If it had been "guy begs for money, gets too aggressive, dude pulls a gun and shoots him," I could believe that he genuinely felt threatened (I could also believe that he didn't and just claimed he did to avoid legal ramifications). If he was able to leave to go to his car and come back, though, he very obviously could have escaped from the situation without shooting the guy, so I don't think he can justify self-defense. The law requires more than just feeling threatened, now in stand your ground states that holds more weight but in states that don't have that you need more than I feel threatened. Proving self defense is a hell of a lot harder than people think unless it's ridiculously obvious. Just because cops get away with casually shooting people doesn't mean that applies to everyone else. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
