Homeowner in Renisha McBride's killing to face murder charges[W:287]

Re: Homeowner in Renisha McBride's killing to face murder charges

Since I am on my phone, please excise my para phrasing. But, I believe it reads something like, 'if the person is within their own dwelling, and perceives threat to self, or others within, then force is justified.'

Now, it can certainly be your opinion that he didn't face a threat, or that he shouldn't have shot her, but that is, without being there at the moment, and or, knowing all the facts, merely speculation and opinion. The burden of proof is on the state.

SELF-DEFENSE ACT (EXCERPT)
Act 309 of 2006


780.972 Use of deadly force by individual not engaged in commission of crime; conditions.
Sec. 2.

(1) An individual who has not or is not engaged in the commission of a crime at the time he or she uses deadly force may use deadly force against another individual anywhere he or she has the legal right to be with no duty to retreat if either of the following applies:

(a) The individual honestly and reasonably believes that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent the imminent death of or imminent great bodily harm to himself or herself or to another individual.

(b) The individual honestly and reasonably believes that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent the imminent sexual assault of himself or herself or of another individual.

(2) An individual who has not or is not engaged in the commission of a crime at the time he or she uses force other than deadly force may use force other than deadly force against another individual anywhere he or she has the legal right to be with no duty to retreat if he or she honestly and reasonably believes that the use of that force is necessary to defend himself or herself or another individual from the imminent unlawful use of force by another individual.



There is no statute, prescedent or anything that would justify shooting someone in the face for banging on a door. You are not in danger from someone on another side of a door.

For this particular case, how reasonable the action was will become a huge sticking point for this man defense.
 
Re: Homeowner in Renisha McBride's killing to face murder charges

If the shooter is going to argue self-defense, the Reasonable Persom standard will be applied. Would a Reasonable Person have been so afraid of this tiny, seemingly unarmed girl, standing outside his locked screen door, that the Reasonable Person would shoot through the screen door and kill her?

In the cold, hard light of dawn, it doesn't seem likely.

I believe this is a tragic case in which a very frightened man, awakened from sleep in the dark of night, stood there with a shaky finger a little too close to the trigger and he'll be punished for that. Punished and probably wonder the rest of his life what the Hell he did to deserve any of this.

On the other hand, I don't believe it's going to be too long until we hear a defense lawyer argue that there should be a change in the Reasonable Person standard when it comes to a white person being confronted by a black person.

Just using this case as an example, it could be argued that the shooter wasn't afraid of the girl standing there at all, rather he was afraid of the two huge, armed black men standing right around the corner of his house waiting for that screen door to be opened. He knew that black idols like Jamie Foxx, Spike Lee and Oprah Winfrey were calling for the deaths of white people, even at the hands of black people. He knew what two blacks did to Shorty, the helpless 90 year old veteran up in a Washington State parking lot and about other similar, well publicized incidents of murder for no reason other than being white. Maybe he knew about the new black sport of knock out punches which have killed white people, the Flash Mobs in Eastern cities, the gang beatings of random white joggers and others.

It's only a matter of time until some defense lawyer argues that, if this is how black people in America act towards innocent white strangers, how can you apply the same reasonable person standard to someone confronted by a black person as you can to someone confronted by a white person, even if it is a seemingly innocent confrontation, as in this case?

That other humans could justify shooting an unarmed WOMAN in the face through a screen door is nothing short of evil.

Stand your ground and all who support it must be defeated whenever and wherever possible.

I actually think that Stand your Ground law isn't "evil" on it's face. You shouldn't HAVE to retreat in your home. I do think it's too broad and allows far too many people to blindly claim stand your ground. It should be narrower in scope and should apply ONLY in a safe location (car or home).
 
Re: Homeowner in Renisha McBride's killing to face murder charges

Why? Knee-jerk reactions take lives. Think of how many lives this policy saves per year. Weigh it out. It's disproportionately in favor of stand your ground, simply based on FBI crime database numbers. Rapes, assaults, murders...prevented daily at the hand of a gun. Stand your ground protects the innocent gun owner who's defending him/herself from scum. Instead of standing trial and losing their house trying to defend themselves in court for defending themselves, they get to go home to their family.

