"Stand Your Ground"

[saulteux]

How do you decide who is the bad guy? Is it the guy who disregards police reccomendations and chases down the kid? Or is it the kid with the skittles that flees and is interrogated in the dark rainy night? Neither? Both? One (which one).

Hypothetically, if the shootee had been a few years older, had his permit and had been carrying, he might be alive today and have Florida's law on his side.

Or better yet, if justice was actually SERVED, e.g. violent offenders were actually fried in the electric chair, thieves actually paid back what was stolen, etc, there wouldn't be a perceived need for vigilantism.
