We'll see what comes of it. But, if you've seen that video, I don't see how anyone could find it defensible. It was obvious to me, what he was up to.

Ever see that South Park episode where they go around poaching animals, shouting "Oh my God, it's headed right for us!" just before they shoot?
That's what this video looked like to me. Like our man already hated this noisey neighbor (And who can blame him for that.) and went over there looking for an excuse to shoot the guy.

Geez.

I haven't seen the video but I trust your interpretation of it.

I wonder if any of these folks would have still acted if there weren't a Stand Your Ground law. I'm inclined to believe that the law is not operative in any of these cases.

Other than these murderous sons of bitches feeling empowered by these misbegotten laws? That I would agree to.

Did you watch the video of the Texas incident? While I agree that the Florida incident may not have had anything to do with SYG, the Texas incident almost certainly did.

Right. Let them get the notion in their heads that they can kill someone and get away with it, so long as they claim they "felt endangered" and watch what happens...

Oooops, too late. This is already happening.

That guy is stupid. What takes precedence - castle law or stand your ground? I guarentee it's castle law. We'll see.

I'll go by castle law whether it's 'legal' or 'not'.

Is the issue stupid people?

"Yes."

Would there still be stupid people without handguns?

"Yes."

Would they be able to SHOOT anyone?

That's my point.

What about us smart fellers?

Or do we ration base levels of freedom on the lowest denominator?

I suppose it depends if you smart enough to know the difference between your neighbor's driveway and your own home with respect to the castle doctrine.