Yeah. Great idea. Let's protect thugs rights so we all feel warm and fuzzy, meanwhile they operate without conscious, completely unbound to the law. CRIMINALS DON'T CARE ABOUT WORDS ON PAPER. I'm sorry, but the FEW accidents it may prevent...simply not worth the alternative being the countless rapes, murders, and assaults that will occur without the protection of stand your ground for the innocent. No, this isn't faux news, this is FBI crime database figures. Contestable information? Nope.

So what happens if you're a girl, on the street walking back to your car. Approached by three young males who's lives were 'just turning around' (seems to be the typical family response), but on said day decided to rob and beat you. Are you no longer allowed to stand your ground? You're now subject to criminal action for defending yourself. High five man.

Assuming said girl is at least 21, has rented permission from the state to legally carry a gun and desires to keep her possessions and health then she may be able to foil their plans; otherwise her odds are not looking very good. ;)

And we have a winner!

Anti-gun folks will chime in soon. They can dial 911, so guys, with GUNS, can come save them, on an average of 23 minutes after the initial call. I'm sure the perps will wait until the police arrive to begin their assault. That is, if they let her get to the phone in the first place.

Against guns, but will call guys with guns to help them. And they wonder why we think they are devoid of rational thought.

Dialing 911 (soon) is not likely to be an option left to you. Thugs know that cellphones have value, often contain cameras, even some personal information about the victim for later use and will be soon be used by the victim to ask for police assistance. Showing the perps that you have a cellphone is not a good idea.

Stop it with that logic! You're making too much sense and scaring the sheep away.
 
Re: Homeowner in Renisha McBride's killing to face murder charges

If you live somewhere cops are not present or reliable, then having a few guns in the home only makes sense. If you live right next to the police station or in a small community with a police force that will respond in 3 minutes, then a barking dog and cell phone will do ya.

Nothing to do with anything I said.

Self-defense existed before stand you ground. No one is saying you can't act in self-defense. But, if you're in your car, engine started, and those same three guys banged on your car yelling insults at you, you shouldn't have the right to roll down your window and start shooting them. Drive the **** away if you can!

Now if they block your car in and you can't leave, by all means, let the massacre begin. You shouldn't have to leave your car and start running to justify your self-defense.

Take the car out of the equation. Say, you're a subject of NYC (see what I did there). Now obviously, in NYC, the only people that are allowed to carry guns are cops, celebrities, the connected few, and criminals.

You're walking down the street, presumably back to your place from friends house, 5 blocks. You have no car. Not unheard of, actually it's the norm there. Same situation happens. You're now confronted with the choice to retreat, potentially being stabbed in the back, tackled, etc....this is a real issue. Obviously, in NYC, guns are a nono, knives are the same deal. NYC is dark, loaded with trash, alleys, dark places. You could be murdered and not found for quite some time. They know this, and they know that if you get a good look at them, your life is far more valuable to them extinguished than able to hit them in a line-up. Tackled from behind, as a female with even just one perp on you, the odds are stacked against you, major. NYPD blue is not there to save the day unless they know what is happening, and even then, let's say response time was 10 minutes....ever been in a fight? I have. Most last between 5 - 20 seconds and result in someone being incapacitated to some degree. An attack is a whole different form of brutality. It's savage, fast, and typically perpetrated by a seasoned criminal not afraid of going that 'extra mile' to make sure they remain free and on the streets. If you've ever been a victim of one, or even seen a video of a mugging/assault/whatever, this is not a square up and go punch for punch street fight. There are no rules, there is no soft landing mat, no gloves. These self defense courses people take assume you see the person coming. They are in front of you. You can grab their right wrist and mr. miogi them into a judo throw. Real life doesn't work like that. In real life, you went to grab his wrist with some unrealistic joe-kwon-dough (clever ey?) move you learned at the YMCA, and took about 6 stabs to the lower abdomen, and one to the arm. Better hope that brachial artery isn't slashed, otherwise things are going to start getting real fuzzy soon. Can't see that phone screen? No kidding slapshot, you're experiencing massive blood loss and your suffering from cerebral hypoxia. You'll pass out soon enough, don't worry, you literally won't remember a thing, ever.

People look at the world through foggy, naive glasses. There is real evil out there. The law is nothing more than an illusion, a suggestion to promote law and order with the wishful thinking that people will follow it. There is no magical bloomberg bubble, blue lights and ambulances don't show up when it goes down, there will be no backup to help. You'll be another number, a small folder on a detectives desk to add to the pile, your family will be upset, and you'll be extremely dead.

