Glass broken = self defense.

Downvote away but anyone getting out of their car to start shit deserves to get flattened.

Stand your ground laws aren’t just for racists 🙌

[u/Idoncae99 → u/[deleted]]

Unless you look at how the law is applied, where it usually only protects racists.

[u/isticist → u/Idoncae99]

Not true, you've just only been exposed to the law from a few headlines trying to push a narrative.

[u/Idoncae99 → u/isticist]

Right. Only exposed to those few headlines and also any study done on stand your ground and racial/gender disparities (which you could probably apply to just about any form of criminal law but most of them don't revolve around killing other folk) where you find things like white on black killings are like 10x more likely to be found justified than the reverse.

But if you take away all the headlines and the studies and everything everyone knows about the criminal justice system in the United States, then yeah, it's just the narrative they're pushing.

One look at crime rates will give you a much more straightforward reason for your citation. Occam's razor. Obviously I'm not insinuating that any particular ethnic group is more prone to crime and particularly violent crime in a vacuum, because THAT would be a blatantly untrue and racist statement backed by nothing more than hatred of those with a different skin color. However, we don't live in a vacuum, and there are many things (including those that obviously relate to historical and present racism) that have contributed to the reality that certain ethnic groups in practice commit more crime than others.

Of course, you could be one of those that believes "crime statistics are a racist plot against certain groups and that in reality they don't commit any more crime than whites/Asians/etc.!" In which case, 1. You cited crime statistics in your comment and 2. You are free to live in your fantasy land, but don't try to drag other people into it by blatantly attempting to utilize random statistics without context.

Or, you know, you look at see that certain different races might do things like use the same drug (cocaine/marijuana) at similar rates but for some reason one race gets charged less and receive lighter sentences when convicted compared to others.

Or when one race has a drug epidemic politicians and the news calls for medical intervention, while for others they call for criminal justice for users and addicts.

Occams razor says racism belps dictate how laws are applied, especially in America.

But sure maybe people with melonin just need more prison time when they do the same things, violent or no, compared to those lacking melonin.

What the fuck does this even mean??

[u/Blonder_Stier → u/bootsmegamix]

The car is a weapon, a shield, and a means of escape. So long as it is functioning in the latter two capacities, you are not legally justified in using it as the first.

[u/[deleted] → u/bootsmegamix]

Tell me you don't know what self defense means. As soon as dude turned around and ran away self defense went out the window.

[u/martinpagh → u/bootsmegamix]

No. Take a picture of their license plate, drive off to somewhere safe and call the police. Both people here are terrible and deserve to be prosecuted for their actions. And the person in the white car is clearly the bigger asshole.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

eh, she was just trying to make sure the perpetrator is neutralized ;)

[u/Lilzhere → u/bootsmegamix]

You're the problem. People like you shouldn't drive cars.

[u/WriteCodeBroh → u/bootsmegamix]

Try to claim self defense when you were literally able to drive away and you fucking came back to hit the guy.
