Stand Your Ground!!

When I initially heard this story, I thought justice was swift.  As I learned more and saw the video footage, I had second thoughts.  Oklahoma has a "Stand Your Ground" law, protecting a home/business owner's right to defend themselves.

Here's the news report of the charges being filed and the store's surveillance tape.

In the northeast US, he would be charged with manslaughter, and never first degree murder. That level of charge seems too high, but I know OK is a different world and justice is handled differently. Quite a story.

I am not going to vote in the poll because first degree murder is not what I would give him, however what he did was not self defense.
