Seeing the video, I’m close to your position, but not all the way. However, this all started because a busybody hall monitor decided to scold someone else on where they parked. And even worse, that someone was another man’s wife. It’s a well understood bad move to go up and scold another man’s wife. If he catches you, a man should expect trouble.
I don’t have a ton of sympathy for this shooter and wouldn’t care much if he got charged. When you carry, you have a responsibility not to be the manners police or the hall monitor. Or not to do other things that CAUSE trouble.
Yes, because Lord knows, we should let entitled people just park in the handicapped spots even while not handicapped!
Busybodies should just let them get away with murder! Yep, that’s the ticket!

One can both think the shooter should not have scolded the woman for parking illegally and potentially robbing a handicapped person of his ability to get into the establishment, and that the shooter legitimately shot in self-defense.
In my view, I wish the shooter had allowed the thug family to be thugs without the intrusion, but I think to charge him would be a travesty of justice.
This reminds me of the idiot here in Houston from a few years ago who brought his gun onto his neighbor’s front porch to confront him about a loud party. When the neighbor argued with him, he told a 911 operator, “I’m standing my ground,” and shot and killed the neighbor.
He was convicted of murder by two separate Harris County juries (there was an appeal), and was sentenced to life in prison.
While I’m in favor of “stand your ground” laws, I am not at all in favor of the name “stand your ground.” There are too many morons who think the catchy name politicians give to a law is the law itself.
Just because you’re black doesn’t entitle you to park in handicap parking spots in in the fire lane of businesses. If a person are wrong and someone calls Them out on it the response is not violence. If violence is chosen as a response to bad behavior then people can stand their ground. It’s that simple.
Is illegally parking in the handicapped spot a crime? Are you allowed to say something to somebody who is committing a crime? If somebody assaults you in the commission of a misdemeanor just because you said they were committing a misdemeanor how is that being a hall monitor dickhead.
Grow up.