OR...

You don't run. You're armed. You have an even playing field and you can defend yourself. These lovely young upstanding members of society that 'were just turning their lives around' have no idea what bees nest they just stepped on. You're no longer dead. You live to see another day, go home to your family, play Parcheesi in peters parlor with patricia and patrick, partaking in the....something that begins with P.

This is how the world really works. The weak are prey, the strong survive. In a world of wolves, you need teeth (sharp ones ideally). I'm not paranoid, I don't walk around with bugged out eyes with my hand on my gun all sweaty and weirded out, waiting for this theoretical gang of killers to come and rob me for my Tag and shoes. I am however, a realist. I realize that the crime stats in this country (in urban areas primarily) are not exactly stellar. I made a conscious decision to even the playing field by carrying wherever I go. Don't want to get eaten by the wolves? Act/think like one, grow some teeth, you'll at least have a fighting chance....or run/hide/roll up into a ball and please, take your chances, let me know how it goes.

As for shooting out of the car, highly discourage that. First of all, only 1/12 handgun shootings result in a fatality. You do NOT want this guy bringing up a civil case, or worse, his/her family. You'll spend your kids college fund and an equity loan trying to keep yourself out of jail. More advisable, use that damn car. I'll take 3500+ lbs of metal for mounting a defense any day of the week over a pistol if the car is in drive and ready to rock. Best defense is a good offense. My car fits the bill.

Re: Homeowner in Renisha McBride's killing to face murder charges

From what I hear about this story, it seems this girl knocked on his door and was shot. That is murder. For this to be anything other than murder he would need a have had a reason to shoot her. Some type of threat would have to be established. Knocking on a door is not a threat. Doesnt matter if you dont know who they are, or the time of day or night. Knocking on a door, even drunken strangers in the middle of the night, is not adequate provocation to shoot someone.

We don't know what she was doing when he opened the door.
 
Re: Homeowner in Renisha McBride's killing to face murder charges



History proves how right you are. Those damn South blacks having a right to self defense? Look at what happened after African-Americans were given legal right to protect themselves from the KKK? We need to return to when people don't have a right to stand their ground, particularly against racially oriented harassment and attacks. Like you say, when white folks tell blacks to get out of their neighborhood they better git going!:roll:
 
Re: Homeowner in Renisha McBride's killing to face murder charges


I get my information from the FBI crime database. You know, that little thing compiled by information provided by every local/state/federal police department in the country.

As for the "right", see my leaning? I'm not a member of the right. Couldn't be further from it.

You do realize you just utilized NPR/southern center/ny-metro/and a left owned and operated legal 'source', as a source, and you're talking about bias? I'm utilizing raw, compiled numbers. CDC and FBI. Not exactly debatable or up for interpretation.

Again, not right wing. I doesn't get more 'down to the details' than the crime database. Probably the only thing the FBI gets right. The number of times guns are used in self defense (being either shot, drawn, or otherwise) cannot be completely clear, because often times the issue itself is unreported or dismissed. Estimated FBI numbers are between 230,000 and 300,000 times per year. Attempted assaults, rapes, home invasions, etc etc etc you get the picture.
How many times did instances such as Renisha McBride occur?

No we dont. And going forward something may come out that changes my mind. But without knowing what she was doing, that sounds like murder. There is another thread on the polls page where someone posted the standard in which Michigan qualifies murder 2. Part of it stated "a killing caused by dangerous conduct and the offender's obvious lack of concern for human life". That seems to be the case here. This guy opened his door and pointed it at her face then claimed he "accidently" pulled the trigger. I dont buy that. If you point a gun at someones face with your finger on the trigger there is no more accident.

Why? Best defense is a good offense. If I'm attacked, yeah, I'm going on the offensive.

As for needing a gun to feel strong? Not sure what you mean there. I need a gun because they have guns. I want to even the playing ground. You can go pound your chest and clinch your fists all you want. They have a knife, and have no intention of dropping it. Personally, I walk around worried about nothing and I sleep soundly at night.

Marine Corp says: Always cheat; always win. If you walk away, it was a fair fight. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
I suppose they are weak as well by your logic.
