Stand your ground laws do not give one permission to shoot someone. All they do is give victims the right to defend themselves from attack without having to defend themselves a second time from the criminal justice system.

The victim in the Clearwater incident was on the ground and could not retreat if he wanted to. The dead guy was shot because he assaulted the victim and was intent on causing additional harm. He didn't stop until the victim produced a gun and defended himself.
It is interesting that the liberals would take the side of a convicted felon who chose to attack a weaker person primarily because the victim defended himself with a gun (or maybe because a white person killed a colored person.) They completely ignore the facts. |

What purile leftist poppycock. Newsflash: In the immediacy of a violent potentially lethal attack, the law (pursuant to natural law itself) vests life-and-death authority in the victim.
This asinine rhetoric about being “judge, jury and executioner” is a holographic tiger, real only in the sense that its disingenuous projection makes it appear so.
Whenever jackwagons like these guys spew this nonsense, they should be emphatically admonished to shut up. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
