(53,661 posts)STAND. YOUR. GROUND.
STAND:
Not run and jump over a fence, follow down a sidewalk, stalk with a vehicle, go back and forth, or grab someone FIRST.
STAND THERE, FOOL!
ON YOUR GROUND:
Not your neighbor's yard, not down the street, not on a public sidewalk or your neighborhood's property or at someone else's vehicle.
YOUR GROUND. NOT THEIRS.
Z-Thug had his own ground in his vehicle. TM had his ground, the public sidewalk. Who was standing their ground and who was intruding on someone else's space?
This is why Z is a murderer. And so is this guy. And BTW, by this loon's reasoning, since the crime was that a guy jumped a fence, well, lookee what he did. Good thing for him the next door neighbor didn't shoot this asshat for jumping the fence unto his property.
This crap is just vigilantism, with the guy with the gun playing the part of policeman, judge, jury and executioner.
Irony is dead, along with this young man that got shot. It is part of some people's job description to jump over a fence for utilities, kids jump over fences to visit other kids, and yes, criminals jump fences.
Now killers jump fences, too, but no one sees the irony in the man doing the exact same thing that he murdered someone for doing.
This was done in cold blood, the loon or friend had seen someone on a security camera and went outside with a gun to do what?
Have a neighborly chat? Get a description for the cops? What the heck was he watching, a crime drama and wanted to play Rambo?
This is abnormal behavior. I hope he goes down big for this. But if the judge can invoke SYG after the verdict, it will always be used.
