re: #99 Timothy Watson

Lamestream media doesn’t understand “Castle Doctrine”:

The outlet does seem to be implying a lot of skepticism about the story, starting with the headline:

‘Stand Your Ground’? Oklahoma man kills 3 home burglars; woman who aided robbers arrested.

This might even invite the inference that the woman was arrested for administering first aid to the unfortunate crooks.

The facts, as given in the text, don’t leave a lot of room for doubt:

(Deputy sheriff) Mahoney said the homeowner’s 23-year-old son used an AR-15 rifle to shoot the three Monday afternoon after they broke through a glass door in the rear of the home.

Their names were not released, but Mahoney said two of the dead were 16 or 17 years old and the third was 18 or 19. The three were found wearing masks and gloves and dressed in black clothing. Brass knuckles and a knife were found among their possessions, he said.

“It looks like self-defense from the preliminary investigation, but that’s all speculative,” Mahoney said. “There’s some speculation as to whether or not that (Stand Your Ground) law applies in this case, the simple answer is I don’t know.”

If SYG doesn’t apply, it would seem that straightforward self defense, recognized in every state, would.
