There are times when these kinds of senseless tragedies turn into opportunities for necessary change and, given what happened in Sanford, Florida, this might be the case; it might trigger a turning point in America which will result in the people of this society breaking out of their state of apathy and silence and, in a strong collective voice and effort, demanding that this situation be remedied by rolling back stand your ground laws in those states in which they now exist.

 

This is the right time; the people of America must seize this very significant opportunity; they must speak out, they must protest and demand that these totally unnecessary and dangerous laws be stricken from the books. This nation must not be allowed to descend into a state of vigilantism.
