Would you like to bet whether the national media will report anything like this?...
Deep in the posting by AllahPundit at HotAir.com, I found this factoid:
"African Americans benefit from Florida’s 'Stand Your Ground' self-defense law at a rate far out of proportion to their presence in the state’s population, despite an assertion by Attorney General Eric Holder that repealing 'Stand Your Ground' would help African Americans.
Black Floridians have made about a third of the state’s total 'Stand Your Ground' claims in homicide cases, a rate nearly double the black percentage of Florida’s population. The majority of those claims have been successful, a success rate that exceeds that for Florida whites…
Forty four African Americans in the state of Florida have claimed a 'Stand Your Ground' defense. Of these claims, 24 were considered 'justified' (55 percent), while 11 resulted in convictions and nine cases are still pending."
