With our pass heavy offense I’d Really hope we are able to snag Copeland..for two reasons…it’s Florida and 2 he would shine here under this offense and do good things.

Has anyone considered that he might be telling the truth about the woman trying to run over his mom or that he's at least being truthful in that he genuinely thought she was? I think police believe him at least on the point that he wasn't trying to do anything more than scare her because the charges as filed are 'without intent to kill,' but this is a sorry situation. Whatever else was going on it never should've gotten to the point where the kid feels the need to go get mom's gun and fire it.

I'd laugh at South Carolina but these are the kind of charges in the exact kind of state that you never ever want to see a young person get charged with, especially since whatever else was going on he's paying for his response to the actions of the adults around him.

Do you have to PULL THE TRIGGER if you’re only trying to frighten them?

No but in Florida it's actually a smarter decision to fire the shot than brandish the weapon. You can argue self-defense and/or defense of another if you shoot but brandishing gives you no defense. Warning shots were legalized in Florida after a woman was given a 20 year sentence for firing a warning shot at her stalker abusive ex-hubby who'd broken into her home. She'd have been better off shooting him as again she'd have had a defense to that.

Assuming this kid is telling the truth he was 100 percent acting legally under Florida law. There's no duty to retreat due to stand your ground and warning shots were legalized there in 2012. He'd argue what he told police which is defense of another.

However, none of that was the point. The point was that the adults around him failed before it ever got to the point of anyone shooting anything.
