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 |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
