Interesting article on stand your ground in FL

The Daily Caller has reported that “Black Floridians have made about a third of the state’s total ‘Stand Your Ground’ claims in homicide cases, a rate nearly double the black percentage of Florida’s population. The majority of those claims [55 percent] have been successful, a success rate that exceeds that for Florida whites.” So, as blacks seem to be benefiting from the ability to defend themselves outside their homes, is the president simply practicing political opportunism by using a crisis to push his preferred policies? The president says racial profiling is to blame, but the facts show that most blacks killed today are killed by other blacks (93% of the time).

These numbers are news to for me. Anyone ever see them before? I'll have to take a look to see if they are real.
