The sheriff not arresting that guy is incompetence. The stand your ground law is written to be used as a legal defense - it's not the sheriff's job to decide when it applies. I agree that is a likely chance the guy is acquitted but at least there will be a trial.

    You can't charge someone if you can't prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.

    People seem to forget the system doesn't work that way.

    He was the aggressor and has a history of threatening to shoot people over parking/driving he disagrees with. You can’t start a fight, get pushed, and then shoot the guy that’s backing away and call that stand your ground.

    That he was the aggressor doesn't matter. His history doesn't matter, and likely wont even be admitted.



    I think it's going to hinge on the backing away bit. Is that enough to remove the reason to fear for your life? I think so. Will a Florida jury? Who the fuck knows...

    Agree and disagree

    His history is horrendous and is def out and about looking for confrontation. This can and will be used against him in a trail setting. The guy at this point deserves whatever he gets.


    As far as this particular shooting in a nutshell, it def is stand your ground.

    You can't Monday morning quarterback a civilian in this type of scenario nor can you assume that he did't feel threatened. The law isn't written that way. I think this charge is 100% beatable by itself.

    That's not the law though; it's whether or not it was reasonable for him to feel threatened.

    We can stipulate that he WAS afraid, and still decide that it was an unreasonable fear.

    The parallels to the Trayvon Martin case are undeniable. I think maybe that going for manslaughter and not 2nd degree murder maybe helps the prosecution vs Zimmerman, but I'd still be shocked if he is found guilty.

    Unfortunately this is Florida we are talking about and that stand your ground law is absolutely terrible; essentially removing duty to retreat and reversing the burden of proof compared to most self defense cases in states without the law. It seems like a prosecutorial nightmare and a way for killers with itchy trigger fingers to get off easy.

    Yikes, you aren't kidding. Called Omarosa a "dog". Dude can't help himself.

    Also, despite his tweet last night about there not being an "N-word tape"...it really seems like there is:

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-aud...out-of-n-word/

    Quote:
    A new recording, obtained by CBS News overnight, seems to back up Omarosa's story that several Trump advisers discussed an alleged tape during the 2016 campaign.
    Quote:
    "I am trying to find at least what context it was used in to help us maybe try to figure out a way to spin it," Pierson is heard saying.

    Patton then described a conversation she had with then-candidate Trump about making the slur.

    Patton: "I said, 'Well, sir, can you think of anytime where this happened?' And he said, 'no.'"

    Omarosa: "Well, that is not true."

    Patton: "He goes, how do you think I should handle it and I told him exactly what you just said, Omarosa, which is well, it depends on what scenario you are talking about. And he said, well, why don't you just go ahead and put it to bed."

    Pierson: "He said. No, he said it. He is embarrassed by it."

    Should I post McGlocktons history?




    Dudes actions were dumb. Voluntary manslaughter should be the charge. If he gets an acquittal, I won’t be upset. Maybe the next guy will think before violently shoving someone to the ground.

    Trump also basically saying Sessions isn't a "real attorney general" is great. Hand picked by Trump, then lost his Senate seat because he endorsed a pedophile, and now is under investigation and unprotected because Sessions had to recuse himself for lying to Congress about Russian contacts.

    Something, something, if they had locked him up like they should, he wouldn't have been out of prison to get himself shot.

    The guy knew mcglocktons history when he encountered him? That would make it relevant.

    Otherwise, who cares what his history is if we are looking at a reasonable belief standard.

    Would you have been okay with McGlockton pulling a gun on the idiot standing over/yelling at his family and backing him off them?

    Oh of course not - but it's still funny that he lost a GOP Senate seat because he appointed Sessions and now Sessions can't even protect him, and all Trump can do about it is whine like a teenage girl on twitter.
