Dear Florida:

[ritaxis]

I had a lovely, lovely time in the beautiful Panhandle a couple of years ago and always wanted to go back. But I don't see how that is possible. You have made your space deathly unsafe and it terrifies me to think of getting caught in the crossfire.

I realize that as a little old white lady I am not the target of your laws, but (1)I can't outrun a "warning shot" that's aimed at somebody else and (2)it hurts me when somebody's killed like this. And (3) it's disgusting.

That goes for other "Stand Your Ground" states and communities too.

It's insane -- every response to shooting is arm more people and have more guns. This sort of logic must be making Jonathan Swift laughing until he weeps at humanity's determination to destroy civilization.

Love, C.
