<br />
Monique Bastos is a mixed martial arts fighter who dished out a serious beat-down on a whining thief who thought he'd get off easy by targeting a 115 pound woman...<br />
<br />
Monique was on her way to a jiu-jitsu class in Acailandia when a robber tried to steal her phone but once she knew they were not armed, she made him scream for mercy.<br />

<br />
Most folks don't know of Florida's "10-20-LIFE" law that requires a minimum sentence of 10 years if a firearm is used or displayed during a crime, 20 years if the gun is fired, and a 20 years to life sentence if someone is injured in the shooting...<br />
<br />
Although the NRA supported this law in 1998 when it was passed, concern over potential abuse, the ability to apply the law to those who use a firearm in self-defense, Marion Hammer has been quoted as saying, "We never would have supported a bill that would allow prosecutors to prosecute someone acting in self-defense."<br />

The latter will be tested in Buffalo for the shooting of Robert Moore, 19, and Bernard Byrd III, 21, both under arrest for robbery in the 1st degree, who were both shot wounded on the night of December 29th, 2013.<br />

George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.<br />
<br />
George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin on February 26th 2012 with no charges being filed. By March 8th, a petition to get police to pay closer attention to the case was put together and would go on to have 2.2 million signatures by March 26th. Zimmerman was arrested in April of 2012 and on June 24th, 2013, is trial began and ultimately found him not guilty of 2nd murder and manslaughter.
The video below is the reading of the verdict in the Zimmerman trial:

<br />
<br />

Jodi Arias and Travis Alexander<br />
<br />
Jodi Arias used what jurors would later call a "so non plausible" self defense argument in while on trial for the 2008 killing of Travis Alexander. The video below is the reading of the verdict in the Arias trial:<br />

<br />
3.<br />
Marissa Alexander and Rico Gray<br />
<br />
Marissa Alexander's case involved her sentencing in 2012 to a 20 year prison sentence for killing her husband with what was described as a 'warning shot' in self defense. Although many in law enforcement may take for granted the fact that there's no such thing as a defensive 'warning shot' it does appear that Marissa will have another chance as she's been <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/28/marissa-alexander-released-florida-stand-your-ground" target="_blank">released on bond</a> after being granted a retrial.<br />
<br />

4.<br />
Theodore Wafer and Renisha McBride<br />
<br />
Theodore Wafer appeared in court just before Christmas 2013 facing charges of 2nd degree murder, manslaughter, and a felony firearms charge. Wafer is accused of shooting McBride from a distance of 3 feet through a screen door wbere McBride may have approached to seek help after being the driver in a DUI related accident with a parked vehicle. Wafer's attorney is already telegraphing that a self-defense strategy will be used by making public statements about Wafer's 'waking up to violent banging on the door of his house' where he thought a person or persons were trying to gain entry into the front and side doors.<br />
<br />
The video below, is of the short 911 call where Theodore Wafer states that he shot someone on his porch with a shotgun:<br />
