There isn't a investigation? Of course there is a ongoing investigation. But ignorent people believe the media's hype and insinuations that nothing is being done.
Stand your ground law is rediculous? I live in a country where it is my right to defend myself from being murdered, robbed, raped etc. The stand your ground law simply reinforces this right. Again, ignorent people believe the media hype that this law is wrong. Before this law came alone in order to not be charged for murder if you killed someone who broke into your house you had to show proof that you tried to flee from that burgler and only resorted to lethal force when you could not escape. In other words if someone broke into your house you had a legal obligation to flee your own house and not defend it.
Again, ignorent people are the media's target audience.

"Former state Sen. Durell Peaden and current state Rep. Dennis Baxley say the law they passed in 2005 was designed to protect citizens by giving them the right to ?meet force with force.?
Both men say they don?t know all the facts of Trayvon's case. But, they say they believe the law would not allow a person like George Zimmerman to pursue and confront a person like Trayvon and then use deadly force. Zimmerman has not been charged.
?They got the goods on him. They need to prosecute whoever shot the kid,? said Peaden, a Crestview Republican who sponsored the deadly force law in 2005. ?He has no protection under my law.?
