Thanks, Stand Your Ground! No homicide charges for teen who shot, killed man

[Nuclear Unicorn]

48. I dream of an American where once again sticking wielding maniacs can safely assault teens.

They left out this tidbit --

The shooter will face charges in the case — specifically, carrying a concealed firearm and possession of a firearm by a minor.

Ocala police detectives on Tuesday were in the process of obtaining a pickup order for Pierson, who is being charged as an adult.

It seems TP (how apt) tries suggesting that those who are entitled to a SYG defense are also exempt from other laws. This is obviously false and misleading.

They also leave out this inconvenient fact --

One witness saw Jacobs get out of his Ford Expedition with the stick in his hand and yell an expletive as he walked around the front of the SUV toward the trio. The witness said Jacobs raised the stick to strike one of the youths, and one of them shot him.

Another eyewitness said Jacobs had been arguing with the three down the street. She said the teens had been "talking junk" to him.

Shortly afterward, the trio was walking west on Third Street when Jacobs drove up to them. The witness said he got out with a large stick and said, "I'll beat your ass," as he approached with the stick raised. One of the teens then shot Jacobs.
