Stand Your Ground' has caused massive cancellations of musical entertainment acts (gun owners, work)

Does it even matter that this wasn't even a stand your ground case?


Probably not....the left never lets facts get in the way of their manipulation and temper tantrums.

now, if you add all those ticket sales up you are talking billions!

Justin timberlake 20/20 vision tour was due to kick off in miami - he canceled and he quoted:

"i refuse to entertain a state who's government allows people to shoot-n-kill un-armed teenagers!"

Oh, that is not all that bad.

Harrier thought that it might be a list of artists and bands that people actually listened to.

I'd post the video but.... you know.

Good album. Didn't like either of their latest too much.

I can't see one person there I would miss not come to my state and in fact some I'd soon not come.

[Kamsack]

Is there a reason some people still think that list is true?

Can you say lawsuit and damages ? They should have contracts.

Sounds like a BS story to me.

My thoughts precisely. And if they reneged on a signed contract not only would they be sued, and successfully at that, but who'd do business with them in the future? What fake, phony, fraudulent posturing might they indulge themselves in next time?

Here's the dictionary.com definition of armed:

armed [ahrmd] Show IPA

adjective
1. bearing firearms; having weapons: a heavily armed patrol.

Yes, I fully realize that the term "armed" *can* infer firearms; however, as you can see by the DEFINITION OF THE TERM it's not limited to JUST firearms.

You have yet to explain to me how I'm in denial and about what I'm in denial of.

What's wrong with the Rolling Stones, and I doubt their fan base is mostly Blacks.

LMFAO indeed.

That's it- I am not taking my guitar to that designated corner in Miami to busk.....the gig is off...Those horrible people in Florida can keep their quarters.
