Get thee to the greatest page right fugging NOW!!!

Thank you Senator! I will kick and Rec each and every time this passionate woman is posted! A hero when and where we need her!!!!

I hope this clip gets lots of media attention!!!

I'm a proud Arkansan today!!! I wish everyone could see her passion and bravery! She stood up and she spoke truth. My Hero

Pasty Republican: "Senator. You need to stop."

Flowers: "No I don't. What are you going to do, SHOOT me?"

Man, that whole video was like honey to my ears. I so crave that kind of eloquent passion from my representatives. Flowers is brilliant.

March On, Ms. Flowers!

Thanks, Ms. Flowers!!

I wanted my subject line to speak to anyone just browsing through, skimming topics of possible interest.

This is the most exceptional video clip I've watched in a long time. Amazing. Just so powerful. I was in tears by the end. Wow.

I love this woman!

And I bet she actually changes a few things in Arkansas!

The supernatural part of that article reduced me to tears! I really appreciate you telling me about it!

Here is a chilling excerpt from the Wikipedia article.

We need so many more people just like her in this country! It's time to take back our country from the NRA.

What a powerful statement. Kudos to her.

The absolute scalding fury behind her words. Government needs passionate people like this.

You go Queen. Tell those hicks how it is. Don't let them silence you with this stand your ground bullshit.

And that is what democracy should look like.

AMAZING!

since MLK. OMG, what passion. But we, as white people, will NEVER understand what it is like to BE BLACK in AMERICA. It is scary. I'm still shaking from the fierceness of this verbal rant. I have never heard of Senator Stephanie Flowers before today. I will not forget her.

Chills. Tears.

that the legislators who present and advance these laws can’t be charged with manslaughter.

That stand your ground biz works both ways.

A black person asserting stand your ground is MUCH more likely to end up in jail, unlike a white person.

But unfortunately, a dead person can't assert much of anything.

Been some great 'fighting back' news coming out today, between Cunningham and the Bullhorn, and the Al Jazeera interview of Prince ... this is how we need to be addressing these RW assholes, man.

LOVE THIS!!!

I am very ashamed of my state for starting this stand your ground shit which is just code for white people can kill blacks and get away with it. I am not aware of one single black person using this law and getting out of shooting a white person or whwere a woman has been vindicated for killing a man because of these white men protection laws. It's just damn disgusting the state of things in America these days, I am ashamed of my state and most of the country.

She is forcefully saying what needs to be said. I stand with her in that people who open carry cause me to feel fear! I come from a hunting family. I have shot guns, both long guns and hand guns. I have never felt the need to carry a gun in public, ever in my 75 years here. In the past 2 years I have contemplated getting a gun on more than one occasion and that disturbs me as well. Thank you Sen. Stephanie Flowers for saying what needs to be said and "standing your ground" while doing so!

Very powerful and moving. She said what I feel. She is right about the so-called "stand your ground" laws, really Kill With Impunity laws. NRA and ALEC should be 1) ashamed 2) vacated. Time for silence is OVER. Thank you, Sen. Flowers!

Send this bad ass lady to the US Senate.

AND THE BILL WAS DEFEATED!!!!!

Thank you, Sen. Flowers!

when copying your perfect response - FUCKING A!

👍🏼

Even their white children.

What chance does a black or brown person have? None. Zero. These stand your ground bullshit laws are nothing more than a reinstatement of the code of the "wild west" - shoot first, ask questions later.

If you felt threatened in any way you're good to go. As long as your flesh is white.

We all need to speak out against these heinous legislative proposals. Ms. Flowers obviously had an impact on the vote. I am so sorry that she and other people of color need to be so defensive about this matter.

I want this to stop.
No more Stand Your Ground. #endgunviolence
