what other critical parts of the street uh... trevor on mon case is uh... this
stand your ground law
now of course is always conservatives will say
uh... nobody could see this coming this tragedy
where terms that people so shooting everybody in the calling a justifiable
homicide by the way
since it has passed in florida
the number of so-called justifiable homicides
because of stand your ground law
nearly trouble
going from thirty to thirty six
but rising crazy is when they always say i couldn't see covered what is a problem
reuters wrote in two thousand five when the bill was being considered
missus chile
critics say the measure could lead to
to racially motivated killings and promote deadly escalations over
arguments
nobody can see that except for reuters who wrote that article as you were
considering the book
and then they had quoted legislators as well here's another one
all this bill will do is so more guns
and possibly turn flora
into the okay corral
that was democratic state rep
for slots per
motivate you
well the guy who had introduced a bill is uh... represented dennis baxley
but luckily he of course has
no racial background on this at all time in the racially motivated killings he
couldn't anticipated here
and uh...
although it's interesting use a member of the sons of confederate veterans
he's also advocated for the production of a florida license plate
honoring confederate
and uh... you wind up having racially motivated killings wobbling nobody gonna
say nick i mean
electricity here
but i don't want you to misinterpret what i'm saying i'm not saying their
backs the thought yes this will help white people kill black people et-cetera
at the time
when they pull back say hey maybe should reconsider this bill
and perhaps it one of the problems was that it might previously motivate turns
isn't particularly moved by that argument
and given all this confederate connections is it that surprising that
he wasn't
more buy that argument that turned out to be a hundred percent right
hence the in which so who pushed for this
well of course to groups that
push for this one four
the n_r_a_
nobody surprised by that
and in fact there are a work with that baxley and senator dural
uh... there you
and coordinate it with them on how to pass this bill
n_r_a_ lobbyist marion hammer was at their role in this uh... john nicholas a
very good article about this
and uh...
the marianna was so in a row the passing it
he was there when jeb bush was their science m
flex a
they say jeb bush leverage elected we did that and i i'll more delays but more
to the stand as a guest
anne past on the back nicely done
but it was just an hour it was also out
uh... alec is american legislative exchange council
they are business group that tries to lower taxes lower regulations
uh... destroy unions lor the minimum wage throughout the country at they do
model legislation
and they literally right at the legislation and they headed to the
legislators and the legislators handed in vote on it pass it it's at
that's how corporations have bought our government
including at the local level not certified
in fact we did a story not so long ago about a legislative effort not to take
out
the part that had alec printed on and she had been
without even revising a civil war
and she opposite on that it's sick
baghdad school was coordinating with baxley and pete
turns out it was alec in fact
they're probably part of the organization where government state
merges together and does whatever those business interests
have in mind
including by the way crushing their competition in are there areas so it's
not like their pro-business their pro monopolies their pro the businesses in
the corporations that already exist that's not pro-free market that's not
pro capitalism it's crony capitalism and of course the republicans love it in in
this case that led to more guns being sold so than r a n alec works that idea
every song i was they had to buy more of our companies that are of course
and and
actually represents gun manufacturers not gun users
and their in whenever there's more guns no matter who has them
and uh... alec has this guy i think all the criminal justice task force
and uh... anti-feminist then that turn into a public safety in elections has
forced
you know it's staffed by it
we'll look at that
coke associate
uh...
that was hand-picked by the charles folk
charitable foundation
n_r_a_ alec
all in favor of this law
and former u_s_ attorney or attorney cannot copy
calls a stand your ground law
a license to kill
and these republican business interests
are thrilled about it now while i sit here from
not only the push for it not only did they succeed in florida
but then they use for that as the model legislation
for twenty-four other states
and now they also have your stand your
background law
and as i've told you before in florida
the number of pat so-called justifiable homicides
says the law was passed has nearly tripled
