Eh, the person getting shot shoved the man and was parking in the wrong spot. I'm trying not to side with the shooter, but it's not easy.

Sheriff Bob Gualtieri: Clearwater shooting fits 'Stand Your Ground'
Eh, the person getting shot shoved the man and was parking in the wrong spot. I'm trying not to side with the shooter, but it's not easy.
Watch the video the shooter is confronting the mans girlfriend/wife so the victim runs up and shoved this psychopath away from her. I would do the same thing in the same situation to defend the person I love. Once the man is on the ground the victim doesn't escalate it, he steps away. There's no excuse in the world that could make any sense.
That's fucked up
you absolutely were
Well. Victim was black. I can already see the not-guilty verdict.

The shoving is the least offense. It's illegal parking. I've dreamed of blowing up the cars I see who park fucked up. Actually shooting a person over it is too much, but damn does it piss me off to see it.
Didn't stand your ground not apply to the woman who fired warning shots when her abusive ex showed up at her house?
Is there a "whiteness clause" in stand your ground?
Excuse me, this would have not happened in a lot of third world countries, all of them lacking a "stand your ground" law in the first place.
yeah getting pushed to the ground definitely calls for an on the spot extrajudical execution in front of the child. The shooter must be your heroEh, the person getting shot shoved the man and was parking in the wrong spot. I'm trying not to side with the shooter, but it's not easy.

what an amazing country
This is probably the same clown that tells ppl to be civil when I black person is the aggressor good thing you got banned with that dumbass opinionWho cares about the pushing? I already said the crime was parking in the illegal spot. Shooting the man was unjustified, however the driver deserved to be berated and at the very least have his car towed away. A beat down would've been in order not execution. The driver should've accepted he committed a henious act and bowed his head in shame.
Will probably happen, it is the perfect vigilante law. Just provoke him, he touches you and you execute him.The nightmare endpoint of this law is that someone shoots this guy upon seeing him and uses this incident as justification.
"I had to shoot him, before he Stand Your Grounded me"
Nah, you can't justify this killing in any shape or form. Even if the driver hit him with fists there was no reason to basically execute him in front of his family.If he would have advanced after that and went to get on top of him it would have been fully justified. But the guy backed off after the assault so it went from being an assault to unjustified shooting
This what happens when a consortium of retailers write your laws word for word. This is the handiwork of the Koch backed ALEC.
Stand Your Ground was introduced in the Florida legislature in December, 2004. Though no one realized it at the time, it would become the N.R.A.'s most controversial law. "Marion was the ringmaster," Dan Gelber, who later served as the House Democratic minority leader, said. "It was her circus. She was telling everyone where to go and what hoops to jump through." Before Stand Your Ground, Americans were forbidden to use force in potentially dangerous public situations if they had the option of fleeing. The new law removed any duty to retreat, justifying force so long as a shooter "reasonably" believed that physical harm was imminent. It was a radical break with legal tradition. Now a person's subjective feelings of fear were grounds to shoot someone even if there were other options available.
Could America have a referendum on the 2nd amendment rights like how Ireland did recently for abortion?
Just a big vote to get it removed/keep it.
No. If he brandished the gun it would have been illegal.I would never bother with someone like that, just carry on with my day. Not trying to be some psycho's victim.
I hope people protest and Drejka winds up in jail. Being shoved to the ground is no excuse to kill a man. Brandishing the gun would've sufficed, but giving the guy no time to react and blasting him is NOT self defense. Florida is fucked up.
Are you insane?Who cares about the pushing? I already said the crime was parking in the illegal spot. Shooting the man was unjustified, however the driver deserved to be berated and at the very least have his car towed away. A beat down would've been in order not execution.

It is. As a Canadian - and a trans woman, at that - I'm scared to even fly OVER America, let alone set foot in it.
