Not to get involved in this debate between the two of you, but for me it's important because of the argument of standing your ground. Standing your ground means your home your street your neighborhood (which is a stretch, but for the sake of argument) - or at least it should. You can't go looking for trouble (in my opinion), then claim standing your ground. Ideally as a parent, I'd argue he had no business involved in that mess anyway. We learned in the Travon case that this isn't so since he was killed after he was followed for miles and then confronted. But because he started wining the fight and got shot, the guy didn't get jail because he "stood his ground". The law I guess, but ridiculous as he shouldn't have been searching for trouble. He too became a hero of the right (even tho as time went on people realized he wasn't a good person at all).

When do we draw the line for standing your ground. Can I come to your place (state, home, street), involve myself in something that doesn't involve me, and then kill you and claim I am "standing my ground". Ideally the message would be (if politics wasn't involved), mind ya own business and you wouldn't have gotten into this trouble.

But that common sense is out the window.
