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 |
[The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
