Now can we convince them to forbid their names to be spoken or words to be printed or images to be shown as well?
From Huffington Post:
"A number of top-level celebrities are reportedly following in Stevie Wonder's footsteps and plan to boycott Florida in protest of the state's "Stand Your Ground" laws. The list, which was first reported by AURN's April Ryan and credited a "a source close to Wonder," includes the likes of Madonna, Usher, Kanye West, Jay Z, Rihanna and Rod Stewart."
Of course, anyone who is not willfully ignorant about, well, just about everything, but in this case various state laws on self-defense, knows...and as noted by Cam Cameron on NRA News...if these "superstars" are going to boycott states with SYG laws, then they are going to have less than half of the states to make money in.
Also from Huffington Post:
"Florida is not the only state with "Stand Your Ground" laws on its books -- at least 23 other states have similar provisions providing varying degrees of legal protection to those who use force in perceived self-defense."
Most estimates put it at more like 31 states. But, anyway, you get the idea.
Especially when at least a few of these self-important "superstars" do more to model how to behave like a jackass and to promote violence than any law on the books.
