Bystander shot in a "stand your ground" case. Who's to blame?

[Mediocre Man]

I think both the shooter and at least the driver of the car chasing the girls is at fault.

Gun control, ladies and gentlemen.

Go ahead and take away semi automatics. I'll keep my revolver which is more powerful and doesn't jam

Legitimate gun control would include adequately punishing those who use them improperly. Unfortunately, that didn't happen here.

It looks like all you need to get away with murder is to tell the police that you "feared for you life".

Don't worry, I saw it. He was coming right for you!

Did anyone watch the stand your ground episode of south park on Wednesday?

It wasn't murder. Negligent or Involuntary Manslaughter IMHO.

I used to live way out in the sticks where there were a lot of farms nearby. If you pulled over on the side of the road to take a few ears of corn off the plants, you risked getting shot with a shotgun loaded with rock salt.
