Another Zimmerman-Martin like case in North Carolina?

Inside the home, no syg issues.
Both have criminal records....

As the above poster said- once inside the residence, it's a completely different story.

Fixed

The perps were inside the house that they certainly had not been invited into and attacked them when they entered according to the news report at the link. This sounds like the type of situation that is legitimate self-defense.

protecting murderers. It has not gotten a lot of national press.

This example is one of Castle Doctrine, a more aggressive but narrower kind of SYG. However, with a few notable exceptions, many DUers have no problem with Castle Doctrine.

It will be very interesting to see if this goes national and what gets said.

If the anti-gunners try to use this one against Castle Doctrine they will get rotten egg on their faces.

The dead burglars both have extensive criminal records, one of them for violent assaults.

The residents are active duty Marines.

So you have a couple of violent druggies attacking Marines in the Marines' own residence and they end up dead for their efforts. Public sympathies will be with the Marines.

How are the available facts on this case anything like zimmerman/Martin? The two men killed were black is about the only thing similar. The circumstances; there seems to be a crime being committed (not the case with the Martin incident except for zimmerman's crime, there were 2 killed and 3 (maybe one, maybe two) that did the killing, they were Marines not a wannabe cop/neighborhood watch guy, the incident, at least reportedly, happened in their home where a crime was being committed by the two that were killed. How is this case similar? The poster really seems to be reaching.

Justified shooting.

I would of done the same thing had I come home and two people i did not know were in my home, and then proceeded to attack me.

And what makes you think that matters at all? If you are attacked inside your own home do you look to see what their race is before you defend yourself?

But I think you already knew that.

The point is that when the 3 Marines returned home, they were attacked by the 2 dirtbags who were committing a felony. They died because they had illegally entered someone else's domicile and then to top it off, they attack 3 Marines who more than likely have combat tours under their belts. How fucking stupid can you be?

Your obvious vile, biased hatred for gun owners is just beyond the pale.

Whoever they were they were in a home in which they had no business being in, and proceeded to attack the people who lived there when they got there. But good try at making this a race issue. Try to put yourself in their position, What would you do if you came home and two guys were in your home and then they attacked you?

Had you taken even a moment to actually read about the incident, you'd have had no need to ask your transparently race-baiting question. You'd have also avoided looking like an idiot. A potential win-win situation for you, pissed away in your rush to be a bigot.

So much fail.

It's entirely different.

This is more similar:

This one of several subsequent events where some are claiming its more bad laws covering murder like Zimmerman. In this one claims of vigilantism have been made

You're trying desperately to shore up a failing RW policy: which is to make it easier for people to kill each other.

The incident in your OP has nothing in common with the Zimmerman murder case. Zimmerman faced no intruders, he was not in his own home, he was not threatened in any way. Zimmerman went out of his way, and without cause to hunt down & shoot a minor child who was in an area in which that child had a perfectly valid right be in.

There is no reason to bring the story in your OP up in a discussion about George Zimmerman. The only question is: Why do it then?

The answer is, of course, to try and distract people from realizing the truth about a fundamentally & fatally flawed doctrine: SYG laws - which were created and funded by RW extremists, the GOP and the NRA, which were pushed through corrupt state legislatures - and which have nothing to do with real self-defense and essentially legalize murder.

Actually not, they evolved from US common law for the past 100 years. California and Utah are both SYG by common law. Washington since 1917, Illinois since 1961. Florida was the first pushed in the 21st century.
Corrupt state legislatures? You mean the politicians that accept campaign contributions?
How so? It only removes duty to retreat. Legalize murder is an oxymoron.

Since Zimmerman was the agressor, then he is not covered by it.

RW gunners need to stop trying to make excuses for murderers.

Two very different things.

the home owners would almost certainly been charged with some crime and would have had to prove this was self defense instead of the .gov having to prove it wasn't. Then the home owners would have had to respond to a civil suit brought by the families of the convicts. Even though this was castle doctrine, SYG was enacted because people who defend themselves on the street from attackers shouldn't have to face certain criminal charges which they have to prove self defense instead of the prosecution proving it wasn't, and to protect the attempted victims from having to go through defending themselves against civil suits.

I don't see a problem here....

So you're saying just because the criminals were black and the homeowners were white this is the same as the Florida case?

how outrageous the Trayon Martin killing was. And how outrageous it is to attempt to apply SGY to Zimmerman's action.

The marines came home and found two people inside burglarizing the place. Both had extensive criminal records, and they are said to have attacked the homeowners upon being found out.

Burgle a home, get caught, end up dead.
