Nope. I’m not a racist.

You like guys like this I guess. I bet you don't even want to see him
executed,

I am opposed to the death penalty, even for scumbags like the one
described in the article you cited.


But you would execute a Feral dog for being aggressive.


No different than I would treat a violent home invader... .357 Magnum in
the center of body mass.


So you are really for executions.

That, and apparently he forgets that he likes in Maryland, which as I
understand it, is not a Stand Your Ground or Castle Doctrine state.


There is no stand your ground there and the castle doctrine only
applies if you are in imminent danger and you have no safe way to
retreat. Basically if you are trapped in the bedroom you might be able
to use deadly force but if there is a door behind you, you are obliged
to run out. There also needs to be a credible threat, like a weapon
and an overt act. Blowing a guy away who is just snooping around in
the living room will usually get you charged.
I am sure Harry knows a cop who says he can blow the guy away but the
cops let Zimmermann go too. That doesn't mean the prosecutor will let
it go, particularly if it is put on the news in a bad light.
The interpretation I cited was presented in court when my former
roomie was being convicted of murder. The question from the prosecutor
that sunk him was "could have escaped if you tried"? "Yes", "Then
deadly force was not your only option was it".
Certainly an out of shape septuagenarian may present as a more
sympathetic defendant that a 23 year old Force Recon Marine but that
is how the law gets read. I am sure that if anything, they are more
strict about it. As I said Harry better hope the guy he shoots is not
an "honor student who just went astray" like Trayvonn and he better
have more competent council than my friend. (who should have never
been on the stand in the first place)
