Musician Stevie Wonder has vowed to stay out of Florida until the state repeals its "stand your ground" law.
The law allows people to
meet "force with force" if they believe they or someone else is in
danger of being seriously harmed by an assailant.
"I decided today that
until the 'stand your ground' law is abolished in Florida, I will never
perform there again," Wonder told the audience at a concert in Quebec on
Sunday night (July 14, 2013). "As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I
will not perform in that state or in that part of the world."
The 2012 shooting death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin by
neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman raised awareness and
outrage about the law. MORE HERE
