then will says I have a gun also and then enters his truck to retrieve it, this guy gets off.



I know nothing of the law, but wouldn't they say if he felt threatened by Will, he should have got in his hummer and left instead of following him, or does just the threat of the gun throw all of that out the window?

All I can say is one can't threaten one w a gun and then legally able to shoot someone looking to protect themselves from threat made.

and where was he supposed to retreat to? backing down a narrow, one way LGD street in a hurry in an H2 is gonna be real tough.

I disagree

quote:

Any person "who is in a place where he or she has a right," including a public space, does not have an obligation "to retreat" if faced with a real or perceived threat and "may stand his or her ground and meet force with force."


assuming that smith was the aggressor

Start it and leave.

Extricate yourself from the situation.

Person A makes a gun threat to person B, person B retreats for weapon, Person A can legally shoot person B?

Well, you'd be wrong. And you put at least one situation where it wouldn't necessarily be the case in your very own post. There are others.

This eyewitness makes it seem like Will Smith was going back into the SUV to grab a gun and that's when he was shot. Hence why in some pics you can see Smith's feet on the ground and him leaned over into the driver seat.

I didn't hear that.

Also, if Hayes was engaged in "unlawful activity", he can't use Stand Your Ground.

Intentionally rear-ending Smith's vehicle (if that was the case) could be seen as both "being the aggressor" and "engaging in unlawful activity".

if you can determine who the aggressor is, sure.

this scenario isnt that simple. Both guys were arguing. Both were irate according to eyewitnesses.

Ok i listened to it again.

Witness clearly states "guy starts freaking out on the guy saying i'm going to fight you " (referring to shooter)

He says will says "get out of here, i have a gun"

Shooter "frick ya'll i got one too, starts shooting him dead"

intentionally rear-ending Smith would make a pretty good argument for Hayes being the aggressor. IF that was the case.
