Not sure if you've seen some the Stand Your Ground defenses that have worked down there and in other states, but many juries in Florida have very, very loosely interpreted what constitutes "threatened with deadly force". Yeah, we all seem to think from the details of this case it's a straight up cold blooded murder, but I thought that in some other cases and the killer got off with Stand Your Ground.

 

People seem to have wildly differing views on what constitutes a "deadly threat" and what justifies someone in killing that person to "protect themselves" with a firearm.

 

A few examples: https://www.propublica.org/article/five-stand-your-ground-cases-you-should-know-about

 

your source is a bit biased.  Most aren't from Florida, and one of the 5 is from a state without a "stand your ground" law.

Previous thread on this was removed.   There were also two sites which were non-professional made sites one which was copying other sites for content and many tags to try to being GoFundMe site found more often on search sites; they are gone.  Initial site stated he was from Buffalo but he is from Hollywood, Florida. Somebody was trying to amp donations.  

 

 

Today there is article on CBS News:

Vehicle from Sunday's deadly shooting near Hard Rock Stadium found

Quote

According to the GoFundMe Page, Isaac, who was a Buffalo fan, was walking through traffic with friends after the Bills' win and got into an argument with a man who tried to hit them with his vehicle. When the man tried to drive off, Isaac and company reportedly went after him. That's when the man stopped, got out, and shot Issacs, according to the GoFundMe page.

 

On Isaac's Facebook page, it said he was from Brantford, Ontario, and was living in Hollywood.

With the location of the vehicle, a suspect will soon be named.

 

I always felt it was just a matter of time before some gun nut ruined the tailgating experience with a mass shooting.

Has a bills fan ever murdered an opposing fan after a  game? Florida people are ummm different.  The culture they're fostering especially in South Florida is embarrassing. 

 

How do you know the shooter was from Florida ? S. Fla has a ton of transplants as well as immigrants. 

 

We're hearing now that the shooting had nothing to do with the game and more to do with road rage.

Yeah, there were crowds all over that area.  Given authorities have located the vehicle, should just be a matter of time before this criminal is behind bars, and hopefully for a long time.  

The only silver lining is Florida has Capital Punishment and they do use it in situations such as this.

OK …. Somehow road rage is a better basis to kill someone?  The whole premise is off.

Right.  Whether the person is angry because the Dolphins lost, they’re stuck in traffic, both, or whatever else, clearly the person has anger issues and mental health problems.

Huh ? Never OK to kill anyone for any reason.

You don’t have a defense for murder when someone is touching your vehicle.

 

Cripes.

 

Agreed, but reading about some of the crazy cases where people have gotten away with murder in stand your ground states, it shows that there is never a sure thing. Often depends on the personal beliefs of the jury.

"The law removes a person’s duty to retreat before using deadly force against another in any place he has the legal right to be – so long as he reasonably believed he or someone else faced imminent death or great bodily harm". 

 

The shooter can't make this argument vs an unarmed pedestrian.  It's road rage--as simple and tragic as that is.

It's a law very similar to SYG. Splitting hairs on that. Not sure how you think the source is biased. It just lists 5 cases and strictly the facts of what each case was and the result. Those 5 are just a sampling. I mean if you want to argue that those are aberrations from the statistical norm or something, that's an argument. But that doesn't make the cases listed in that article untrue. There's also a lot more information available to you with a quick google search on other cases where people were shot while running away, shot when there wasn't an imminent threat to the killer's life, etc.

Yeah I agree it probably wouldn't fly in this case. But what you are highlighting has also been disregarded by juries in other SYG cases. There are times when people were shot while fleeing, and they still made arguments like "well they could have turned around and come back, so their life was still in danger" to let the killer off. It happens unfortunately.

Miami is just a conglomerate of good people morons, gangsters, uneducated, hypocrites, drunks, and racists. Went to a Dolphins game once to see the Bills and it will be the last time! I almost got into a fight in the “family” section!!   2 drunks (dolphins fans) were harassing a family, Bills fans, and I intervened. It was scary due to my family and I being seated up high, but I wasn’t going to punk out. Thankfully, security came to the rescue. Now, Jacksonville is a better stadium.
