Just an observation about "Stand your Ground" and how utterly regressive it is

2. Um no...

There are plenty of things wrong with the Stand your Ground law. Not the least of which is the fact that studies have shown *gasp* that a minorities are less likely to be believed if they invoke it and it is much more likely to be used against them whether they are a real threat or not and if the person using the defense is white wow suddenly it becomes a more believable defense. Secondly it is a poorly written law. But, it is not so poorly written that any reasonable person could read it as legalized dueling in the scenario you have presented.
