Push punch its all a physical assult on a person that can be deadly.

 

Anybody that would shoot somebody for pushing them down is softer than doctors cotton. That’s embarrassing.

By the fact the pusher stepped back and did not close distance. In fact he doesn’t make any more hostile moves to the guy. The immediate threat is over and the guy shoots the pusher.

He’s a big bad wanna-be. They are vocal and loud, but only dangerous with a gun. Now those people have a law to back them up.

Has this law been constitutionally challenged in Court?

On what grounds? Its intent is self-defense.

 

The question here is whether the shooting in this particular case can be reasonably justified. Just because someone uses the law as a legal defense does not mean that this law was followed by the shooter. He may still be indicted.

Not really.

Spotlight is certainly on Florida for precedent.

Obviously the dude was mad that they parked in a handicap spot. What was the dude's handicap? Getting pushed to the ground like that seemed rather aggressive. Not saying the shooting was justified because it was obvious that the aggressor was backing away. This just seems like a really hard case to prove just because interpretation of the law seems to side with the shooter.

 

I feel incredibly bad for the dude who got killed.

 

Father at church the other day gave an excellent homily on compassion. I wish that both could have shown compassion for one another in this situation but obviously that wasn't the case on both ends.

Thought the Trevon Martin case was the precedent?

I don’t think that is the question.

 

The question is did the reaction match the threat?

 

I agree, I say no it didn't.

How does the shooter know hes not going to attack him again?

 

I guess he doesnt, but that doesn't give him the right to shoot IMO. From all I'm seeing and hearing this is not a justified shooting. Seems more like murder.

For Stand Your Ground? Who was standing their ground in that case?

Not really.

Yeah, really. This guy threatened to shoot another guy who parked in the same spot. The guy that shoved him was not moving toward him and he shot him anyway. The police aren’t charging him. This is a tough guy wanna-be who has a law that allows him to do this.

See what Deuce wrote, two different scenarios.

Google "Tampa Bay Times George Zimmerman Stand your Ground".

It will mention that the SYG has been tested 5 times including the Trevon Martin shooting? Not sure what is different. He was pretty much acquitted based upon the stand your ground law.

A car can be deadly too. If someone cuts me off in traffic in a manner I feel is threatening, should I be in the clear to shoot them and eliminate the threat?
