OK, I bothered to look. You seem to be a solid freeper, so I’ll spend a little time educating you about “stand your ground.” Short version: It simply means you don’t have a duty to retreat if you REASONABLY believe that you are in danger of serious bodily injury or death. Rather, you can stand your ground and defend yourself. It’s an affirmative defense, and if push comes to shove, you must prove the REASONABLENESS of your belief in the threat. Just like with plain old self-defense, you must REASONABLY believe that your are in danger before defending yourself.
I’d say Zimmerman getting his head bounced off the cement ground like a basketball means he was actually in the process of getting his azz kicked and he couldn’t have retreated if he wanted to, hence “stand your ground” doesn’t even come into it.
/THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. I’m not a lawyer, I’m just up to speed on 2A issues. The entire point of the LSM and race pimps bringing “stand your ground” into this is so they can attack our rights. See my tag...
OK thanks! Finally someone explains this. The MSM (or from the crap I read) makes it out to be some kind of a “shoot person” free card or something which seemed insane to me. They kept using and are still using that word “feel”...”If you feel your life is in danger”..Then of course they connect it to Repubs. and the NRA. “Oh they can shoot anyone they feel like shooting”.
Excellent tag BTW...That’s exactly what is going on in this case.
