Enter Jesse Jackson

Jesse Jackson is a bit of a running joke in Atlanta. If there’s a controversy of any sort, he’s there to lecture the cameras.

The Trayvon Martin shooting has given him a wealth of material to work with. As I warned a few months ago, he’s bringing a lawsuit to repeal OCGA 16-3-23.1, also known as Georgia’s “No Duty to Retreat” statute.

A person who uses threats or force in accordance with Code Section 16-3-21, relating to the use of force in defense of self or others, Code Section 16-3-23, relating to the use of force in defense of a habitation, or Code Section 16-3-24, relating to the use of force in defense of property other than a habitation, has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and use force as provided in said Code sections, including deadly force.

I don’t see how he has standing.
