Killer father McMicheal said it was "self defense". The DA brought in "citizen's arrest" to protect his good ole boy buddy

(82,849 posts)I mean, who among us, when suddenly confronted by somebody you don't know holding a shotgun says he wants to talk to you, doesn't immediately stop minding our own business, and respond in a calm and reasonable manner, "Certainly, sir. What's on your mind?"

Best tactic is to go after the top brass. Whether Sheriff of Mayor, they will be responsible for paying the fines with the voters cash. They set policy and enforce it. If no BS is allowed, it is only because the boss says so.

(31,261 posts)As was seen with Trayvon Martin, those laws allow a person to track a second person and unjustly confront that person. If an altercation ensue, the person that tracked and unjustly confronted the second person can kill the second person and declare that he or she feared for their safety and stood their ground. Those laws are a license for people that have racial animus to kill and get away with it.
