What if Desmonte Leonard claims the Stand Your Ground defense?

The Auburn Police Chief signed 3 warrants charging Desmonte Leonard (above) with capital murder.
Let me begin by expressing my deepest sympathy to the parents, friends, and relatives of the deceased and injured young people involved in the tragedy in Auburn.  It's every parents worst nightmare to send their students off to college and have them return home in a body bag,

I also want to express my sympathy to the parents, friends and relatives of Desmonte Leonard (not to be confused with sympathy for Desmonte Leonard) for the pain they are suffering as the result of his actions.  It's also every parents nightmare to have your child be the focus of a police manhunt, accused of a heinous crime.  It's a tragedy.

Never let it be said black folks don't speak out against black on black crime like the Auburn tragedy.  I submit we could stop a lot of the black on black crime if the white law makers and their lobbyist pals didn't make guns more accessible than a quality public education, and give black folks a license to kill each other,

Maybe if all the people at the pool party had been armed they could have protected themselves from Desmonte Leonard.  Snark

It's not an Auburn University Football problem, it's an easy access to guns problem.

That said, as some of you may know, Alabama has the Stand Your Ground defense, or as I like to call it, the I felt threatened so I shot them law.

I've always said the quickest way to repeal  Stand Your Ground laws is for the situation to reverse, and Al Sharpton and Company tell  black folks to arm themselves and start Standing Their Ground.
