In the wake of the George Zimmerman acquittal, the singer said he would not be performing in the Sunshine State until its Stand Your Ground law is "abolished." He also said he would not be performing in any other state that recognizes the law, which some say contributed to Zimmerman's acquittal in the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012. ------ "I decided today that until the Stand Your Ground law is abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again," Wonder said Sunday while performing in Quebec City. "As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world."
Some have argued that the law played no role in the acquittal. However, The Atlantic's Ta-Nehisi Coates pointed out that it was cited in the jury instructions.
Meanwhile, Wonder also called for his fans' support of his boycott.

Nobody under 40 would be interested in seeing him in concert anyhow,so his career is basically over. And since he is blind,it's not hard to figure out why he doesn't carry a gun himself.
I'm betting his bodyguards are armed,though. Somebody needs to ask him about that.

He wouldn't know if he has been there or not if nobody told him.

Well, that's TRUE !!
Wouldn't it be funny if his handlers told him he was going to Montreal,and took him to Tampa,instead?
