MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The mother of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin joined a prominent African-American lawyers organization in vowing Monday to keep the pressure on legislators to repeal or overhaul "stand your ground" self-defense laws.
Sybrina Fulton repeated her assertion that neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman "got away with murder" in the 2012 killing of her son largely because of Florida's self-defense law, which generally removed a person's duty to retreat if possible in the face of danger. It was the first of its kind in the nation when passed in 2005. Now, about two dozen states have similar laws, but the focus of repeal efforts is squarely on Florida.
"We have to change the law so that this doesn't happen to someone else's child," Fulton told reporters at the National Bar Association's annual meeting. "My son wasn't doing anything wrong. He was simply walking home. He wasn't a suspect."
I WANT LAWS TO MAKE PARENT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR GD THUG KIDS.
IF I WAS SUSPENDED FROM SCHOOL, DO YOU THINK MY MOTHER WOULD "DROP ME OFF AT MY BABY DADDY'S HOUSE" OR WOULD SHE MAKE ME STUDY AND STAY IN MY ROOM? WOULD MY MOTHER LET ME RUN AROUND AT MIDNIGHT ON A SCHOOL NIGHT AFTER BEING SUSPENDED? WOULD MY FATHER KICK MY BUTT FOR BEING SUSPENDED? THE ANSWER IS MY MOTHER AND FATHER WOULD MAKE ME STAY HOME, STUDY HARD, REVOKE ANY PRIVELEGES AND DISCIPLINE ME.
WTF IS WRONG WITH "SYBRINA FULTON" OTHER THAN SHE RAISED A THUG, HE GOT SHOT AND SHE AND HER BABY'S DADDY ARE WORTHLESS POS PARENTS? DUMBAZZES GET WHAT THEY ASK FOR. WHERE THE FARGE WAS MOMMY AND DADDY? FARGE HER-I HOPE SHE CRIES HERSELF TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT FOR HER MISGIVINGS AND FAILURES-SHE AND HIS "DADDY" CAUSED IT BY NOT RAISING THEIR KID PROPERLY-THEY ASKED FOR IT-THEY SHOULD LIVE WITH IT-WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE TYPE OF FAILURES AS PARENTS?
