Stand Your Ground' has caused massive cancellations of musical entertainment acts (England, Florida)

[HappyTexan]

So far it's just the threat of cancellations.

Organizers said the 8/16 concert is still on.
None of the celebrities in the list have made statements.
So far all these "cancellations" are coming from Stevie Wonder and his close sources.

Read a little further into the thread. Its a BS trolling post.
Thread should have been closed once the trolling was outed instead of 18 pages of bickering

Jay Z, Kanye, Madonna Join Stevie Wonder's Florida Boycott In Wake Of Zimmerman Verdict (REPORT, UPDATES)

I don't like that stand your ground law either. It brings in confrontation as a tool. If one can get away , they should consider that option first.

The stand your ground law has no connection to the Martin case as Zimmerman was held on the ground and couldn't run away or defray the violence.

Well, that's their prerogative.

it wont last. what will happen is that someone will set up a concert in florida, and invite those people making them an offer they cant refuse, probably 15% more money than they would normally get, and those poeple now saying that they wont perform in florida will sign up to perform in florida, thus showing just what hypocrites they truly are.

[Tilt11]

Hell, it is we who should be boycotting them. Let them boycott. Who is going to miss them? Most of them are hypocritical and trashy anyways. In fact, it'll probably do some people some good that they can't waste their money seeing these hacks.

While you're all at it, please boycott my state too. I want you here even less than you want to support our rights to defend ourselves

Those are artists in an industry, not an entire industry. Also, that's their choice. Personally I could care less.

[HappyTexan]

The concert organizers say the concert is still on for 8/16 in Florida.
And none of the entertainers listed have made statements.

All this "rumor" is coming from Stevie Wonder and his friends.

No, that's Bobby Brown. No word on if he's boycotting.
