'Stand Your Ground' Linked To Increase In Homicides

Quote:

"One possibility for the increase in homicide is that perhaps [in cases where] there would have been a fistfight ... now, because of stand your ground laws, it's possible that those escalate into something much more violent and lethal," says Hoekstra.

It's important to remember that the data Hoekstra is analyzing depend on how police classify shootings. Police guidelines likely vary from state to state, and police in different places may be interpreting shootings differently in light of stand your ground laws.

Still, based on the available data, it appears that crafters of these laws sought to give good guys more latitude to defend themselves against bad guys. But what Hoekstra's data suggest is that in real-life conflicts, both sides think of the other guy as the bad guy. Both believe the law gives them the right to shoot.

sounds like fun :thumbsup

After a few people get prosecuted for being the aggressor, and a few people learn the hard way not to go fucking with other people, it will all sort itself out.

This reiterates what I posted last night regarding everyone, including the aggressor thinking they're in the right to shoot the other person in a conflict. Everyone said I was full of shit... now you can see some actual statistics behind my words.

I'll just sit back and wait it out. Eventually all the dummies will kill each other. Then I'll move in and bang all their widows.

Didn't read it and I don't get it but you should stand your ground. If that means using weapons, then oh well.
