What the WSJ can’t or won’t get is that the laws surrounding “justifiable homicide” exist to protect normally law-abiding people forced to defend their own/others live through no fault of their own. If lawyers for some thugs and criminals misuse “stand your ground” laws, etc., to get their clients off, that is the price the rest of us pay for the right to defend ourselves from attack. Legislators need to fine tune the laws to limit misuse, while preserving the self-defense rights of the innocent.
In most circumstances, Leftists and what used to be “liberals” embrace “better a hundred guilty go free than one innocent man be convicted wrongly”. Somehow, when someone has to defend their own life from an aggressor, they reverse their position. Because deep down they sympathize with criminals, and want law-abiding people to be helpless against them. “Why?” is ineffable.
“Why?” is ineffable.
Essentially, it is different assumptions about the nature of reality.
If you believe police cause crime, and criminals are “victims of the system”, you can easily believe civilians shooting criminals is a bad thing.
In addition to having to show a weapon, just carrying one and being alert will discourage many criminals looking for an easy target.
A 60 year old CCW lady walking and ALERT to her surroundings (because of some training) might be a harder target than a college lineman walking with his head in his phone.

What good is self-defense if you “can’t get away with it”? Might as well just go ahead and die. That’s what the writer probably wants to happen any way (if you are white), as the odds are that the perpetrator is going to be a black guy who only wants your stuff.
