PERSONAL: States Allow Deadly Self-Defense

[rodillon]

Usually I abhor Violence, but considering the last article about the Teen killed for walking across the Lawn, I'm in favor of this legislature.

Believe it or not, it extends to me as well because I have a License to Kill, and it's legal as long as it's in Self Defense:

1. S-E/LF = Superman(S) Sun(E/5) Washington(LF/Non-FL/Non-Florida)
   
2. De-Fe/N-SE = Of(De-Spanish) IR on(Fe) Nature(N) Penis(SE/Florida)
   

You see a variation of names as well:

1. Writer Richard Willing: I'm the RI/C-Hard who's Willing
   
2. Dubbed "Stand Your Ground" bills by supporters such as the National Rifle Association, the measures generally grant immunity from prosecution and lawsuits to those who use deadly force to combat any unlawful entry or attack: I still don't like violence, but what do you do when you're constantly attacked and you have nobody on your side? I said I'm like the U.S.S. Voyager stranded way out in the Delta Quadrant and it's a matter of survival
   
3. "For someone attacked by criminals to be victimized a second time by a second-guessing legal system is wrong," the NRA's Wayne LaPierre says:
   1. What do you do when you're constantly attacked? Same with me. People pick on me thinking I'm stupid when I talk about having Psychic Abilities.
      
   2. Wouldn't it make sense to show necessary force if it will kill two birds in one stone where it will make people stop harassing you as well as prove you're telling the Truth?
      
   3. I don't see why people should get punished for telling the Truth. People have been extremely nasty and mean to me about this issue
      
   4. Doesn't it make sense that if you've got the Goods and you can PROVE that you have Psychic Abilities that you use them in Self-Defense if people keep coming and harassing you thinking you're full of shit, ruin your friendships, and then brand you as a stalker or someone bad when you were telling the Truth the entire time?
4. Critics, including the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence, say the bills encourage vigilantism and would make it more likely that confrontations would turn deadly: Sadly enough, we live in a world where criminals think people are soft and that they can do anything they want.
   
5. The duty to retreat generally doesn't apply in a person's home: What do you do when they'r attacking your home? You have no place to retreat. The people who attack your home usually have a gun
   
6. Donald Montanez, owner of a Tampa towing company, is charged with murder in the shooting of a man whose car was impounded:
   1. Notice the name Mont
      
   2. I said 1/7/2006 that Davis goes by the name Mont
      
   3. He's always involved in something "shady" where the Law isn't sure
7. Montanez's attorney, Roger Rigau, says the new law should protect Montanez:
   1. Notice the Initials are RR like my Initials
      
   2. I said I'm the Law and I write Laws. So you see a strand of me as the Lawyer

It's just showing that the Legislature that I put out in the Subconscious Realm governs over the Conscious Minds as well because it's the Subconscious Minds that create scenes or shift people's Conscious Minds and Bodies around.

States Allow Deadly Self-Defense
By Richard Willing, USA TODAY
(March 21) -- A year after Florida became the first state to allow citizens to use deadly force against muggers, carjackers and other attackers, the idea is spreading. South Dakota has enacted a similar law, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels plans to sign such a measure today, and 15 other states are considering such proposals.

Dubbed "Stand Your Ground" bills by supporters such as the National Rifle Association, the measures generally grant immunity from prosecution and lawsuits to those who use deadly force to combat any unlawful entry or attack. Several states allow people to use deadly force in their homes against intruders; the new measures represent an expansion of self-defense rights to crimes committed in public.

The NRA and other supporters say the bills are needed in many states that require people under attack in public places to withdraw from the situation, rather than retaliate, unless they can show their lives are in danger. "For someone attacked by criminals to be victimized a second time by a second-guessing legal system is wrong," the NRA's Wayne LaPierre says.

Critics, including the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence, say the bills encourage vigilantism and would make it more likely that confrontations would turn deadly. Zach Ragbourn of the Brady group says the proposals "are more accurately called 'Shoot First' laws. They allow a person who just feels something bad is going to happen to open fire in public."

The idea that people should use deadly force only to defend their lives is rooted in English common law, author Richard Maxwell Brown says in No Duty To Retreat: Violence and Values in American History and Society. Another common law principle, the "duty to retreat," requires people to avoid potentially deadly confrontations. The principles apply in most states. The duty to retreat generally doesn't apply in a person's home.

LaPierre says the NRA is targeting 29 duty-to-retreat states where people can be prosecuted, sued or both if they don't retreat from criminal attacks.

Ragbourn says the proposals aim to "fix a system that isn't broken. People aren't being thrown into jail for legitimate self-defense. There's no crisis here."

Florida's law could be facing its first test. Donald Montanez, owner of a Tampa towing company, is charged with murder in the shooting of a man whose car was impounded. Prosecutors say Montanez fired as the man drove off without paying a fee. Montanez's attorney, Roger Rigau, says the new law should protect Montanez, who feared being hit by the driver.
