He is allowing people who have no knowledge of the jury instructions discuss Stand Your Ground laws.
He even criticized Eric Holder for saying the laws need to be change because Chris insisted they were not a part of the trial and verdict.
He is grossly mistaken as we here all know so here is what I sent to MSNBC:


Please, please, please inform Chris Matthews that he is grossly uninformed as well as his guests tonight on the topic of Stand Your Ground laws. The laws were not argued in the case of George Zimmerman, however, in the jury instructions it was explicit that the law was used and referred to. Before SYG laws one claiming self defense had to do everything to avoid using deadly force, the jury was instructed with the new guidelines which state that one claiming self defense had only prove that he was in fear for his life at the time of the altercation. It was painful watching Chris's show tonight with all the ignorant bantering. UGGGGGGGGGGG
