You don't know what actually happened, so stop trying to assume facts not in evidence. The articles are full of misinformation and outright bullshit, (which anyone should be able to see) calls of racism and calls against SYG laws.
No real dialog will result from this nonsense. SYG laws do not give license to people to kill at will, as some would have you believe. That's just sensationalism bullshit, like everything about this case.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
As an aside I wonder how many blacks killed blacks last night......
Why doesn't any one ever rage on about that?
READ and be less Ignorant.
What am I missing here?
(1) Except as provided in subsection (2), it is a rebuttable presumption in a civil or criminal case that an individual who uses deadly force or force other than deadly force under section 2 of the self-defense act has an honest and reasonable belief that imminent death of, sexual assault of, or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another individual will occur if both of the following apply:
MMO-Champ the place where calling out trolls get you into more trouble than trolling.
though sarcasm you actually have a point, most robbers now a days will indeed bang on doors etc, sometimes for 10-20 minutes, all in to make sure no one is actually home.
then they break in and pilfer without need to be super sneaky, those pesky pets usually get stomped
sorry, stuff like people banging on doors, and house burglaries have been on the neighborhood watch site often recently.
Still I cry, tears like pouring rain, Innocent is my lurid pain.
The two conditions:
(a) The individual against whom deadly force or force other than deadly force is used is in the process of breaking and entering a dwelling or business premises or committing home invasion or has broken and entered a dwelling or business premises or committed home invasion and is still present in the dwelling or business premises, or is unlawfully attempting to remove another individual from a dwelling, business premises, or occupied vehicle against his or her will.
(b) The individual using deadly force or force other than deadly force honestly and reasonably believes that the individual is engaging in conduct described in subdivision (a).

Except, that didn't happen. Read something other than Jezebel.
Just to make sure we are on the same page. I don't believe this person has any case (with the info we have) to be able to support self defense.
He/She should and most likely will be charged with murder.

Where does it say they don't have to prove any of this?

I'll reiterate at how ignorant you sound, by making assumptions off something you probably know little about other than what a biased website feeds you.
Until more actual facts are brought forth, from a reliable and legitimate source- it's pretty hard to make any claims.
With that said though, the entire situation would really depend on the first thing I do is call the cops. If someone is beating and banging at windows, and I don't think anyone is coming in at least immediately- sure I'd try to call the cops, but I'd also sit it out inside the house with my gun. I would never go to the door, and open it if that was the case.
If she was indeed knocking, and being a normal person, then send that bastard to the electric chair. But like I said- that website is completely biased and I don't know if those are the actual facts. And it honestly sounds like they are just trying to ignite more racial tension.
OK, in a few months this will get some publicity. People will rally around it like it's the next civil rights movement and many more people will share their opinion's on random black people getting gunned down by white people without actually looking at the case file. discussion on this topic isn't worth continuing unless a major leak occurs and we get WAY more information.
Also if this goes down anything like the zimmerman bit, many people will get assaulted or something and no one will give a shit even though it fits the same parameters as this case.
Since you're just here to assume all kinds of crazy shit about this case, why don't we assume he was covered in swastikas and was a member of the local KKK?
He probably enjoyed torturing small animals as well.
They are relevant, and we don't have a credible source answering those questions, so it's stupid to assume we know the answers.
