"Stand Your Ground" bill passes in Florida

"For a House that talks about the culture of life it's ironic that we would be devaluing life in this bill," said Democratic state Rep. Dan Gelber of Miami Beach. "That's exactly what we're doing."

I personally have no problem with devaluing the life of murderers, muggers, and their ilk. Fortunately, Florida has decided that you don't have to give a crook a chance to shoot or stab you in the back (which is what happens when you try to run from an armed criminal) before you're allowed to defend yourself. I don't know why this was considered "odd news" by Reuters. Just that "liberal bias" I guess.
