Another pogrom against a white person who defended herself from a violent racist black nutjob. The local thug fans will hope to make an example of her to discourage other white people from self-defense against feral black animals.
Correct me if I am wrong. In your opinion of course. However. The Stand Your Ground etc. Self Defense laws all provide for the right of self defense in an imminent threat.
How imminent can the threat be if the threat is on the other side of a closed and locked door? There is a literal barrier between the parties.
Second. The standard for the afraid of an imminent threat is called the Reasonable Person scenario isn’t it? Would the reasonable or average person be afraid in that scenario? This prevents people with phobias. A phobia is defined as unreasonable fear. This prevents those phobic people from being able to legally act on their fears. If I had a phobia of say midgets, I would not be legally justified in shooting them. The phobia you mention, an unreasonable fear of Black people is not justification. The Reasonable or average person isn’t petrified of darker skinned people.
I think the defense is going to have a hard time explaining to a jury that the threat was so extreme, so immediate, that the shooter had to fire through a closed and locked door at an unarmed individual.
I further think that the Jury is going to be reluctant to buy into this Phobia of yours that Dark Skinned people are just supernaturally powerful and should be shot for shouting through a closed and locked door.
