  2. I think this is a great thing. Some people may still retreat but if someone is being attacked on the street I would try to help them. You could be the difference of them being hurt/killed or living.

    1. Maybe they should start training kids defensive moves if they were being attacked and should know what to do.could be a huge part of life or death

    1. well if someone came and killed a family member or a good friend it would be kinda hard to not go to far with it. big thing though is being able to defend yourself.

  6. I think that one should be able to defend oneself. I can also see that these laws could be an excuse for people to kill someone. Everybody's opinion on a "threat" is different. Someone could feel threatened by someone just looking at them. That is where things can be bad and personal judgment would come into play.

    1. I agree with this. You should be able to defend yourself but a lot of people use this reason to get away with murder.

  11. The stand your ground law is a good law meant for good intentions but if someone uses it for bad like killing an unarmed person then it is wrong.
