“The stand your ground defense was highly publicized following the 2012 death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. George Zimmerman argued he shot the 17-year-old in self-defense and was acquitted of murder.”
Yes, it was highly publicized, but the only time the words “Stand Your Ground” was mentioned was during instructions to the jury that it did not apply in this case.
Prosecutor Angela Corry, in her infinite wisdom, charged “First Degree Murder or Nothing” and came away with Nothing.
The right to keep and bear arms refers to militia or military weapons AS EXPLAINED in the subordinate clause beginning the 2nd Amendment sentence. “Militia” in the beginning subordinate clause must agree with “the People” in the main clause of the sentence according to the rules of English grammar! Also since the Bill of Rights were added “to prevent abuses and usurpations” by the government, “militia” references Article I, Section 8.15-16 where the militia is mentioned and RESTRICTS the Federal Government delegated powers “for governing SUCH PART OF THEM as may be EMPLOYED in its service”. Therefore the Federal Government has NO LAWFUL POWER over the armed citizenry, the militia, the People EXCEPT THOSE IT EMPLOYS!!

On it’s face, sounds like a good shoot, but I’m not calling it until we hear more.
Or if we hear nothing it will be confirmed.

Three “teens”.
“Then I heard somebody have an assault rifle,” Carlos Watson told WSB. “And it was a slew of shots that came out.”
I’m callin’ Bullshit on the reportage right there.

This is an interesting story with a lot of strange situations.
I think it will fade away.
Needs to be followed up in about 3 months.
