THIS IS (TACITLY) SUPPORTED BY THE NRA, GLENN BECK & OTHER GASBAGS

A guy in Florida chased down a young man, killed him and later claimed self-defense.  In W. Virginia, two guys were looking over a plot of land one of them recently purchased and both were killed by a nearby resident "because he thought they were trespassing on his property." Also in Florida, a retire swat team officer killed a fellow movie patron for apparently throwing some popcorn at him:
Retired Tampa Police Captain Curtis Reeves claims a fellow patron, Chad Oulson, struck him in the face with an unknown object, which turned out to be popcorn:
Romine [defendant's lawyer] told 10 News stand your ground focuses on one thing: Did somebody do something to you where you felt you were going to be harmed? If so, even if it's popcorn, you have the right to defend yourself.
In fact, Romine admits the reason the two men fought doesn't even matter. It all boils to whether or not Curtis Reeves thought Chad Oulson would hurt him. In fact, it's considered a felony if a person over 65 is struck with something as small as a marshmallow.
