SO if you were standing in line at the movies and some @sshole cut in line right in front of you, it wouldn’t be any of your business, right? You would just stand there and say nothing?
He is in allot of trouble. The distance between he and the guy standing up, the guy standing there was not approaching the fella on the ground.
Somebody goes to tuning on you, then after a couple of punches backs off...then you pop him, not good.

What are you, a worm?
Bingo!
That is the entire case for the Defense. It sounds like reasonable grounds for the self-defense claim to me - but I am not on the jury.
Anyone who expresses a similar belief is not going to be on the jury either.
The attacker was still advancing until he saw the gun being drawn. If that guy hadn’t had the gun there is no doubt he would have gotten a kick to his head and likely could have been killed.
I probably would say something because that directly impacted me. That is not the same as going around and scolding someone who took a parking spot that I could not use anyway. Like wise if that bank robber tried to car jack my car for the getaway, I would respond. The two situations are NOT the same. I don’t go scouting for trouble.
That parking spot was reserved for the handicapped. What if you were handicapped and had to park a considerable distance away. Would you have said anything then?
why couldn’t he just mind his own business? Let the police find her and fine her.
It’s NOT our job to inform people when they are breaking the law, unless it affects us.
What if you saw a little kid being bullied and assaulted by a much larger individual? That doesn’t “directly impact” you right? You’d just keep on truckin’ right?
That is not my fight. Get it. Call a cop if you want, but it ain’t your fight. If I were handicapped??? That’s is purely a hypothetical here. The shooter was not. Not his business.
You are going off the rails dude. So far from the reality of the shooting incident.
Yeah, I have some doubt that this was a lawful shoot, but I don't know if I could say it is beyond a reasonable doubt.
Really? What if the little kid was unconscious on the ground taking kicks to the head? Not your fight, right? Just let him die.
You assume way too much. Are you the one kicking the little kid? If so then I will intervene and kick your ass, ok?
You get my point.
the trouble with CC is that too many use it as get out of jail free card when simply avoiding situations or retreating from situations would be the better solution...
“If that had been me on the ground I would have been in fear for my life.”
But would you also be someone with a history of playing parking lot monitor, who enjoyed spending your time confronting people who illegally parked?
It’s not like the guy who was killed went out looking for trouble. He was a jerk who parks in handicapped slots and gets physical when he sees someone arguing with his wife/girlfriend.
What was your point again? That some little kid getting his head kicked in by a bigger bully is the same as the wife/friend/whatever of the shooting victim parking in a handicap spot? Head bashing vs rude behavior...yeah I get your point. Is Paul Blart Mall Cop your favorite movie?
The reason so many people illegally park in handicapped spots is that they know most people are too cowardly to call them out.
