Debate Central / Re: Stand Your Ground: Chai Vang Case Revisited
« on: June 30, 2014, 11:55:05 PM »The most incriminating thing is what you said in that last paragraph. Two years in prison and he came out with no remorse. He went on the stand and said that they deserved to die.
As for stand your ground, I am not sure. I agree with you that it is most likely self defense. If I recall correctly, the news article said that the Meka people shot first... two shots hit the trees near his head. That's when he dropped down and took them out one by one.
What he said was just stating the truth. Who in the right mind would intimidate and threatens another fellow hunter out in the woods? Anyone doing so deserves to die! This country's laws are just so f'en stupid. The aggressor always goes unpunished and those whom retaliate gets maximum sentence. DNR rules should apply, baiting is a crime, why isn't it in Chai's case, he was baited to act?
Regarding the stand your ground law, it would have not help this gook because you're surrounded by an all white jury who's opinions and decisions has already been made the minute they'd heard some hunters had bit the dust.
