Yeah, but this is why I love bohrs, the comic really shines a light on how fucked up that state is.

I really wish the south would secede.

Comparisons like this completely discredit any serious attempt to make George Zimmerman accountable to whatever crime you perceive him to be guilty of.

Is Florida considered a part of the south?

Time for Geography Nazi. Yes it is. It's the southern most state and if you're looking for the typical Southern redneck-white trash stereotype culture, it does exist, especially in the panhandle.

No. Do you not know about the context?

I know where Florida is geographically, by 'southern' I meant more so culturally.

I know you're thinking Miami with the influx of Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Haitians, etc but most of Florida is just an extension of Georgia and Alabama.

I actually thought that Florida was split into three;

The Hispanic bit full of Cubans, centred around Miami.
The Southern bit in the far north,
and the central parts, most inhabited by migrants from other states, especially the Midwest.

Look, Flo Rida's lyrics might not be the best, but it's a bit harsh to call him backward.

Not harsh enough. The world would be a better place if that entire genre didn't exist. Normally I don't really care what people listen to, but the culture built up around that sort of music is a plague.

Completely different case.

In November 2012, Michael Dunn, a 47-year-old white male stopped at a local gas station in Jacksonville, Fla. with his then-fiancée. When he pulled up at the gas station parking lot, he parked next to a car full of young, black male teens playing loud music. In the backseat of the car of teens was Jordan Davis, a 17-year-old from Marietta, Ga.

Dunn apparently asked the teens to turn down their music. A verbal altercation ensued between Dunn and Davis. According to Dunn, Davis pulled out some object that appeared to be a shotgun. Dunn pulled his 9mm gun out of his glove compartment and fired eight or nine times into the car full of young teens. Jordan Davis was killed. Police never found any gun or object that Davis could possibly have used that Dunn would have mistaken for a gun.

Dunn left the scene of the shooting, went back to his hotel with his fiancée and ordered pizza. He never called the police.

Based on these facts, why couldn't a diverse jury find Dunn guilty of murder (rather than attempted murder)? The answer is simple: The law of self-defense in Florida does not require an individual to flee to avoid using lethal force. And, at least two Florida juries have interpreted the law to mean that anytime a young black male is present, the "reasonable fear" requirement (that allows a person to use lethal force) is satisfied.
