You can follow all the rules but you never know what some judge is going to do.

SO true.

[Parley Baer]

“Roly was struck four times, apparently dispossessing himself of his two weapons – knives”

I assume Roly’s fingerprints were on the knives. I have to agree with the Apellate court. Looks like it was clearly a case of self defense. The video also supports the self defense case.

A prosecutor with a political agenda is a dangerous animal too.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

If the account posted is accurate, it seems Mobley did all he could before producing and using a firearm.

[man_in_tx]

Better judged by twelve than carried by six.

[Dan(9698)]

Or prosecutor who filed the charge.

Or detective who doesn't want any self defence.

That guy looks whiter that George Zimmerman, he’s actually a decent looking guy, too bad he was a jerk who got himself shot.

[VeniVidiVici]

Good shoot to me.

It’s called punishment by process - innocent or guilty, charge the victim, destroy his reputation, and make him run up hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bills. Make the process painful enough, and future victims are more likely to just take their *ss-whippings.

In general one can almost always predict what a judge is going to do. American judge instinctively favor the criminal element as the trial judge did in this case. Once the left has total control of the appellate judiciary the innocent will have no chance.

Rebull was appointed by Gov. Scott in 2011. Time for the locals to jerk the Governor around, especially when the evidence appears to be so clear.

I had to go before a judge only once. A cleaning service stiffed us...we paid them to clean and they didn't do it.
Well, I stood before the judge and had done ALL MY HOMEWORK. As I was still talking the judge was writing out the verdict in my favor. I won the case cuz I had dotted ALL my "i's" and crossed ALL my "t's".

My mother remembers that AS SOON as I got home from ELEMENTARY school I started in on and finished all my homework. I wasn't as smart as my sister or parents so I inculcated a WORK ETHIC very soon to make up for it.

Until the citizens of this Country stand up and teach those filing the charges who is supposed to be in charge (and it is NOT them or the Government).

[oldenuff2no]

I fully support this American and his second amendment rights. He did everything he could do to end this confrontation but was unable to stop the aggressor with less than deadly force.

Contrary to the BS liberal line of crap the right to protect yourself with a firearm has nothing to do with race. This was a fine American man acting within his constitutional and God given rights.

[coloradan]

How can one appeal a grant of immunity? If Mobley was given immunity, he’s immune and that’s the end of the story. At least, it is when government agents are given immunity. Is this yet another case in which government agents are treated differently than mere citizens? If so, I’m opposed.

Yep.

And just as was the case with George Zimmerman, if there is a defense fund set up somewhere I'm ready to contribute.

[B4Ranch]

What happened to all the racists on FR? Nobody is jumping up and down demanding that the Black man is GUILTY because of his skin color! Jeesh, there has to be somebody on FR that is against this Black dude.

[tomkat]

Shakespeare had it wrong: autocratic judges first, then see how many lawyers are still feelin' frisky.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Race or color shouldn't matter.

There will always be liberal LEOs and judges who don't like the idea of armed self defense.
