Law enforcement officials not accountable for acts of violence resultiing in the death of a suspects. Accountability when there is no direct threat to you or other innocent people. Manslaughter charges for wreckless negligent behavior resulting in death.

Though Florida already has laws on the books for cases of self-defense, Stand Your Ground went further to remove a person's duty to retreat from an assailant and reaffirmed the use of deadly force in any place the person has a right to be. It was the first law to extend the right to self-defense to firing weapons in public places and since then there has been at least 16 KNOWN cases where someone was injured or murdered with no convictions(Not including Trayvon Martin). Florida is not safer and it needs not to be amended but abolished. We are going to stand our ground and get this changed!

University of South Florida researchers have been using ground-penetrating radar to map the school's unmarked burial grounds. While many of the graves have been lost, the USF team has identified nearly 50 grave shafts, 19 more than the Florida Department of Law Enforcement found in an earlier, cursory investigation. USF also suspects that another cemetery exists. But on Monday, Secretary of State 7/15/13 Ken Detzner denied USF's request to exhume the bodies, saying his authority was "restricted to the recovery of objects of historical" value only, "absent a danger to the grave site that actually threatens the loss or damage of those remains."

For too long African Americans have been used as visa cards, ignored, wrongfully convicted, Denied Due Process, denied equal protection under the law, Raped as a people within the systems of the US government, from Courts, Prisons, Schools, Foster Care, Welfare, Medicaid, Underfunded cities and communities. We need to have the Head Directors at State Levels and Federal Levels Investigated for Obstruction of Justice, and Fraud. Complaints are at their highest ever, yet little to no action is being taken at the state or federal levels to Properly Investigate and Prosecute WHITE on black offenders. Little to nothing is being done to enforce the laws against racial discrimination. The US Gov. makes money off of Blacks and the poor with HIGH conviction rates in courts (court cost), high prison population in jails (40k each prisoner a year, 40,000 x 1 Million people), as foster children (20k each child a year, 20,000 x 1 Million children). They close our schools and under fund our communities, leaving more money for their communities and schools. We have to call for an Investigation of Head Directors of Programs who have many complaints but little to no investigation or prosecutions. Most Head directors with the FINAL SAY are White at local, state, and federal levels. Their actions or lack there of is PROOF of Racial Discrimination, Grounds to have them removed with out voting. Each and everyone who failed to prosecute or enforce laws time after time. This has to change for us to get justice. Follow the money you will see the game. We are Visas with no real rights or EQUAL PROTECTIONS.

This petition is in response to the recent verdict pronounced in the Zimmerman trial. I was truly disappointed in the jurors' decision to acquit him of all charges because of the wording in the Stand Your Ground law. Because of this, I would like to propose an amendment that would deter others from taking the law into their own hands, then hiding behind this law as a way of getting away with murder.

Our purchasing power is more powerful than we know. What if we signed a petition saying that we would not travel to Florida for any reason, business or pleasure, until the State Legislature repeals Stand Your Ground? What if we made an effort to NOT buy any products exported from Florida? Perhaps other states with Stand Your Ground laws would notice that economic damage and repeal their laws. We must use the power we have - isolate Florida and its barbarian verdict and laws.

Norfolk police officers are paid by and accountable to the taxpayers of Norfolk. So, when they fail in their duty to protect and serve as in the alleged gross misconduct related to a woman's reported rape by Loredo in the 19th Bay St area in April 2012, we have a right to know, especially since the serial rapist she identified went on to sexually assault two more women and made a thwarted attempt in another one. A female that you or other residents of this city care about could have been a victim due to the careless and unprofessional conduct of the officers involved.

No one should be able to exploited the death of a young man in order to make a profit

This pettion is repeal the Stand your ground law. I think its unfair that you can go looking for trouble in Florida, with a gun and you can find that trouble, and you can act upon that trouble in a way that leaves a person dead, and none of it guarantees that you will be convicted of a crime.

George z free from murder charges

We can fight to restore the promising young life of a woman in Florida. A mom who shot a warning shot where no one was injured. She got 20 Years In Prison. Marissa Alexander is a mother, a college graduate with a Masters Degree, and had no prior criminal record. This is a travesty that can be rectified and her life can be restored. Tell Governor Rick Scott To Pardon Marissa Alexander
