Justifiable Homicides Spike in Stand Your Ground States

   Laws that escalate disputes are not good. Laws that facilitate killing are not good. Laws that encourage violence are not good. Such laws increase the number of homicides. And, yes, I am speaking of Stand Your Ground laws.
   I find it interesting that a report released four days ago shows justifiable homicides spike when Stand Your Ground laws are enacted.
