You have to be charged before you can use stand your ground
"Butler was seen exiting a red truck before shooting Reed. He then got back in his truck and left the scene, according to his arrest warrant document." source >

How is it self defense when he could have just punched it and drove off? >

The point of white supremacy is not having to explain. Remember: the single goal of conservatism is to maintain an in-group and an out-group, where the law protects but does not bind the in-group and binds the out-group and does not protect it. >

Dude, you post in LouderWithCrowder. How are you moderate in any way lol
Edit: And TheLeftCantMeme and TheBidenshitshow LOL. Tell me more about how "both sides" are being manipulated to hate each other. >


I mean, are there not the opposite equivalents as well?

No, not really. 

That's kind of the point, all the parties do is try to make us hate each other

This is only true if you only watch right-wing media. >

So there are no anti right subs on reddit......
That your final answer? You may want to look through some subs before doubling down on that.
To all you downvoters that won't respond, reddit has a search bar. Use it >


So there are no anti right subs on reddit......

There are tons of anti-right subs on reddit. there are basically zero anti-right subs on reddit that are as bigoted as the right wing subreddits are.
a large portion of the content featured on the rightcantmeme (i.e. right wing memes) is outright bigoted, while basically zero of the content featured on the leftcantmeme (i.e. left wing memes) ~~are~~ is actually bigoted. >

Police told 10TV that the suspected shooter lived at the same apartment complex as the victim.
10TV tracked crime at the Wedgewood Village Apartments and found that in the last five years, police have investigated 17 homicides.
In the case of the apartment complex, there are 10 unsolved homicide cases within 1,000 feet of each other.
From another article. Does anyone local have firsthand experience of this place? It sounds like a rough place to grow up. >

Oh yeah wedgewood has a terrible reputation. When I lived in Columbus it was known for bedbugs. It's been about ten years, seems they've moved on to violence. >

The bedbugs in Columbus are murdering people now? Stay safe out there folks. >

Don't let the bed bugs bite.. =) >

Federal charges were filed in Municipal court, that's the reason the prosecutor gave for dismissing the charges. Sounds like someone fucked up when they filed the charges. I'm not saying it's right, but we can't  pretend like loopholes and technicalities haven't let people get away with murder before. Take qualified immunity, for example. >

It’s Columbus, Ohio. Everything about this screams they purposefully fucked up filing the charges. The justice system everywhere is littered with corruption and prejudice, but Ohio? That state tried to deny a 10 year rape victim an abortion. It’s a horrible fucking state. 
They get away with shit like this because people go “well it’s the law and they went through the system and it’s happened before and oh well what’re you gonna do” >

A media release from Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney Gary Tyack’s office Thursday afternoon said it is standard practice for almost every felony case filed in Municipal Court to be dismissed. 
It’s a procedural move. The Police aren’t commenting because the case is still active. We have no clue what’s going on except the family is upset and are claiming “there’s no way Shazir had a weapon.” We don’t know a single detail about the case other than the shooter left the scene and he wasn’t allowed to own a gun. 
We just don’t know anything except what the grieving family is claiming. >

His name is Sinzae, and you are misinformed. The suspect's family has been on Facebook since October claiming that Sinzae had a gun and shot at the suspect's truck. >


Butler may be claiming self-defense, according to a police detective.

The accused killer might be claiming a specific defense and that warranted the charges to be dismissed. Something isn’t adding up here. Plenty of convicted killers claim self-defense. >

Prosecutors care about stats not justice >

Then cases they choose to not prosecute ahould count as forfeits. So technically you could have won 90 cases and lost 1 but forfeited 1000 >

Might create incentive to prosecute innocent to avoid a forfeit >

Hmm didn't think about that. What about we use the trick from Airbud and whoever the dog runs to is innocent? >

A grown ass man claiming self-defense for shooting an unarmed 13yo.........
GTFOH with that >

How do you shoot someone in self defense with a gun you aren’t allowed to own? >

That doesn't prevent a self defense claim. Of course you could still be charged with illegal possession, but an illegal gun doesn't turn valid self defense into murder. >


valid self defense

Valid being the key word. How the hell was this valid? >

I am not claiming that this particular case was, only that the legality of the gun isn't the deciding factor >

It probably should be >

Hard disagree. Say a sex worker with a prior drug conviction is being violently attacked by client. Even though they legally cant own a firearm and are in the commission of illegal activities I see no benefit demanding by law they succumb to death or spend life in prison for murder. If they are illegally carrying punish them for that, its still self defense.
Another example just touching a pistol without a permit is highly illegal in NY. If i wrestle my attackers gun and use it by law I illegally was in possession of a firearm. Your proposal would lock the victim up for nearly life. >

Jeezus fuck. People are calling you the redditor with the critical thinking skills, yet you can't separate out "weapon acquired illegally as part of the self defense action (self defense came first and warranted taking the weapon) vs already having an illegal weapon and using it "defensively" against an unrelated person. >

My example of a sex worker illegally carrying and using a gun in self defense covered it fine. >

I'm pro sex worker, but if you're a felon, you don't get a gun. You don't get to make use cases for certain people over others. It sucks that they should probably still have a gun to keep themselves safe, but why do they get a pass? Felony is felony, they lose their gun the same way someone who killed 8 people in cold blood should. 
The world is fucked up and scary but "my illegal job requires me to own an illegal weapon to keep myself safe" doesn't deserve a pass. I'm just sick of you assholes and your gun fetishism. >

The prosecutors are like “oh grand jury charges could still be brought” when it’s not clear that they will. They dropped charges when the chick-punching scumbag who shot this boy and his enabler mom cried self defense on social media. >

Stand Your Ground enabling yet another person to get away with murder.
