It's more than a disregard for life, our politicians and media are driving wedges of division in the citizenry of our country. The GOP has become a party of hate peddling in fear and animosity and the NRA is right there with them throwing gasoline (& ammunition) on an inferno.
The GOP and NRA are following a recipe.

I’m certainly going to do what I can to not turn around in driveways or knock on doors of people I don’t know.
My understanding is you still need to feel a threat, you can't just kill someone for trespassing. States without those laws may require you to retreat or hide if you feel threatened. It is intended to give the individual the right to defend himself when feeling threatened and not put the burden on him to retreat. I don't see how that can be a defense in someone ringing your doorbell or turning down your driveway unless they were waving a gun at you while doing so.Post edited by mace1229 on0 -

Absolutely sickened by what happened to Ralph Yarl. The guy shoots him in the head, then shoots him again while he's bleeding from the head on the ground. What the hell??
The kid runs away and finds a neighbor to call 911.
The violence here in KC has progressively gotten worse and worse since we moved here in 2017. I know that it's getting worse pretty much everywhere else as well, but this is where we live. There is no sense of urgency to try to fix the problem here. What in the actual fuck is it going to take for the US to do something about the gun issue? How many kids need to be murdered? Just heartbroken and sickened by it all.
I LOVE MUSIC.

However, it occurs You may have meant to reply to my earlier post saying that the MO guy will get off...
I think you're pretty correct about the law. That said, good luck proving he didn't feel threatened. It's a different state and different circumstance but George Zimmerman had no reason to feel threatened either. And this was actually on the shooter's property. Zimmerman went chasing after Trayvon Martin and manufactured "fear." My point is that when you bring in attorneys and juries, something this black-and-white can turn gray. I would not bet a lot of money on him being convicted.1995 Milwaukee 1998 Alpine, Alpine 2003 Albany, Boston, Boston, Boston 2004 Boston, Boston 2006 Hartford, St. Paul (Petty), St. Paul (Petty) 2011 Alpine, Alpine
