keenan think Alstyne shot
a sheriff's deputy I who
was pursuing a robbery suspect he was not pursuing keenan finkelstein
but he ran across quinones property and can got nervous and then shot the guy
and so in his defense
he said stand your ground well turns out the Stand Your Ground law has a
a a paragraph in at the says the the person against whom the defensive forces
used
is a law enforcement officer I as defined in 1943
who enters our attempts to enter a drawing residents are vehicle in the
performance of his or her
official bodies not so identifies himself or herself a call with any
applicable law
or the person using force me or reasonably should know the person
entering are attempting
to I was a law enforcement officer that person that
you can't you stand your ground against the law enforcement officer
but this from mom
addicting and fathers an article by Nathaniel dollars
downs he says but the law is so broadly written that aside from an actual police
officers
all others are fair game including judges and lawyers
so let's say guys up for capital fats
kill somebody kills his wife kills his brother kill some but it's a
some guy down the street whatever annie goes into court
and the and there's the Florida death penalty state
she was the court and the judge and the prosecutor
are trying to kill this guy now
the under stand your ground he is now at reasonable fear for his life
right cuz if the prosecutor and the judge her successful
he will get a lethal injection are some you know he'll be killed
so
a it would be a legal defense
so it is so here reading this piece is this is facing the death penalty he
could use the
is in the Stand Your Ground law to kill both the prosecutor using pursuing the
death penalty and the judge overseeing the case and would be a legal defense
for the killing there's nothing within Florida law preventing such a scenario
were even more so imagine someone is having their medical care denied by a
politician
who has voted to expand was refuses directed to bow to expand Medicaid
state this is truly a threat to life under the law
it standard on is cracked would that not be permitted to *** a politician
all without recrimination now
you know obviously I think that this is an absurd argument that I don't think
that it would stand up in court
and Ben but that said
it demonstrates how how
crazy this law was constructed I just
absolutely flat out crazy
