Do you have any details of the confrontation beside what was in the report at link?

Do you? Specifically anything that might indicate that the shooter was faced with great bodily harm if he didn't use deadly force?

You make my point with all the FR “assumers”.

As to “deadly harm”, for Stand Your Ground that is purely dependent upon the defendant’s perception. Afterwards its the defendant’s responsibility to demonstrate that to a jury.

I have little sympathy for bonehead quickdraw LEO’s, but this is a case of an elderly guy being hit with “something” and then being faced with a threat, all of which put the aggressor texter in an untenable position.

One thing this certainly does is give me more respect for effectiveness of the .380 I carry and maybe will give all the idiotic movie phone users something to think about other than texting a dumbass selfie of themselves at the movie.
