I agree, she should have. But the law says she can stand her ground.

I’d think her going to get her firearm and exiting her vehicle with it would negate not being charged when she could have driven off.

Getting the gun and getting back out of the car seemed like the only questionable part in my mind.

And that question was answered when he continued to follow her around the parking lot while she retreated. Like you said, dude was an idiot. So he found out. Would have been shocked if they charged her with anything.

She shouldn’t be. Two idiots in a parking lot. Only one made it home.

Might be the right call, but black people act like this all the time. Curious to see if the shoe still fits when it's on the other foot.


There a difference between feeling disrespected and feeling endangered.

Also… would have both been shooting, and neither person would have been hit… but 4 bystanders would have been.

Are you saying if it was a black man aggressively walking towards a white woman, the white woman would have been charged for killing him? In Florida?


In miami, Florida? That really so hard for you to believe?

This statement has nothing to do with my thoughts on the case;:

If someone says “if you don’t leave / if you come any closer, I’ll shoot you”, believe them. That’s your freebie to GTFO of the situation.

He was behaving aggressively, she retreated and gave him a chance to back off, and he still came at her.


Democrats sure had no problem putting Rittenhouse in jail with no bond for over a month and making him go to trial for murder with the same circumstances.

Not even close. The case you are referring to he was attacked while fleeing the situation heading toward police.

This case, I honestly thought when she retreated to safety and then came back with a firearm she would have lost the stand your ground argument. It will be interesting in the future what cases will argue this decision as precedent. In this situation, I don't have an issue with the decision. I just don't like the precedent of retreating to safety in a public area and then returning to the confrontation and having this applied in the broader scope. Potential for some lenient judges or DA's to let people off where the cases are much further from the grey than this one.

He was trying to get shot and succeeded.

Payne exited her vehicle holding a phone in her left hand and a firearm in her right and said, per a witness, "If you keep coming up to me, I'm going to ------- shoot you!" the memo stated.

The witness reported that "despite those warnings," DiGuglielmo continued to approach, and video showed him "aggressively approach" Payne, according to the memo.


That is a textbook example of "standing your ground".

It was intentional, given the following part of the statement. Irony for situations like this. But I do appreciate corrections, thanks!

I wish the thread responses could be distributed to the blacks that are racists all over. You see, the majority of us crackas care about right versus wrong more than the color of your skin.

Admittedly, I thought she would catch a charge, but the law is the law.

I mean as soon as she pulled the gun he had the chance to back off, she gave him a chance and he kept pursuing her aggressively. Classic case of FAFO.
