Because that's the law in Florida. I'm sure glad Texas just adopted the same standards for self defense as Florida.
“After robbing the store, the men turned to Lovell.”
I just love how the journalist, a person whose profession claims to attend to stating facts, not hiding them, chooses to describe armed robbers as having “turned to” their victim. We can all picture what this means: after getting the cash, they pointed their weapons at their next victim. Omission of the weapons allows the reader to question the morality of the Marine’s shooting.
One could even go further and say this was a way of putting concealed carry permitees in a worse light, for the armed robbers only stole. The CCW holder killed people who had just "turned" to him. Never mind that had this reporter been the one they just "turned to", she would have feared for her life and maybe even been tempted to write a tearful story about how police must "get guns off the street".
Savage is right: Liberalism is a mental disorder.
