No one, not even his fiancé, can confirm his story. After the incident, he ran away and didn't call the police. According to the kids in the car, no one got out of the car.
Was the shooter really afraid? Or was he just full of hate? If he was afraid, what was he afraid of? If the kids said or did nothing except for being black and playing loud music, did he shoot at them because they were black? Is he afraid of people just because they are black? He shot something like 6 or 7 times at the car. He shot 3 or 4 times, then paused, then shot 3 or 4 times more. What state of mind was he in?
If no proof comes up, I really, really hope he goes to jail for this. If there's no gun, and if the kids didn't threaten him etc, and he basically acted out for no reason but still gets away with it thanks to the Stand your Ground Law, it will be a really sick, sad and twisted day, even worse than the day Zimmerman got away with murder.

you missed the point. The point is you don't research your viewpoint, you didn't look up and try to understand the stand your ground angle, you simply go by what's reported on it in the media you follow.
That's why I also included the fact that Stand your ground is a jury instruction across the entire USA and has been. It's not exclusive to Florida, it's not new. The media you follow has globbed onto it, consequently you have as well.
this reply of yours supports that.
