Yeah but even better from Georges brother, George has been found not guilty. A free man now

Good thing is that a bunch of pussies who will threaten George to fuck him up won't act on it. As for me I don't give a shit. But I won't be buying skittles with a hoodie on again.

If you taze them, they are going to get up and go right back to what they were doing before, robbery.

I've been the victim of a break-in before, and lost some very precious sentimentally valuable things as well as about $1,500 worth of electronics. And yes, it fucking sucked, but boohoo. It was just stuff. I do not consider deterring robbery to EVER be worth the life of another human being. Property is replaceable, people are not.

That's a burgle, I think he means one on one robbery.

Yeah, I have been broken into twice, back when I lived somewhere else and it really sucks, you do feel violated too.

And that brings another factor into play, if somebody walks into my place of business and produces a firearm then I produce a firearm then we have TWO very nervous Individuals pointing pistols at each other.

What are the chances nobody pulls a trigger?

Think it will be a Mexican standoff?

I would shoot anyone anywhere in a robbery situtation. If you don't think taking a life is correct for a theif, that is your choice. But that is not the law. People have the right to defend thier property and themselves.

(What they did NOT get was a ton of money. OJs wealth was already depleted from his first battle with the courts and most of the rest was divvied up in the form child support)

No they can't.

The stand your ground law is written so if you are found not guilty, the BS stops there.............no civil case is allowed. Game Over.

[Arevalosocom]

Many states have some form of Stand Your Ground law. Alabama,[12] Alaska,[13] Arizona,[14] California,[15][16] Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa,[17] Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,[14] Maine, Massachusetts,[18] Michigan,[14] Mississippi, Missouri, Montana,[14] New Hampshire,[14] North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma,[14] Pennsylvania ,[19], Rhode Island,[20] South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,[14] Texas,[21] Utah,[22] West Virginia,[14], Wisconsin[23] and Wyoming have adopted Castle Doctrine statutes, and other states (Iowa,[24] Virginia,[25] and Washington) have considered "Stand Your Ground" laws of their own.[26][27][28]

Some of the states that have passed or are considering "stand your ground" laws already implement "stand your ground" principles in their case law. Indiana and Georgia, among other states, already had "stand your ground" case law and passed "stand your ground" statutes due to possible concerns of the case law being replaced by "duty to retreat" in later court rulings. Other states, including Washington and Virginia, have "stand your ground" in their case law but have not adopted statutes; West Virginia had a long tradition of "stand your ground" in its case law[29] before codifying it as a statute in 2008. These states did not have civil immunity for self-defense in their previous self-defense statutes
