The hypothetical "If only Trayvon had a gun" actually came true. LOL Florida.

[TSA]

http://www.opposingviews.com/i/society/guns/justified-under-stand-your-ground-choir-director-armed-stick-being-fatally-shot


No homicide charges will be filed against a 17-year-old teen who fatally shot a community choir director in the face with an illegal gun, prosecutors said Tuesday. The shooting is considered justified under Florida's stand-your-ground law because the 40-year-old victim, Julius Jerome Jacobs, was carrying a large stick.

The state attorney’s office in Marion Country said that, although Tyrone Pierson possessed the gun illegally and although his friend managed to escape the same confrontation by fleeing the scene, Pierson is protected under SYG. He was therefore not under any obligation to attempt to retreat before using deadly force.

Jacobs’ family is unhappy with the decision.

"He's getting away with murder," said Jacobs’ cousin, Lateria Myhand.

Myhand and another cousin, Rashundra Grimsley-Robinson, said the father of five was a not a violent person.

"It isn't fair to just shoot him in the face like that," Grimsley-Robinson said. "How does a 17 year old get a gun? I could understand if he had a stick. It wasn't a fair fight. If there was any time to pray, it's now."

Two of Pierson’s friends who witnessed the July 5 incident said they were walking down the street when Jacobs, driving at high speed “almost hit” them with his SUV. Pierson yelled at Jacobs, who slowed down and had a “hostile exchange” with Pierson.

The teens say Jacobs then pulled over into a driveway and spoke to someone. They assumed it was a drug exchange.

The teens continued on their walk, when Jacobs later drove up to them again, got out of his SUV, and swung a heavy stick in their direction. He allegedly yelled at Pierson.

One of the teens ran away. Pierson confronted Jacobs and shot him.

In a memo published by ThinkProgress, the prosecutors teased out how in another state Pierson would have had a duty to retreat.

“Under traditional self-defense rules, Mr. Pierson may have been required to retreat as Mr. Smith and Mr. Crim were able to safely do. Given the other two people with Mr. Pierson avoided the conflict by fleeing, it is not unreasonable to assume Mr. Pierson could have done also,” the memo said. “However, in 2005, the Florida Legislature substantially amended chapter 776, Florida Statutes, by a series of enactments collectively known as the stand-your-ground Law.”

Prosecutors said they will charge Pierson with two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm and evidence tampering – he initially lied about the location of the gun.

Can't believe I grew up in that shithole state.

Surprised this isn't getting much media coverage. Who would have thought. :lol

[UZER]

This is why you dont stupid shit like this. You never know who has a gun. Better to live your life than die out of stupidity. regardless of who was right or not, you dont wanna end up dead. If the story is true, then this dude deserved what he got. Shot in the face is a little excessive, but hey, you put yourself in that situation.

And the family saying its not fair, your husband didnt have to get out of the truck. He could've just kept on driving and been home eating dinner, just like Trayvon could've kept on walking and been eating dinner. Dont be stupid just to prove a point.

Sometimes you have to just take the high road and leave. Don't be all "someone pissed me off so I'm gonna go settle the score or tell them how I feel". Accept defeat and walk away. Doing that will likely save your life or at least help your chances. The Zimmerman case should be a learning lesson for everyone. You need to stay in your car. Do not get out of your car and try to be a hero or a wannabe or a moral compass. Keep on driving.

Yeah i did. The kid coulda run but he stayed and shot a guy in the face.

Yeah i did. The kid coulda run but he stayed and shot a guy in the face.

he stood his ground just like trayvon did.

Yeah, but he just shot a black guy. If he had shot a white/hispanic they would have thrown the book at him.

True. No need for the blue font. I doubt Trayvon would've got off if he had the gun in dumbass racist Florida.

Props to TSA for being a big enough person to admit he was wrong

[Katherine Robinson]

It's good to see people standing their ground like Zimmerman had done.

[CubanSucks]

lmao assuming the friend's story us true I don't see the issue. Not too good of an idea to swing a big stick at someone. Fuck him.

What's even better is some of you trying to compare this to zimmerman. This kid wasn't on the ground, mounted, with a broken nose, being punched, he was on his feet when he saw that the other person posed a threat.

too easy :wakeup


he stood his ground just like trayvon did.

And then there was that whole punching and mounting thing he did...What did traytray stand his ground against, a creepy ass cracker annoying him? lol try harder

[TSA]

True. No need for the blue font. I doubt Trayvon would've got off if he had the gun in dumbass racist Florida.

C'mon doggie I know you aren't this stupid. This happened in Florida and he got off. Blacks in Florida use stand your ground more than whites and are more successful using it too.

I figured the purpose of this thread was to admit you were wrong.

I guess I was wrong.

[TSA]

How about stating what you think I was wrong about so we can see if I was wrong and I will happily admit I was wrong.

[Blake]

Ugh. I'm not saying you're wrong at all.

it was just a guess as to why you started this thread

[Blake]

Told you so.

What thread did you tell him so

:lol pathetic

[TSA]

Told you so.

It almost played out like what we were talking about the other day, but the difference here is that this kid was actually physically threatened by someone, unlike Trayvon. I'm curious to see what kind of punishment this kid will receive for under age firearm possession.

[Blake]

:lol pathetic

you don't know where your own thread originated from. I'm betting CD can easily find where he told you so.

Then we can see if you were wrong.

And if so, then we can see if you are going to own your wrongness or fight it

There wasn't a thread dedicated to this conversation, and as I said earlier I think it is buried somewhere in the Trayvon Martin thread. Your obsession with trying to prove me wrong is quite entertaining. Hope Chump can help you out on this as I imagine it would be an awesome way to kick off your weekend with an internet victory.

I persoanlly don't think it's happened where a black has killed a white and been found not guilty based on SYG, but I don't particularly care enough to look it up. That's why I asked if anyone had an example.
