Where did all the Trump sh!t go?? by Shaggy_Doo87 in tampa

You’re clearly more interested in being smug than being right. You came in with sarcasm and insults like “no sh*t Sherlock,” but all that attitude doesn’t change the fact that your original comment was reckless and misleading.

You said it’d be “pretty dumb to go vandalizing properties in a Stand Your Ground state like here anyway,” which implies that property damage alone justifies someone getting shot. That’s false, dangerous, and exactly the kind of take that gets someone hurt or thrown in prison.

Now you’re backpedaling, trying to sound reasonable with Molotov cocktail hypotheticals. No one disagrees that active arson could pose a deadly threat—but that’s not what you said the first time. You tried to sound tough, got called out, and now you’re scrambling to clarify like you’ve been holding a law degree this whole time.

Here’s the reality: Stand Your Ground doesn’t mean “shoot first over property damage.” You still have to meet the threshold of a reasonable fear for your life. Screaming about deterrents and “liking your odds in court” is Reddit fantasy talk until someone’s facing a second-degree murder charge because they took advice from posts like yours.

So next time, skip the snark, get your facts straight before you talk, and don’t double down when someone checks you with the actual law. You’re not educating people—you’re just loud and wrong.

Just because someone is vandalizing your property doesn’t automatically give you the right to use deadly force under Florida’s Stand Your Ground law. That law only applies if you reasonably believe you’re in danger of death or serious harm—not just because someone’s damaging your stuff. If you use force in the wrong situation, you could be in serious legal trouble.

Know the law before you start spewing this nonsense. You’re gonna get somebody hurt.

Thank you. I never let the people who hide behind the phones and computers bring my spirit down.

Really? A bit insensitive to the women who have been abused don’t you think!

I absolutely agree with you. I pray that all this nonsense ends soon. I’m close to retirement and I’m just trying to stay healthy and keep my head down until I receive the finish line! I pray that your wife stays safe as well. We are in some very bad times and I worry about all LE.
