re: #58 Obdicut

I don’t really see that, no. I see the people who promoted the bill defending it, as I’d expect, and sometimes displaying an odd bit of ignorance about it. The actual rulings on the cases match up with the opinions of the police and prosecutors who warned about this, as do the simple statistics.

The language of the bill does include pursuit, as long as the pursuit is legal. That is the language of the bill. You have agreed the bill needs to be rewritten, so I am not sure why you continue to defend it. If you want a SYG bill that takes into account the whole encounter, rather than just the ‘attack’, feel free to propose one, but that is not the actual law that exists, the model law crafted by ALEC and the NRA.

Not really seeing it? Well stop dismissing out of hand those who disagree with you. Like a few lawyers, a prosecutor and the authors.
These ruling reflect the racism and bad legal work. Like the one I linked in Miami. Just because the law does not exclude pursuit (or any number of other things) does not so basically alter the meaning of standing your ground or defense under decades of previous cases. You take it to the bad guy it’s not defense.
