Description
(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Since Biblical times, self defense has been simple. Guard your castle. Retreat to the wall. Defend yourself. The U.S. stole its common law from the English, and the elements of self defense didn't change. Until.......Florida. Why did Florida change its slogan from the Sunshine State to the Kill At Will State? Aren't Stand Your Ground Laws a good thing? How old is the Castle Doctrine? Whose castle is it anyway? Reb lowers the drawbridge on the madness and teaches you all the wheres and whens and hows on who is really allowed to "defend" themselves. **CONTENT WARNING** Racial violence and violence against women and children. 0:00 - Content Warning 2:24 - Intro 8:08 - Trayvon Martin/Michael Brown/Tamir Rice 10:07 - Philando Castile 15:00 - People v.
