'Cause I doubt the laws are going away anytime soon.

FFS. I'm pretty sure this was a flat out murder. The neighbors never got close and at least one of 'em (the visible one, who's the dude who died, I think) had his hands up.

No way in hell is this going to fly for "stand your ground," but, marginally related.

My impression is that Rodriguez thought that saying the magic words "I fear for my life, I will defend myself" would cover his ass and allow him to get away with shooting people.

When my friend took her concealed carry class, she said that basically all the guys in the class wanted to know when they could shoot someone. Seriously.

Ditto. Especially since the (visible) dude had his hands up in the air for most of the video (iirc, anyway).

Trying to tell what happened at the very end of the video...  It's possible that some of the guys got sick of having a gun waved in their faces and tackled the idiot.  He may argue that, because they lay hands on him, first, he was defending himself... nevermind that THEY were defending themselves from a gun-wielding moron.

The whole interpretation of the "stand your ground" law as meaning that you can accost someone with a gun and if they try to protect themselves, or even simply fail to flee, you have a right to shoot them without consequences, really really needs to be addressed. Whatever they're teaching in their gun licensing classes is clearly very flawed.

If you leave your property with a gun and approach someone with it, it seems pretty cut and dried that they are reasonable in feeling threatened and in responding as such. if you then use that gun on them, it's not self-defense. If I pull a knife on you, will you feel threatened? If I then stab you, is it self-defense, when I'm the one who initiated the threat of violence? Certainly not. How these people think it could be is beyond me.

Totally agreed, Nigel.

My mom lives in Indiana.  I had her boyfriend attempt to defend that law to me.  Points for keeping my temper.

I can't see the video from this comp, but my impression of the "stand your ground" laws is that it's okay to shoot Brown people.  Brown people may NOT use that law, because there are endangerment laws that contradict the stand your ground law, and THOSE will be employed.

So:

Black woman with a gun:  Endangerment.

White man with a gun:  Stand Your Ground.

Brown man shoots brown man:  Who had more money?
