Stand your ground does not apply here. You can't shoot somebody just because they pushed you. As the attorney has argued, you cannot provoke a fight and then claim SYG.



The deceased was backing off for multiple seconds before the gun was fired. There is no way they can convincingly argue that death/great bodily harm was imminent.

Shove?? That was a physical assault on a guy that was maintaining distance and using his words.


From assault point of contact to dude clutching his chest is roughly 5.34 seconds on a stop watch.

And how do you know he threatened the woman?

And in the case of the woman, if she were threatened, why did she get out of the car? She was relatively safe in the car. She got out where she was more vulnerable. Doesn't sound like she felt threatened to me.

She does not get out until she sees hubby AND another man come out of store......defense will argue that the shooter was "ganged up on".......

And? He had time to assess that the threat was retreating and he still pulled the trigger. You cannot change this fact, regardless of how you choose to tell the story.

Yep. I always come with the truth.

Some punk thug wanna be cop murdered someone.

Attacks a woman and gets scared when a man shows up. Typical b++++ move.

Oh now he 'attacked' her? If his interaction with her was an 'attack', how do you define the blindside shove she got from her baby daddy?

I’d wager this wouldn’t even be a thread if both of the folks involved were black....

It is well known that the SYG law has been used for black on black shootings more than white on black........but, once again, that does not fit the narrative.......

Crumb, the losing attorney in the TM case, is involved now. The community outrage will be ratcheted up 100 fold......

What? Some strange man in a confrontation with your spouse is the provocation.

Wrong. Legally.

At the time her husband appears the shooter was three feet from her and arguing over the HC parking spot. While one can say that's being overbearing, it's not illegal, and the old guy was right about the illegal parking in a HC spot. He could have taken a photo of the car in the spot and called the cops to wtite a ticket for a ... what $ ....

OK..I looked it up for Tennessee. Evidently, so many folk don't take it seriously that in 2008 ...

Effective July 1, the penalty for parking illegally in a handicapped spot will increase from $150 to $200 with no waivers or appeals allowed. These changes were approved by the Tennessee Legislature during its recent session.Jun 27, 2008

What it comes down to is the young ABLE BODIED husband disrespected any HC person who might drive up and need that that spot. When he violently pushed the old guy down, he performed the illegal provocation.

You might say he pushed him down instead of hitting him with a closed fist, but the number two killer of seniors is the consequences of a fall. Brittle joint bones break. Hitting with a closed fist could kill many seniors with medical conditions for which a HC parking permit could be issued.

If the husband had kept his head and talked it through he'd be alive.

The shooter should not have completely unlimbered his weapon. There's the real crux of the issue. And he had the opportunity to not pull the trigger.

He's got a better case to work with this time IMO. I hate that, as you suggest, this move will almost certainly result in racial BS pouring in.

He is already stating the basis of his case......."victim was backing away"......

Best lines ever...

“There were no other empty parking spots, so I parked in handicap ...I have the right to park anywhere I wanna park”

I've said it before...if it's been lawfully submitted this guy had previously threatened to shoot someone outside the boundaries of lawful self-defense there's no way in hell he should still have a valid carry permit.
