Playing it again on ABC News this morning.

Must be a slow news day.

Life taking decisions are so simple as we sit in front of our desk tops!!
No involvement....no participation....no personal investment....in deciding when or whether it is OK to take a human life.

Watch the video....again....

Victim's girlfriend says Florida gunman provoked fatal 'stand your ground' shooting - ABC News

Listen to all the info available.

I agree with you. You should never use a gun unless you realize fully the profound changes in the lives of the family of this person you are aiming a lethal weapon at.

This man was itching to use his weapon just for the sake of using it.

He murdered someone. Whether that was justified should depend on a jury of his peers .

When the indignant entitled passenger was confronted, she said they were allowed to park anywhere they wanted to... Didn't matter that the space was designated for Handicapped.

Sounds very much like many villages residents act/behave!!
No impact on the decision to shoot an unarmed man!

Bottom Line is. If he had obeyed the law and not parked in the handicapped spot would we be having this conversation. This is just one mans opinion!

Not true
 

Funny that is not how it was reported in the Tampa paper when it happened..... quote was that "the lot was full and they were only going to be there a couple of minutes". How does this stuff get so blown out of proportion.......

Fer cripes sake...seriously? :oops:


Illegal handicap parking, is now fair game for gun carrying 'hero wannabe's'...to kill someone? :ohdear:

This is a absurdly STUPID law. Period. Can you spell Zimmerman?

:BigApplause:...:BigApplause:...:BigApplause:

Didn't realize how many States.

Excuse me? I didn't say it was fair game all I said was if the man had obeyed the sign we wouldn"t be having this conversation

From what I have read so far, the girlfriend driver parked in a handicap spot although other spaces were open. She lied stating the lot was otherwise full which it was not as shown by surveillance video. Then she laughably said she did not do anything wrong when of course she had. The elderly gentleman was apparently admonishing her for her wrongdoing perhaps asking her to move her car to one of the open parking spaces so the spot could be used by a handicapped person when her boyfriend came at the man and blindsidedly violently shoved him to the ground without warning. If I were that man I might have felt sufficiently threatened to shoot the physically threatening thug who had already suddenly violently attacked me in self defense myself.

BTW I wonder if the violent shover had a criminal history.

I have never seen escalation end well.
