Stand Your Ground

Un-fucking-believable.

Said it before. Say it again.

The law is overly broad and needs serious thought and refinement.

Soliciting opinions: what if she had fired the round through the floor instead of the wall and had endangered no one?

I get the impression the bullet must have whizzed by one of the kids' ears or something. I don't believe this is relevant if it didn't hit anyone. It obviously wasn't attempted murder even if it hit them. There was no crime after the gun was fired, during the firing ot before. The only crime would be some local ordinance about discharging a gun and it took place after she pulled the trigger and was not concurrent with an independent crime.

I see no justification whatsoever for leveling this charge on her. What kind of lawyer did she have? How does the court system always figure out a way to let the bad guys go and give normal people 20 years? The failure of the educational system will manifest more and more in other fields like justice as time goes by. We've already lost our manufacturing base due to a failed educational system and it's going to get far far worse.
