    Being from the northeast, I am not a supporter of our more southern states’ obsession with “Stand your Ground” laws. That said, I am impressed that they actually applied this fairly, given the shooter was a black woman and the target was an older white male!

      Even Massachusetts has a version of SYG, but it’s limited to your home and the Castle Doctrine. Self defense is a human right and a single punch can kill a person. I have no problem with a person shooting someone who is making active threats against them and approaching them in a threatening manner. Good shoot. Happy the innocent woman gets to go home and violent thug can’t victimize anymore people because of his fragile ego.

          I’m sure this 12 day old emoji spamming account isn’t a troll trying to instigate drama whatsoever!

            So spreading facts and knowledge is now spreading drama? I’m sorry that I imposed on your echo chamber with a new point of view.

            Here is an emoji that you deserve: 👎

                I feel like I’ve won every single argument so far with basic facts. So far, 99% of this community that I argued with has not taken a basic gun safety class so I have the knowledge to combat the stand your ground hate. This should be an anti-car community, not an anti-gun community!
