I just had a realization last night: Neither George Zimmerman nor the Stand Your Ground law are the targets of protection in Florida.
The ones being protected by the police and the State Attorney are State Rep. Dennis Baxley, who introduced the bill, all in the state houses who voted for it, and Jeb Bush, who signed it into law. If both Zimmerman and the law goes down, so do they. It's all so simple when you step back far enough to see the whole picture.
