Like it or not he is not required by Florida law to leave or retreat. Like it or not he does not have to be wounded, actually struck, or critically wounded to fall under the stand your ground law. All that is necessary is for him to believe that he is being threatened with great and/or grievous bodily harm or death.
I was not there but it is implied in the witness accounts that when the shooter returned that it was the shooting victim who initiated the confrontation not the shooter. If you believe that all of these things you said were right and correct then they were also right and correct for the victim and his wife they should have left and not assaulted another person. At best it is a toss up at that point. It becomes unequal when one of them took it from a verbal confrontation to a physical confrontation. That person was the dead victim. From there it spiraled out of control and turned out very wrong.
When we go to a theater we pay to see everything they put on the screen the movie and the previews. The comments about it being before the movie don't work for me. The warnings about not using electronic devices always come on several times starting before the previews start.
There are many things in this situation that never should have happened. There are many things about this situation we do not know. Were there verbal threats made? What words were spoken or yelled and who was responsible for them? I was not there and I do not know the whole story so I will not act as if I were there and know the facts. I will not rush to judgment based on what the media says or the opinions of those who were not there. Even in other cases where stand your ground laws were found to apply the shooters were first arrested and the legal process started. The finding of SYG came later from a different legal hearing.
The last thing that you are really not going to like is if they find that this shooter is covered under the SYG laws that he is immune from further prosecution under different laws or statutes in Florida. He will walk.
“When we go to a theater we pay to see everything they put on the screen the movie and the previews.”
That’s WHY I don’t go to the theatre. They are more interested in shoving propaganda in my face for 20 minutes and more, than the start the movie on time. Last movie I went to was ‘The Passion of Christ’ and had to sit through inappropriate crap forever until they started the feature.
Previews are like the commercials on TV that everyone takes a leak during.
Detectives looked into whether the shooting could fall under Florida's Stand Your Ground law, but found that the criteria didn't apply.
