YES! An old man shot someone because he threw popcorn at him. Just because he is a good ole boy cop, he thinks he has a right. I truly hope this guy dies in jail.

I also hope that this judge is not targeted, no pun meant, by the Florida NRA, aka the gun owners that make Texas look like Manhattan

1. About damn time!

That murder happened 3 years ago. The victim's family deserves justice.

2. SYG is as dysfunctional as the civilian who claims it.

And that's why civilized states don't pass it. Safe use requires far more ethical and cognitive ability than most civilians posess.

3. The florida version is especially toxic

AS our NRA pretty much bans any form of restraint.

4. I live in Florida. Most people are cool, but I never know when I

may be facing a stand his ground nut. I don't react to traffic cutoffs or physical acts of public rudeness.
