The Daily Show returned last night, and interim host John Oliver had a bone to pick with Florida in the wake of the George Zimmerman verdict. The problem, he said: "The system worked exactly as it's designed. How does 2013 Florida have a law that seems cut and pasted from 1881 Tombstone?"
In Florida, Oliver noted, "you can get a gun, follow an unarmed minor," have police "explicitly tell you to stop following them," then "keep following the minor, get into a confrontation with them, and if at any point during that process, you get scared, you can shoot the minor to death." Oliver's conclusion: "I think it might honestly be time for the Sunshine State to officially change its motto"—to "the Worst State." (In other Zimmerman news, Juror B37 speaks out.)
