But you can’t point a gun at a person who is unarmed, even if they did hit the back of your car.
So they are probably going to get convicted of this.
He was an idiot for doing that. But the drama queen black and her daughter started it. I honestly wouldn’t convict if on that jury.
>So they are probably going to get convicted of this.
I don’t understand why the husband was indicted.
Also, the woman appeared pregnant, so she’s got that going for her, which is nice.
“ But you can’t point a gun at a person who is unarmed, even if they did hit the back of your car.

Sadly, I agree with you. I can imagine the couple was afraid and did not want to fight. They likely pulled the gun in an effort to de escalate the situation. I doubt they would have fired if the aggressor had retreated. Would a fist fight have been better?
Actually, you can.
BDL was engaging in criminal imprisonment at the least.
You are totally justified to point your weapon at such a person and, if they do not move or attempt to advance on you, you are justified in shooting them.
That is the law.
that is a stand your ground state- the person threatening doesn’t have to be armed for soemoen to defend themselves I believe- they only have to believe they will be injured or worse—
Stand Your Ground Laws are often expansions of the Castle Laws. They address the use of force outside of one’s home, place of work, or vehicle.
“Michigan’s Stand Your Ground Under Michigan’s Self-Defense Act there is no duty to retreat from any place where the person has the right to be. The use of deadly force is legal if the person believes it is necessary to prevent bodily injury or death.”

“But you can’t point a gun at a person who is unarmed...”
Would depend on the state. I think they’d be OK in Arizona, but don’t know about Michigan. Probably best to call the cops instead. But if I was on the jury.....
Well, that was not a time to draw a gun, no matter how you slice that.
They are going to be punished, no getting around it.
So according to the law pregnant woman should have taken the ass beating because melanin?
It's very clear what happened after the initial confrontation (which we don't know).
They had an argument and the black lady was walking in the parking lot and thus she has the right of way - that's the law. The other's backed into her and she hit their car. White lady jumped out and pulled her gun as did the husband (you can see that at 1:48). They are going to get convicted - this is a no-brainer and the current climate of things has nothing to do with it. If it was white on white - I would want the exact same justice.
Doesn’t sound like that’s the law there though.
I suspect you’re correct. They did not seem in imminent danger of death. They should have called the police immediately and left. The lady had no intention of using the weapon only using it as a threat. The black bigots need their attitudes adjusted as they clearly were spoiling for a confrontation. If the white lady had meant to use the weapon you have two dead black bigots and a white lady whose an idiot charged for murder. The two bigots will cross the wrong person one day and whoa unto them.
The black woman should have been arrested for terroristic threats and harassment.
