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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
