I doubt we’ll ever get anywhere near consensus on the Trayvon Martin case. I think those who think Zimmerman is a hero will believe that no matter what the evidence proves. Those that say that Martin was the victim will never believe he provoked the incident.

In this case, we should be much closer to consensus.

The attached videotape clearly shows two assailants entering an internet café with intent to rob patrons. One of the patrons decides to stand up for himself and pulls out a gun and starts firing. He chases the criminals out of the café. Later on both assailants end up at the hospital, and are later charged with armed robbery.

Personally I don’t know that I agree that standing your ground includes chasing criminals while shooting them, however I feel absolutely no sympathy for the criminals whatsoever. They got exactly what they deserved.

So what does the DYes community think about this application of the Stand Your Ground law in Florida and other states?
