re: #287 Altar Boy of Darwinism
IMHO, anger is best directed at this law. And maybe the Sanford PD, but that’s another issue.
So if we do away with this law, have we considered how high we want the burden of proof to be if we have to defend ourselves some day? Women need to able to use extreme force to stop a rapist, a classic he said she said unless you have witnesses. Or a merchant on the way to the bank with his deposit who is assaulted for the money?
A media hot case like this can swing the pendulum too far.
