Problem is that the robber was running away and was no longer a threat to anyone unless he turns and you can’t assume he will.
I can assume he’s running to his next victim.
NOT fleeing, but, moving on.
I agree with the bystander …. the threat was STILL REAL.
Did the perp still have his weapon, when running??
The threat was still real.
“I can assume he’s running to his next victim.”
Assumption is not within the law. The stand your ground laws all have the same theory of use in that if there is no threat, you can’t open fire on them. The shooter shot a fleeing criminal who was no longer a threat. He doesn’t become one until he is making an effort to harm somone.
I don’t make the law, but I do understand what it is saying. And right now before the decision of the court, he shot a fleeing person who was no threat. And that’s not stand your ground.
