because they're not the ones trying to turn the tables and make themselves the victims, eg: poor repressed Republicans, the mean old left won't them eat their brother's porridge. so UNFAIR!

#1 his neighbors fingers probably are loaded.

notwithstanding, that's how i naturally point. but not like a bwana in the middle of the street.

if i hate anything it's that song... and Lynerd Skinerd.
(i know it's a stupid eagles song -- they suck too)

anyway, this is why we have juries.
JURORS

corr: assault AND battery.

under Self-defense outside (not Castle) in public, ...

In a physical confrontation, self defense typically allows a person who reasonably believes he is about to be hit to defend himself. However, if you've already been hit, and the person who hit you indicates by words or actions that he is not going to hit you again, self defense generally does not allow you to hit that person back. Self defense may only be invoked to prevent further harm, not to retaliate against a person who has already harmed you.

Proportional Response

Self defense also only allows for a proportional response. This means that if someone hits you with his fist, you may not necessarily be justified in pulling out a gun and shooting him.

Generally, deadly force may only be used in circumstances in which the person using deadly force has a reasonable fear of losing his or her life.

Self-Defense vs SYG
Before 'stand your ground' became law in Florida, a person had the right to defend his or her home under something known as the Castle Doctrine. Inside your home, you had no 'duty to retreat' before using deadly force against what you believed to be imminent deadly force. Which meant outside the four walls of your "castle," you did have a 'duty to retreat' or an obligation to try to diffuse the situation or get away from it before resorting to force.

i just heard the judge would not allow defendant to testify?

had the man got up and beat the crap out of the guy who assualted him possibly causing "great bodily injury"... would you convict?

correcting myself #7:
Camareno said he and Drejka's other lawyers ultimately used a self-defense argument rather than Florida's stand-your-ground law specifically, not wanting their client to have to testify at a pretrial hearing. But Drejka's initial stand-your-ground claim and Pinellas Sheriff Bob Gualtieri's reference to the statute when he declined to arrest Drejka last year renewed scrutiny of a law that lets people react with deadly force before trying to back away if they have a reasonable belief their lives are at risk.
Florida legislators doubled down on the measure in 2017, placing the burden of disproving a stand-your-ground defense on prosecutors.

--*apparently* the conviction rest on when, in the alleged 3 seconds from when he drew the weapon, to when he pulled the trigger.
meaning, he's knocked violently down to asphalt and sees the giy still coming; he apoarently knows he's outnumbered because he points the weapon twice each at two different people.
perhaps he had a moment when he might have gained clarity... perhaps not.

i think manslaughter is appropriate, but not much time, if any.

The 2019 Florida Statutes
Title XLVI
CRIMES
Chapter 776
JUSTIFIABLE USE OF FORCE
View Entire Chapter
776.012Use or threatened use of force in defense of person."
(1)A person is justified in using or threatening to use force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other's imminent use of unlawful force. A person who uses or threatens to use force in accordance with this subsection does not have a duty to retreat before using or threatening to use such force.
(2)A person is justified in using or threatening to use deadly force if he or she reasonably believes that using or threatening to use such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony. A person who uses or threatens to use deadly force in accordance with this subsection does not have a duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground if the person using or threatening to use the deadly force is not engaged in a criminal activity and is in a place where he or she has a right to be.

--define "great bodily harm". had this man not already received "great bodily harm"?
i see in the video the "attacker" definitely keep coming after the assualt; when he sees the gun then he backs up.
i see the shooter point the weapon at two people... how many people are involved here, was the shooter alone?
would an average person having just been blind-sided and viciously knocked to the ground... would that victim's mind be expected to parse his/her continuing danger?

indeed, when exactly he pulled the trigger may be problematic. from what i see and i oppose syg, ... this man could not have retreated, he as pushed to the ground.

i could not convict this man of manslaughter without knowing the punishment. he was violently attacked and yes the attacker stepped TOWARD him before he stepped away.

so Ray chose worse than bad.

i'm in...if you are.

#4
yes, he did use SYG as defense.
