and there's the dodge reply again.
do you even realize the shit storm that setting legal precedent like this would bring? basically any time someone "feels threatened" it would allow them to use lethal force.
IE Travon
Many states have stand your ground laws. Running over someone that hasn't personally threatened you is morally wrong to me. Flee yes. Stand your ground yes. Castle law applied to vehicle yes.
It still isn't right to use the lethal force of your vehicle to run someone over that is standing there.
imagine he pulled a gun and shot the guy in the chest before driving off. Does that sit differently with you people? Its the same thing. If he shot someone that was attempting to get into his vehicle that would be ok. Same as if he ran him over.
Lets also refrain from pretending that the beating and vandalism sensationalized by the media was going to happen whether he ran that guy over or not.
It was a direct response to watching the friend get run over. It was blood rage. Nothing else would make a guy like that drop his bike on the ground. That I can promise. He was ready to go to jail at that point.
By running that guy over he escalated the situation drastically. That is what I was talking about in my last post.
And JDH, I see lots of sportbike riders acting like that. Always remember that they are taking their own life in their hands when they do that shit, not yours. You are safe in your 3000-80000lb vehicle. Keep on as you normally would. That is the best thing you can do.
