Heard on the radio coming home a new Quinnipiac poll came out concerning the above.
While I don't remember all of the numbers broken down, I did pick up on something I found to be interesting.
That would be the breakdown in terms of whites as compared to blacks.
62% of whites are in favor of the law,.......62% of blacks are against the law.
Wonder why the diametrically opposed results?

But Brown said the biggest difference was race.
Sixty two percent of the whites in this survey support "Stand Your Ground."
Sixty two percent of blacks oppose it.
Hispanics, according to Brown, were divided on the issue.
Brown said 47 percent of the Hispanics surveyed support the law, while 42 percent disliked it.
Men are a good deal more likely, 62 percent, to like Stand Your Ground; whereas women, only 51 percent support it," he said. "A majority (of women) but a bare majority."

Thanks for filling in the missing blanks Gary![;)]
I did remember that women were almost split on the issue.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Gee I don't know, But maybe if we look at the ratio in prison.
^^^^^^^
BINGO!!!
62% versus 62%...
Essentially 2 in 3 of each demographic takes the opposing position... Hummm... [:D]
family member fall victom to the stand your ground law.
This is just a guess but look at the ratio of violent crimes and burglaries/robberies committed by the two groups. Funny feeling that one group is voting for protecting themselves from the Stand Your Ground law.
We have a winner! [:p]
The numbers are interesting though...
62% versus 62%...

With them ratios there will be only 38% of the blacks left after they are shot.
