There was no threat to the homeowner's life nor risk of bodily harm. The kid hadn't even tried to break in.
You can't shoot someone to death for being in your back yard. That's not stand-your-ground, that's slaughter.
I don't think I said anything other than the fact that LA enacted a SYG law in 2006. Calm down sugar, I know you've already come up with 100 reasons for why this guy is guilty.
There is no evidence of a burglar here. The dog barked. The kid was leaving.
Even if a burglary had occurred, which it hadn't, I don't believe the appropriate penalty for burglary by a juvenile is the death penalty. Do you? You support the death penalty for juveniles who are found guilty of burglary without a weapon?
There is evidence of a murderer. I don't support murderers.
How does this have anything to do with Martin, I don't believe he was shot because he was burglarizing anything, though Zimmerman did accuse him of that.
It doesn't sound like it would be similar to Trayvon Martin The boy shot was trespassing private property while we definitely know Martin's encounter with Zimmerman occurred on public property.
He was in a locked backed yard. How do you think he got there?
He jumped the fence? Do you think that deserves the death penalty?
Do you think he, an unarmed kid, would have proceeded to burglarize the home with clear evidence that the owner was home? Plus a dog already barking? Do you really think that's the goal of most 14-year-old burglars---to get caught? Really?
Plus you can't kill someone for what you think they're going to do. And you can't kill someone for being in your backyard.
