TALLAHASSEE — The death of an unarmed 17-year-old and a police department’s reluctance to charge or arrest the neighborhood watch captain who shot him has stoked a national debate about a 2005 Florida law at the center of the case. The “stand your ground” law … allows people to use deadly force in cases of self-defense when they believe their life is at risk … Previously, Floridians outside of their home, workplace or car were required to use every reasonable means available to avoid danger before using deadly force. –Tampa Bay Times, March 21.
Stand your ground. Stand your ground!
Chamber in another round!
Some guy sitting in the mall
May seem innocent and all
But what looks like a Cinnabon
In his hand might be a gun.
Better not to take a chance.
Look! He’s starting to advance!
Heading for the Sunglass Hut
Keep him in your sight! That nut
Thinks he won’t be recognized
When he comes out in disguise.
Safest to assume the worst
Pull your piece and get him first
Assume position by this trash bin.
Cover me, I’m going in.
Stand your ground, stand your ground
If some kid is hanging ‘round
Looks as if he might harass you
Walks behind but doesn’t pass you
Ask yourself: are you in danger?
From this violent hooded stranger?
If you answer yes, or “maybe,”
Some momma’s gonna lose her baby.

Florida, the orange state,
Sandy beaches, like Kuwait,
Pretty girls, sunny sky,
What a lovely place to die!
It’s only one of twenty one
That let’s its people pack a gun,
Take it into bars and schools,
Whether they be wise or fools.
Just ask any candidate
On the Grand Old Party slate.
It’s in the number two amendment,
Let the crazies be transcendent.
Quick! The other forty nine,
Stand your ground and please enshrine
Our right to act out bigotry
And make it one more ministry.
Of course I meant 29.
