Seems like this was unjustified though, at least on the surface of the story. We'd have to hear from the guy that shot her I guess to hear what was going on from his perspective. who the fuck knows, sounds fucked though
https://www.google.com/search?q=castle+doctrine.&oq=castle+doctrine.&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 now what? I don't see the part about killing a black 19 year old woman who is running away. But I'm a bad reader and skimmed it.
I'm with Eastoff on this. I didn't see anywhere that you are allowed to kill a young woman on your porch for no reason. Unless there is something big not stated in that article, the shooter is going to prison for a LONG time. Go Blazers
Stand your ground is much more defendable when the castle doctrine also applies. I'm not defending the shooter. You did read the op article and enough about castle doctrine to understand?
What's wrong with people? Nowhere is the race of the shooter mentioned, yet the first comment I saw was "fuck white people."
Horribly sad story. It's a shame so many people live in fear from all the violent break ins that they feel the need to to be over protective.
I saw a story on KPTV last night talking about a woman that goes around door to door in NE Portland begging for money. Apparently she knocks on people's doors at all hours of the night, begging for money for baby formula, and she actually pushed her way into one house when one woman opened the door. The part that I found interesting was that they gave no description of the woman. They just pointed people to a facebook page that was from a NE Portland neighborhood discussing the matter. I didn't realize that they were intentionally being non-descriptive until the victim of the breakin said that the woman mentioned that she must not be racist because she "let her in." At that point I realized that the woman going door to door was probably black, and KPTV didn't want to mention her race. This world that we live in is getting utterly ridiculous.
I just think it's ridiculous that the news didn't even give a description of the woman. http://www.kptv.com/story/23900771/st-johns-neighbors-spreading-word-about-aggressive-panhandler I looked on the facebook page and she is most definitely black. https://www.facebook.com/groups/stjohnsportland/ Why can't KPTV say that she's black? Why wouldn't they give a description at all? It was like that case a while back where the police were looking for two black men in relation to a suspected gang shooting. In the release from the PD it clearly described them as black, yet the media wouldn't release the full description. Are we seriously so sensitive now that we can't even say that someone is black without hurting feelings?
