Civil rights activists took to the streets of Tallahassee Monday to march against what they called “unjust” stand-your-ground laws at a rally joined by the families of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis outside the Florida State Capitol.

“Florida is ground zero for a sick and wicked law,” Rev. Al Sharpton said during the rally, where he joined Florida Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown and National Organization for Women President Terry O’Neill.

“To have a law that says that if you think you are threatened–doesn’t have to be an actual threat–but if you think you are threatened, you have no obligation to retreat and you can use deadly force, means that we have now legislated in this state and over 20 other states, that our children can be killed based on the imagination of someone,” Sharpton said. “That is an unjust and wicked law.”  […]

National Organization for Women President Terry O’Neill specifically focused on Alexander’s case during her remarks, launching a strong attack on Corey, Florida’s state attorney, for what she described as a “racist and misogynistic interpretation” of the law. Corey prosecuted Alexander’s case, along with those of Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis’ killers, and has taken heat in recent weeks after the revelation that Alexander faces a possible 60-year sentence.
