USA | On February 24, 2014, Mary Glass, Chair/CEO, Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC, releases the "REPEAL STAND YOUR GROUND - HARM'S WAY Petition Campaign.
===========================================

 Emmett Till, Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis are the three (3) poster teens of why we can never forget, what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said:

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

NOW IS THE TIME for a Repeal of the Stand Your Ground laws in Florida and across the United States of America. Stop the Harm’s Way and lack of equal protection under the law.

Respect-4-Respect Petition is an effort to speak out about the Stand your Ground law specific Harm’s Way effect on African American. WE know it is African Americans, African American teenagers NOW; but, this law will claim other citizenry as time goes by with the same trigger-happy rule-of-thumb. Stand your Ground legally promotes lawlessness, discrimination, stalking, profiling, myths, criminalizing, privilege-to-kill and growing threat of by-design murder. 

The two recent trials in the state of Florida, in-the-court cases, for the death of two African American teenagers, Trayvon Martin, 17 years and Jordan Davis, 17 years proves that the law Stand your Ground is extremely bias and racial in its intent and implementation. It said the teens were automatically guilty even though they were not the perpetrators. It has sent a message of one-side law and privilege of the Caucasian race dictates rights (human-civil-legal) and one can shoot-and-kill without reprisal. 

WE CAN AND MUST DO BETTER THAN THIS.
