Florida's 'stand your ground' law is 'a license to kill black people,' attorney says.
Debated today on Smercornish. CNN HD. This black family pulled in to get food but Parked in a Disabled Parking without any legal right. A fella walks up tells the family off (waiting in the car) then the Black husband walks out the store Pushes the White fella to the ground. The White Fella - Pulls a Gun out from the floor shoots dead the black fella. Its the Florida Law , Stand your ground, also never park in disabled unless you are.

So the attourney is lowkey being racist, by saying black people are most likely to cause violent confrontations, necessitating self defence.

Yes It appears he says The man with the Gun is Free. And he was not standing over him he said he was some feet way. The trouble is that Push to the ground was fast. If only that Family did not park in that Disabled parking space none of this would have gone down. Last edited by arista; 28-07-2018 at 04:44 PM. |

He does push him hard but the stand your ground laws allow the use of deadly force IF you feel like your own life is in danger. The guy was clearly backing away as soon as he drew his gun, for several seconds before he pulled the trigger. There's no argument that he still felt his life was at risk.

Hang on this is USA nothing like the UK. And Florida has a Special Law "stand your ground" That Man killed did not have to park in the Disabled parking. Thats why the man with the gun got angry he could see the had no disabled pass. |

Jessica Meuse was robbed.

It's about time.
Being serious it's one of those scenarios that was unfortunate as the black guy I don't think was gonna kill the disabled guy, but the disabled guy was obviously scared for his life and sadly a life ended up being lost. Basically it's why the law is risky imo as this could happen to anybody in Florida.

Absolutely no need to shoot imo.
The sight of the gun is enough to make most people back off and walk away. Looks like he shot out of anger rather than fear. If the guy was on top of him beating the shet out of him then yeah I could understand it. |

Stand Your Ground has largely been used to excuse murders of black people for years. Look at the Trayvon Martin case, the murderer followed Trayvon for a number of blocks before creating a situation in which he could kill the teenager. If Trayvon was white, he would have gotten justice.

I'm not saying anyone deserved to be shot, but if I were to take sides I'd pick the disabled person who was thrown to the floor after confronting someone for needlessly taking a handicapped space.

(Again though guys, people need to actually read the links, I don't know how people have managed to get the idea that this was a disabled man who wanted to use the space... It doesn't say that anywhere.) |

From the clip I understood it was this particular store he had an issue with people parking in the disabled bay unless I got that wrong, he might have a disabled relative and been tipped over the edge by the space being taken constantly, eitherway he shouldn’t be allowed to have a gun, to be killed for parking in the wrong bay is extreme

Like a lot of Laws in a lot of countries, this has been ill-thought out and wide open to opportunist abuse.
It needs revoking urgently. That said, in this particular case, I agree with LT that the 'victim' seems to fit the profile of an arrogant bully who has no regard for 'rules and regulations' and believes that he can do as he pleases. Though killing him is DEFINITELY bang out of order. (no pun intended).
