First Year Forum and PoliTALK are having a combined meeting this week! Come for discussion on self-defense laws in general, and the particular issues around the Florida case. *********************************** Since the Trayvon Martin case, Stand Your Ground laws in a number of states are under scrutiny. 1. Where should the limits of self defense be? 2. Should there always be a "duty to retreat"? In homes? In public? 3. Do these laws encourage vigilantism? 4. And finally, how does the theory interact with the realities of the Martin case? http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2012/03/21/do-stand-your-ground-laws-encourage-vigilantes<http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2012/03/21/do-stand-your-ground-laws-encourage-vigilantes/what-the-florida-stand-your-ground-law-says> We will tackle these questions and more at this week's PoliTALK. Feel free to drop by to share/hear great conversation. Thursday (April 26) 5:00pm Rocky (Morrison Commons) ***FREE DINNER FROM THE ORIENT***
