Standing your ground

A pizza delivery driver is robbed by a man with a knife. The driver produced a handgun and shot him dead. The critter in question had quite the criminal record: multiple felonies for armed robbery, accessory to first degree murder, kidnapping, and other charges. There are those who would argue that the driver should have just handed over the cash, and hoped that the criminal decided not to kill him.

This is what it means to have a "Stand Your Ground" law.

Congratulations, Mr. Park. You get to enjoy the rest of your life.
