Being from the northeast, I am not a supporter of our more southern states' obsession with "Stand your Ground" laws. That said, I am impressed that they actually applied this fairly, given the shooter was a black woman and the target was an older white male!

Even Massachusetts has a version of SYG, but it’s limited to your home and the Castle Doctrine. Self defense is a human right and a single punch can kill a person. I have no problem with a person shooting someone who is making active threats against them and approaching them in a threatening manner. Good shoot. Happy the innocent woman gets to go home and violent thug can’t victimize anymore people because of his fragile ego.
