I dont see how exiting the car with a gun drawn qualifies as stand your ground. Had she stayed in the car and shot him for trying to enter it, yes obviously. In this case it doesnt look that straight forward to me. Im pretty sure if someone is unarmed and in my yard shouting threats at me, I cant go outside and shoot them. And thats on my own property.
Bingo. Stand your ground means you don’t have a duty to retreat in a self defense situation. It is not its own thing.
There’s 4 factors of self defense:
1. Innocence: you can’t start the fight. Who knows who actually started the argument, but, her getting in her car, then, getting out while brandishing a gun will lose this factor for her. Based on what’s known, she escalated what was a verbal spat to a life or death spat with a gun involved
2. Imminence- Is the deadly force threat happening or about to happen? I don’t see it. Was the guy following her? Yes. Was he being an A%&? Yes Was he ready to kill her or threatening to kill her? I don’t see it. He didn’t pull a gun, he didn’t pull a knife, he didn’t even ball his fists like he was going to punch her. He never touched her.
3. Proportionality - You can only match the force used against you in self defense. He was following her and talking trash. A response to that isn’t shooting him! Again, at no point did he touch her. Details matter, a lot in self defense cases
4. Reasonableness - she was in her car, a safe place, also part of the castle doctrine. Got out of it with her gun drawn to confront a man approaching her. Not what a reasonable person would do.
As I see it, she fails on all 4 factors. Prosecutor only has to prove 1 factor did not exist to get a conviction.

She doesn't help her case with that bullshite. The self-defense issue should have nothing to do with how someone "has to properly approach a black woman." Our society as a whole is getting too easy with using firearms to solve bullshite disputes.
. Personally, I think she is fricked.
1. Pulling a gun in a verbal altercation is a felony with a minimum 5 year sentence in Florida. This automatically loses self defense claims
2. Self defense law is very specific in every state - to use deadly force, you have to be under an IMMENENT deadly force threat. In all of the video’s, that is not the case.
Here’s what Florida says about stand your ground:
1. Stand Your Ground (Public Spaces)
Under Fla. Stat. § 776.012, you are legally permitted to meet force with force if you are in a place where you have a lawful right to be (such as a public street, park, or business) and are not actively engaged in criminal activity.
Non-Deadly Force: You can use or threaten non-deadly force if you reasonably believe it is necessary to defend yourself or someone else against another person's imminent use of unlawful force.
Deadly Force: You have no duty to retreat and can use or threaten deadly force if you reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm, or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony (such as armed robbery, carjacking, sexual battery, or burglary).
I don’t see IMMENENT death or bodily harm.

She lost self defense the moment she pulled a gun in what appears to be a verbal disagreement.
That is called assault with a deadly weapon which is a felony. Florida has mandatory 5-10-20 sentencing with gun crimes.
By pulling the gun, that’s an automatic 5.
By firing it, it is an automatic 10.
By hitting someone, it’s an automatic minimum 20

Yup. Once you pull a gun in a verbal altercation, you lose self defense justification

How can you call this an ambush? What a joke. She is standing there with her pistol and he aggressively comes at her. This is a clear stand your ground case and this woman should not face any criminal charges. She has NO duty to retreat and is exercising her 2A rights. Race has nothing to do with this and it would be a travesty for this woman to be prosecuted. Florida is a state that supports the Second Amendment and the right to defend yourself, which is all this woman was doing.
Tell us you have ZERO clue about how self defense laws work without telling us.
1. She committed a felony just by pulling a gun in a verbal altercation
2. At no point was she in danger of any unlawful deadly force from the victim

Dude had a death wish. Openly and brazenly confronting law enforcement WHILE ARMED with a gun is a horrifically stupid move. It’s the equivalent of downing 5 shots at a bar, getting into a Corvette, and driving 120 mph. You may get away with it a few times, but your luck WILL run out.

I would also add internal bleeding also doesn’t always show up immediately. My guess is he had a lingering issue and got it checked out in the last couple of days an it showed up in a scan.

Here’s the thing. Her reversing is what put the officer in danger in the first place. Her reversing is what put the officer in danger in the first place, Before she reversed. The officer was completely clear of any danger if she moved forward. When she reversed, at a minimum it would have opened up the angle putting the officer in the danger zone. But, her cutting the wheel to the left but the officer directly in front of the car.
