First, I was calling the editorial writer a jackass, not the poster. Obviously, you're not too familiar with the ways and protocols of FReeping.
Who I am is someone who knows a little something about firearms, that doesn't trot out imagination and speculation, then illegitimately claim it an "opinion."
Opinion presumes you know something about that which you opine.
The reason I "launched" on you is because you not only presumed to choose my verbage for me, but also draw conclusions based on a superficial knowledge of the subject matter as if you actually knew what you were talking about.
For example, a retreating threat is not "neutralized"; an incapacitated threat is neutralized. Do they not have the concept of "turning around" where you come from?
Florida is not a "duty to retreat" state. As such, when involved in a deadly force encounter, the intelligent procedure is to continue firing until the threat is no longer able to fight, not until the threat retreats. Only a moron or a lawyer would advise ceasing fire on a clearly mobile threat you've already shot!
Obviously, you are guilty of everything you are throwing against me. Or, you did not see the last footage of the scene I am talking about.
Both perps were running AWAY. Now, I don't know how you imagine that to be a threat, but I know if he had shot one of them IN THE BACK, he would have been arrested.
Obviously, you think otherwise. Well, that's fine with me. You behave that way if you want, but don't be surprised if you end up in prison.
Stand your ground does not mean you can shoot a fleeing perp.
