I would then take that as one of two ways. A) You haven't been a resident long enough or are rich enough for him to care about, or B) Your opinion on the subject isn't the consensus view of his constituency.

Ms. Darla IMO is leaving out every case in Florida in which someone was able to actively protect their property or their loved ones on this topic. Had she shown in her article all of the data and not just the extremes, and the data would have shown in favor of your view I could have accepted the article as being legitimate. As I see it, the article is her biased view of the topic which appealed to your opinion. IN the article she references a case of a drug dealer getting off for shooting someone in self defense. What she doesn't expound upon is what the circumstances were which led to his acquittal. For all we know he may have been a former convicted drug dealer who has gone the way of legit, and in a case of self defense shot and killed a man threatening him with a weapon.

We all are aware of the slickness of defense attorneys in getting people off on technicalities. We further have a basic comprehension of the hoops cops have to jump through to ensure proper procedure is followed in the investigation, apprehension, and processing of felons just to ensure they do get convicted and not released on a technicality. We are also aware of sloppy police work that has led to acquittals in which people would have otherwise been convicted. There is a plethora of reasons why Darla's examples may have been acquitted for their actions that she is not fully divulging in order to make a case. So based solely on that article I am not convinced of anything other than she has leftist view on the topic.
