To refresh memories – this is the Florida woman who was prosecuted for shooting into the ceiling to try to protect herself from an abusive ex. She was not allowed to use Stand Your ground, because we all know by now that law is only for white (or white passing) men to get away with killing people of color.
In other words, sign the motherfucker, ok?
Yes exactly.
Because shooting into the ceiling in self-defense while you’re in fear for your life means you deserve 20 years in prison.
Wait…no. NO. This isn’t right. Let’s help her, everyone. Seriously. Sign the petition. It’s not right that she be punished for trying to protect herself (and at the ceiling! as a warning shot!) while her husband (who admitted to being abusive, by the way) was threatening her life.
SIGN THIS FUCKING PETITION OKAY?!?!
I’ve been watching the petition’s progress and it’s pretty dismal. So I’ll be reblogging again and again in order to get the word out. Please help signal boost. I don’t think any of us wants to see someone defending herself against a real, immediate threat to her life go to jail for firing a warning shot at the ceiling.
I mean for fuck’s sake the NRA boys are foaming at the mouth about their right to have their guns but a woman uses a gun to shoot at the ceiling to protect herself? Nooo, she has to go to prison for two decades!
Please. Sign the petition. Signal boost and tell your followers to sign it too. Let’s get this number way, way, way up.
Do it.
