ORIGINAL: erieangel If so, I wonder what will come of this. I do feel that Zimmerman fans should support this man as well, the circumstances are almost identical. White man thought black kid was up to no good...recent break ins...kid is dead...Oh this kid was shot in the back!! The break in happened while he was at school!! The shooter is a 75 yr. old man!!! http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/family-friends-of-shooting-victim-recall-a-loving-teen-ps5kvgi-156849655.html Wisconsin does have a "Stand your ground" law, sort of. They have law on self defense adopted under the "Castle Doctrine". Does this apply to matter at hand. Well for me, I would say no, some other would say yes. Spooner first of all blamed the kid for a thieft of handgun. Spooner never did report this to police. Nor did Spooner have any reason to suspect Darius, but taking in the trash cans is a sure sign of criminal activity. The Castle Doctrine was created to allow home owner to protect their property, which Spooner was, he was on Larry property at the time, but he had to protect himself, Wisconsin does have a concealed weapons law allowing people to carry, I don't know if Spooner had a permit, but he had the right. So Spooner well within his rights shot the kid, soon to gang banger, soon to drug addict, soon to be a harden criminal, twice in back. I am sure the NRA will hold Spooner as another shining example of how the right to carry weapons, stopped another vicious criminal, saved lives, kept his community safe and proved once more that they have the right to carry guns and shoot who ever the dam well please. One last thing, the number of children being killed by handguns is growing.
