In Clearwater, Florida the other day, two men got in an argument over
a handicapped parking spot. One man pushed the other violently to the
ground, and appeared to be walking away. Whereupon the man on the
ground pulled out a gun and shot the other man to death, only
shooting him in the front because the man appeared to be turning to
say something. The Sheriff says he will not arrest this man because
of Florida’s “stand your ground law.” That is just WRONG. There
is NO WAY this is a “stand your ground” situation. The pusher was
walking away and did not appear to be further threatening the killer.
It’s
a clear case of bloody murder.
How the sheriff twisted things to make this ruling is a mystery to
me. The unfortunate thing is that this gives the anti-gun fools just
what they want. They will cite this case forever. Hopefully,
prosecutors will take a more reasonable view of this obvious murder
(Update:
They did. They only charged him with manslaughter, though, instead of
murder).
The killer had previously threatened the victim, which the sheriff
apparently did not take into consideration. This situation is NOT
what the “stand your ground law” was meant to be. Pushing a man
to the ground and walking away should NOT be worthy of a death
sentence, especially not right in front of the man’s young boy.
