FLORIDA'S CASTLE DOCTRINE. ONE REASON I LOVE LIVING IN FLA.

Any thoughts? Good, Bad. Or ugly ? While I do think the shooter in Houston murdered the kid that "Ding dong ditched" his home (called it something different when i was a kid). I believe this allows a little room for the punks that are kicking front doors off the hinges. Also applies to your automobile and lodging, motel etc...


Florida's "castle doctrine" is an extension of the common law principle that allows people to use reasonable force, including deadly force, to defend themselves against intruders in their homes. In 2005, Florida expanded the doctrine with "stand your ground" language, removing the duty to retreat in any place where someone is legally present. Here's what to know about Florida's castle doctrine:

  • Defense
    It allows the use of deadly force to defend against an intruder who is likely to cause great bodily harm.

  • Application
    It applies to dwellings, residences, and occupied vehicles.

  • Presumption
    There's a presumption that someone entering a dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle intends to commit a violent crime.

  • Reasonable belief
    To claim the defense, a person must have a reasonable belief of impending death or great bodily harm.

  • Burden of proof
    The defendant must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that they acted in self-defense.

I'm all for it. I wish it was adopted and enacted into law by the feds nationwide.
 
Pranks when I was growing up. Not say I did them, but this was the usual
- dog poop in a lunch sack brown bag.. light it on fire and ring bell. Owner would stomp on flaming poo to put it out
- snag the “ home for sale” realtor signs from yards and put every one of them in one yard of a house for sale. Need a friend with truck.
- toilet paper the trees with about 10 people and 30 rolls of tissue. Looked like snow
- apply axle grease to every outside door knob you could get to at the rivalry High School.
- if it snowed, build a giant snowman “male manhood” at the rivalry HS front lawn
-find the school ISD superintendent house at the end of the year and get anyone and everyone to stack your schoolbooks on their front yard. It could get to the thousands if you could be quiet enough.. lots of kids got involved

There are many more…
None required being shot at in the ‘80s 🙂

The 80's, and before, and a bit after was a different time. The 1968 "DNC" Chicago Riots happened in ONE city compared to the Summer of mostly peaceful demonstrations of late. I'm not saying that the little brat should have been shot, but at least for now I lean to defense of the homeowner.
