Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Stand-your-Ground ????

I thought it was a good shoot, the attacker was not retreating any significant distance he was right there standing over the victim. His body language indicated that he pushed that man in full confidence that he held an overwhelming physical advantage. There was a very real possibility that he would have assaulted the man again had he tried to get up.

Looked to me like he wasn't done until he saw the gun.

I think the only mistake the shooter made was not shooting him again, this was in Florida and they take pissing with old people serious.

The world is now short one more [bleep], and hopeful his kid will always remember what happens when you hurt people, what a dumbass, a dead dumbass!

Hope the old man walks, that punk needed to be shot for shoving old folk down, way past time that prick learned some manners, not sad his best learned lesson will be his last.

The shooter is 47, I don't consider that OLD PEOPLE territory.

The guy that got shoved is 47.

Well he was twice as old as the assclown that assaulted him. And he didn't appear to to be a picture of health, but he was smart enough to protect himself.

LOL, well, he sure hit the ground like an old dude, zero balance recovery.

I'm wondering how far some of you are willing to let a looney go reaming out your wife before he gets a good shove?? Fugger didn't need a handicap place so what was he up to?

Good shoot, this country needs fewer McGlocktons.

You can teach your wife to stand up for herself.

He was doing us a public service, ridding the world of an idiot, and doing it in splendid fashion I might add, the tough guy must have thought being stupid qualified him as being handicapped , it didn't .

The way it has been explained to me by a member of SWAT of Memphis, is that anyone over the age of 60 that gets assaulted by someone younger and in excellent health, and feels that their life is in danger, may use deadly force to prevent additional injury. I asked the question because one of our customers had said they were going to come around the counter in our restaurant and kill me. I told him I had a gun on me and would shoot him if he crossed a line in the floor or reached for a weapon. He started to come and I pulled the gun and ordered him to stop. He did just before I had to shoot him. I had already pushed the panic button, that all restaurants have, and right after he ran out of the restaurant, it filled with police. They viewed the tapes and said I would have been within my rights to shoot the guy. Also, we had a regular customer that is an assistant attorney general for the state and he also said the law is clear for people over 60 that feel endangered. That said, I am so happy that guy stopped. I would have hated killing someone over an argument over food.

At 47, unless he was disabled, he may not be able to assert that claim.

In some states, Stand Your Ground does not apply if a person "inserts themselves into an altercation", or in any way provoked the altercation. Not having watched the video, but just going off the comments of those who have, ti may apply. Regardless, I wouldn't want to be the person answering when the DA asks why I didn't just elect to walk a few more feet to mitigate the altercation, Stand Your Ground law or not.

Again, math eludes you.

Young thug got what he was astin for.

I see two dumb people in the video. The guy who got shoved was hanging around looking for a confrontation. The dumbchit who shoved him got one. All over a parking spot.

Stupid games/stupid prizes.

Looked to me like the attacker continued to advance on the victim until the gun was drawn. I think it's reasonable assumption he was going to assault him again. Probably verbal cues to the same.
