South Carolina: Sorry Your Partner Beats You, Too Bad You Can’t Stand Your Ground
South Carolina is one of more than 20 states that has passed an expansive Stand Your Ground law authorizing individuals to use deadly force in self-defense […]
In the cases of women who claim they feared for their lives when confronted with violent intimate abusers, prosecutors say the Stand Your Ground law shouldn’t apply.
This issue is in the news because of the case of Whitlee Jones, a South Carolina woman who stabbed her boyfriend, Eric Lee, to death in 2012. The stabbing was preceded by a violent incident in which Lee dragged Jones down the street by her hair and later blocked her exit when she packed her things and tried to leave their apartment. A judge recently granted Jones Stand Your Ground immunity from a murder charge.
The ruling has upset prosecutors, who are appealing it on the theory that the South Carolina legislature intended Stand Your Ground to apply to people in their own homes against outside intruders, but not against a domestic partner who shares the residence.Which is where most domestic violence takes place. Sorry, victims of domestic violence! Try just sucking it up and taking the beating, we guess.

how did you come by this impression? can you give an example of what you're talking about?
Sure. There was an article in the OP. You might want to try reading it. It's got some useful information.
I see nothing about censorship there.
Is someone stopping you from playing video games you like?
making video games you like?
Censoring games is something the feminists have called for but never got anywhere for obvious reasons.
The censorship in gamergate was going on at the game journalism websites and Reddit.
video games were never censored, but certain websites self-censored? is that the essence of the gripe here?
Yeah, what are gamers ing about here?
That the game journalist websites were censoring their users comments when they ed about Zoey Quinn sleeping with game journalists to get good reviews on her ty game.
As a "gamer", this whole thing is pathetic and embarrassing.
Am I supposed to be surprised that commercial press for commercial products isn't fair and objective (as if any type of press is)?
If clearly sexualidad, stereotypical representations of women in games are so harmless, why are "gamers" going into full meltdowns because some random women barely associated with the industry/community don't like it? Bunch of insecure, en led ing brats. "everyone has to like what I like AND consider it good for everyone or I'm going to have a fit waawaaa". Games are supposed to be for fun. People getting psycho over them are just validating the feminist criticisms as far as I'm concerned.
Hot coffee got censored out of all but the early releases of San Andreas thanks to feminist ing.
the game maker altered its own product in response to public pressure? how is that censorship?
who got hurt by it and how?
If GTA self-censors to conform with prevailing social mores, someone else will pander to the consumers turned off by it.
Maybe censorship isn't the right word since it wasn't enforced by the government. Maybe appeasement of a group that wasn't going to buy the game anyways. The real censorship in this country is on porn, for example, with Max Hardcore.
in Florida, anyway. I doubt there are more than a handful of states that prosecute obscenity anymore.
so much for the myth of women not being gamers and just out to ruin everyone else's fun:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...-of-gamergate/The stereotype of a "gamer" -- mostly young, mostly nerdy and most definitely male -- has never been further from the truth. In the United States, twice as many adult women play video games as do boys, according to the Entertainment Software Association, the industry's top trade group. Male gamers between ages 10 and 25 represent a sliver of the market, only 15 percent, according to Newzoo, a games research firm.
Yet America's 190 million gamers, 48 percent of whom are women...
