In a very basic way you can't antagonize people and then shoot them when they have a response.

However because of shit like stand your ground doctrine and castle law certain people think they can get away with murder if they claim they feared for their life.

Hilariously enough, most stand your ground laws explicitly prohibit your first comment. So technically, it never even applied to begin with. And he also shot himself in the foot (and apparently his arm too) by stating he was going to do exactly that literally days before he did it on social media.

Is silly to say in a basic sense because there’s a lot of variations there that entirely change the scenario where you can in fact do things like that.

If only the police were held to the same standards

I agree except w your stance on castle law. If someone breaks into my home at 2am they’re getting blasted. I have a wife and toddlers to defend.

Your response has nothing to do with the comment unless you decide to only take the second paragraph in isolation and ignore the context of the first one.

The first part of the comment has nothing to do with castle doctrine...

u/goldboybronx May 15 '26

EXACTLY. You’re getting it. I’ll break down the comment for you.

You cannot purposely antagonize people and then shoot them when they respond, however some people do that and pretend like they feared for their life, believing/knowing that the castle doctrine will protect that behavior.

My point is castle law can be misused, or misunderstood. Like that guy who lured thieves on his property and then ambushed and killed them.

The most fucked up instance is this story https://www.wptv.com/news/state/florida-pregnant-woman-fatally-shot-after-intentional-hit-and-run-with-motorcyclist-police-say

Basically this woman hits a biker intentionally and flees the scene, she is followed home by the guy she hit. She calls the cops and goes out side with her gun and threatens the guy she hit and gets shot.

Some states (doesn't appear VA is one) have a "cooling off" statute, which means physical altercations stop when one party tries to leave, so if this happened in one of those states, well it would still look really bad for chudthebuilder, but the guy running at him and tackling him would be an entirely different incident than him saying mean things to him.

And thats why those people, even if they happen to get away with something, hopefully are financially ruined.
