“Individuals in South Carolina should understand that if you employ deadly force to defend yourself or your property, even if you believe you are justified in doing so, you will still likely be arrested. The Stand Your Ground law is complicated and does not function as a “Get Out of Jail Free” card; as a former criminal prosecutor, I would carefully examine each and every case looking for a reason to file criminal charges. Though your actions may fall within the provisions of South Carolina’s Stand Your Ground law, more than likely you’ll be arrested and then would have to retain a criminal attorney to help determine if your actions fall within South Carolina’s Stand Your Ground law.”

Not really sure what that has to do with Murderer’s in Illinois getting out of prison early, folks arrested after entering the Capitol on 06January and being held in solitary confinement being denied access to family and lawyers, and Lindsey Graham saying that the Capitol Police should have sued lethal force against US citizens, but thanks for sharing.

As for what you posted, it seems like some timid RINO/Republican-types drafted a law to appease the masses, made it sound great, but leaves a lot of wiggle room for a prosecutor to do what they want. Typical.
