The comment about rights being eroded away What do you mean? That sounds like the agenda of FAKE news that has been coming to light and the agenda that caught fire perpetuating more lies; Like the Handsup! Don’t Shoot! LIE that fueled riots and more lies that has caused an endangerment to our police officers and citizens. Our rights are not eroded. That cry is false and down right dangerous.
Criminals need to be stopped, the justice system needs to be tough and the crazy agenda to soften that stance must go!!!! Stand My Ground!!!

I am so tired of people constantly challenging our rights and waddling them away.

Yes, the burden of proof should be on the prosecutor, ESPECIALlY on these cases. Good call Republican Rob Bradley SB 128. The NRA also advises that one keeps their calm when they call 911 if they have had the unfortunate need to exercise thier right of self defense. Perhaps say:

“Man down,– WE are willing to co operate but that is all I have to say at this time. WE are the homeowners and WE feared for OUR LIVES and yes that is OUR gun.” and yes WE are OK. I am going to remain silent now, yet cooperate.”

Stand your ground self-defense cases are the only ones where the “accused” bears the burden to prove their innocence. In every other action, the time-tested and revered axiom of “innocent until proven guilty” places the burden of proof on the prosecution.

The Florida Supreme Court has for years been on the wrong side of the Constitution. To put the burden of proof on a citizen needs to be as intended, on the state.
This needs to be corrected asp.
