from civil or criminal prosecution against persons using force, including deadly force, in defense of self, real and personal property.

#Florida #Republican #StandYourGround

In this country there are too many people with hate in their hearts and guns in their hands. And too many laws that give them cover.

Repeal state level #StandYourGround laws. #GunViolence

@Radical_EgoCom FL is an open carry state w/o permit requirements. Simply arm all of the Trans-kids and their families, assert #StandYourGround. Start protesting while armed, maybe get the NRA on your side?

Republican lawmakers to introduce national ‘stand your ground’ bill

"Contrary to the claims of the framers and promoters of #StandYourGround laws, there is scant empirical evidence that the laws prevent crime. In fact, multiple studies show just the opposite." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/stand-your-ground-laws-empower-armed-citizens-to-defend-property-with-violence-a-simple-mistake-can-get-you-shot-or-killed/ar-AA1a9UOz
