he instead fired straight into the 1992 Honda of Darrell Niles, who was unarmed. Niles was killed instantly. You would expect the bullet to take a round about route?

I think your comprehension is lacking somewhat My orginal link stated They later drove past Scott’s house in an SUV. But when Scott walked out of his house with a handgun to confront the “women thugs,” as he described them, he instead fired straight into the 1992 Honda of Darrell Niles, who was unarmed. Niles was killed instantly. My second link stated Smith then saw Niles’ 1992 Honda, and, believing its occupants posed a danger, fired his gun from his front yard across the street, hitting Niles in the head with a .380 bullet, killing him instantly. No evidence indicated Niles was a threat to Scott or his daughter.

Niles should have had a machine gun mounted on his car with a bloke ready to fire it at anyone who appeared on the sidewalk with a gun. All cars in the USA should be like that by law and they would be were it not for fucking liberals and their political correctness. [:'(]

quote: Perhaps Scott’s daughter and Scott himself reasonably believed that a car full of teen girl bullies were a threat to their lives. Even so, since when is it acceptable for a parent to point their loaded gun at child bullies? The fact that Scott, an adult, felt immediately inclined to resolve a dispute between children by shooting at them is criminal. I'm not going to justify the shooting of Niles. Personally I'm a bit surprised Scott isn't up for a manslaughter charge. I agree with SYG laws, but I also think you should hit what you aim at and be damn sure that you're shooting at the right target. Unlike what some people think, (I believe it was DarkSteven who advanced this idea) it's impossible to always hit what you're aiming at. The Army only requires you to hit 57% of the time (23 out of 40) with an M16 to qualify. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be held responsible for where your rounds go. What I take offense to is the idea that an adult should refrain from confronting armed persons who are assaulting their family. These "girls" bullied Scott's daughter earlier in the day. They then fired rounds into his home, endangering everyone inside. Scott then went outside to defend his family. He made a mistake, but that doesn't mean he was wrong in his attempt to defend his home and family. If a "child" is old enough to acquire a gun and participate in a drive-by, they're old enough to take the consequences. If someone is shooting at me, I'm not going to take the time to figure out their age before returning fire. There's an old adage about Samuel Colt being the great equalizer. Well that goes even more so for modern weapons. If you're able to pull the trigger and absorb the recoil, then you're a danger regardless of your age. A child with a weapon is dangerous. Depending on the weapon, maybe not as dangerous as an adult, but still. I went shooting with a friend and his sons. (12 & 13) Both kids were decent shots, and the 12yo was actually considerably better then his father. At one point he was trying a .357 magnum, and put 3 rounds in the 9 ring at 15'. None of the shots were outside the 8. When I was in my 20s, my mother used to baby-sit in her home. One day I stopped one of the girls from carving her name in our furniture. I took a screwdriver away from her and let my mother know. Later the girl (who was 8-9), hid behind a counter in our kitchen and tried to stab me in the back with a steak knife. I wound up spraining her wrist and bunking her head into the fridge when I disarmed her. The parents threatened me with a lawsuit and the police. The only thing that saved me was she tried to stab her Grandmother a few days later when she didn't want to go to bed on time. So I fail to see how someone who's under 18 can be automatically dismissed as a threat by so many people.

Where are they? Didn't one of the earlier posts state that rounds were fired at the house? Pardon me, it's "conflicted" as to whether or not rounds were fired. Scott just had a premonition that he should rush out to his front yard armed. Regardless, my first paragraph stated that I didn't agree with the judgement in this particular incident. Was that somehow unclear? What I was stating is that I hate when people get so worked up because a "child" is shot. It doesn't matter what the child in question is doing at the time. He could be armed with a gun or knife and in the middle of a drive-by or mugging, but how dare an adult confront this poor child. I was pointing out that a child who's armed can indeed be a danger.

Think for a moment. This is a three year old case. Does anyone truly believe this hasn't been investigated to death? Does anyone truly believe that the isn't a lot more to this than a three paragraph story printed because they don't approve of self defense and in particular SYG?

in the previous version you quetioned my comprehension skills ok so here the link, which is in the article you posted from think progress http://www.heraldonline.com/2013/10/09/5291031/stand-your-ground-sc-judge-grants.html that is from the LOCAL news, which gives a far less biased view of the events TIMELINE FOR APRIL 18, 2010 shooting: A 15-year-old girl and five friends leave a nightclub just after midnight They are pursued by four young women in an SUV. They arrive home and tell her father, Shannon Scott, they’re in danger. Shots are fired from the street. The friends run inside. Armed with a gun, Shannon Scott goes to the front yard. Scott fires several times. Bystander Darrell Niles, 17, in a separate car, is killed. that is from the LOCAL news, which give a far less biased view of the events that is from the LOCAL news, which give a far less biased view of the events you didn't see it because you chose to only read and/or post the think progress version honestly I had a hard time finding ANY article that gave any real details of the case that were not biased
