Stand Your Ground Law

But every single person you quoted thought McGlockton did not deserve to get shot. It baffles me how you can fail to grasp the distinction between "not blameless" and "deserves". He contributed to escalating the situation. Iif he had taken different actions for example as one possible alternative, confronting the man verbally and stepping between the man and his wife rather than shoving him to the ground, it may have turned out differently. Hypothetical of course, but a far cry from "just walk away".

Maybe if people stopped with the nonsense of these narratives and getting others to believe they can act rash with impunity there would be fewer tragic cases like this.

I think Dino it trying hard to show how others are "wrong' or at a minimum are ambiguous. It's really not that difficult of a dynamic. Three people were involved in the altercation; if any of the 3 had done some more passive:

"You're right, I should not have parked here, let me move the vehicle"

"Hey, get the F. away from my car and come over here and talk to me about it"

"Hey dude, you pushed me down; that's not cool"

The man very well would be alive today.

NOT ONE person in this thread has stated the dude deserved to get shot.  But Dino is trying to prove some point; unfortunately, I think the point escapes the rest of us.
