I have no idea how someone could have a problem with stand your ground. If someone attacks you and they're stronger/faster than you, and have you pinned, or you csnt get away what do you do?
Even if you manage to call the cops A) They're gonna show up after things have run its course, B) The assailant will probably be gone, and C) You might be in a trunk by then.
Are you just supposed to pay your hospital bills, get robbed, or get murdered? Also isnt self defense already an absolute defense to murder/assault?
Not that I agree with the guy above...thats a severe overreaction.
Full disclosure: I (a white guy) have been the victim of race based violence in E dallas. I defended myself with a knife I carry and my hands, and got away. One was too injured to flee, and him and his buddies paid my hospital bills once he dimed them.
But what if I hadnt had a weapon at the time? Would they have stopped at all? Or would I just be saddled with 10k in hospital bills and my identity/wallet being stolen?
