In a bizarre Florida case more fitting for “Ripley’s Believe It or Not,” George Zimmerman — the man who killed unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012 claiming self-defense — won a case against his own assailant, Matthew Apperson, who shot at Zimmerman during a 2015 road rage incident.
But what makes this case so strange isn’t just that this is the second time in three years Zimmerman was on one end of a discharged firearm — it’s that the very same “Stand Your Ground” defense Zimmerman used to avoid prison time was also used — unsuccessfully — by Apperson.

It is my firm belief that those who get in trouble by the confusion and misuse of Stand Your Ground, do so because they pay attention to idiotic journalists like Richard Aborn, the author of this article. I am sure he is proud of this little conglomeration of words and does not realize the colossal contradiction he is giving within three sentences.
Journalists do get things wrong, but they do not have the right to stay wrong on purpose.
But if we have learned anything this year is that the Press is no longer interested in either the news or to correct its own mistakes. It is officially no better than a propaganda tool to be used in political enterprises for the elite. They are dangerously close to Malice and losing the protections offered by the First Amendment and centuries of jurisprudence.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat it again:
When someone is “honestly mistaken” and is corrected, one of two things will happen: they will either cease to be mistaken, or they will cease to be honest.
We know where so-called “journalists” come down on this dichotomy.
interestingly the author ran for District Attorney in NYC back in 2009….guess he believes you should wait for the cops to come to write the report…….
