Conservative Extremists try to spin, and then just lie, about racial differences under Kill at Will statutes

According to Opposing Views reporting on the crazy extremist right wing nut jobs (RWNJs for short) over at the Daily Caller, black people benefit more than white people from Shoot First/Kill at Will/ 'Stand Your Ground' laws.

Except of course, they don't. The opposite is true.

But we have the RWNJs over at the Daily Caller cherry picking information so as to misrepresent the data. It is just one more example of conservative lying, in this case with statistics; the more their position fails, the less plausible their arguments and data, the more the right resorts to up is down, left is right, red is blue, inside is outside arguments.

This is a better, more accurate, honest, fair and damning analysis, from FBI statistics, of how Kill at Will laws really work, reflecting the enormously disparate outcomes, based on race.  The reality is that under our normal laws, there is disparity; change those laws to Stand Your Ground laws, and that disparity becomes much much greater disfavoring people of color, and disproportionately favoring white people.
