LIKE
LIKE PULL
LIKE PULL OUT QOUTE FIRST AND THINK ABOUT IT LATER TO SHOOT AND KILL.
TO ME IT'S LIKE OPENING UP
PANDORA'S BOX OR ANYONE TO JUST
SHOOT AND KILL AT WILL.
AS OF TODAY, OHIOANS WHO
LEGALLY OWN A GUN CAN SHOOT AND
KILL SOMEONE ANYWHERE IF THEY
HAVE TRUE BELIEF THAT THEIR
LIFE IS IN DANGER.
A LITTLE BACKGROUND HERE.
UNTIL NOW THE STATE USED WHAT'S
CALLED THE CASTLE DOCTRINE
MEANING YOU COULD ONLY USE
LETHAL FORCE IF YOU ARE IN YOUR
HOME OR IN YOUR CAR.
AS TV'S KEVIN LANDERS EXPLAINS
TONIGHT, THE NO DUTY TO RETREAT
LAW ALLOWS FOR THE USE OF
LETHAL FORCE EVEN IF THAT FORCE
CAN BE AVOIDED BY RETREATING
AFTER THE TRAGIC SHOOTING OF
DAYTON THAT LEFT NINE OHIOANS
DEAD , THOSE IN SUPPORT OF
SOLUTIONS TO GUN VIOLENCE HOPE
GOVERNOR MIKE DEWINE WOULD BE
TRUE TO HIS WORD AND QUOTE DO
SOMETHING PEOPLE LIKE SHEILA
BRADSHAW, A MEMBER OF MOMS
DEMAND ACTION WHICH PROMOTES
GUN SAFETY.
DEWINE, OUR GOVERNOR CAME TO
DAYTON AND SAID THAT HE WAS
GOING TO DO SOMETHING.
THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT THE DO
SOMETHING THIS THIS IS NOT IT.
SHE'S TALKING ABOUT SENATE BILL
ONE SEVENTY FIVE OHIO'S NO DUTY
TO RETREAT LAW SIGNED BY
GOVERNOR DEWINE AND JAN FIVE
RETURNING TO THE WILD WILD WEST
OHIO STAND YOUR GROUND BILL
EXTENDS THE RIGHT TO DEFEND
YOURSELF BEYOND YOUR CAR AND
HOME SOMETHING BUCKEYE FIREARMS
ASSOCIATION, A PRO-GUN GROUP
PUSHED FOR.
I'M NOT NECESSARILY MAKING THE
ARGUMENT THAT IT MAKES PEOPLE
SAFER OR THAT IT'S GOING TO
REDUCE CRIME OR ANYTHING LIKE
THAT.
FOR ME THIS IS ABOUT JUST THE
RIGHT OF SELF-DEFENSE.
IF THERE'S ANY RIGHT THAT ANY
OF US HAVE, IT'S TO DEFEND OUR
OWN LIVES.
NOT ONLY DO OHIOANS NO LONGER
HAVE A DUTY TO RETREAT UNDER
THE LAW, THEY CAN USE LETHAL
FORCE NOT JUST A FIREARM
ANYWHERE THEY ARE LEGALLY
ALLOWED TO BE IF THEY FEAR
GREAT BODILY HARM, LETHAL FORCE
IS JUSTIFIED IF YOU HAVE AN
HONEST AND REASONABLE FEAR THAT
YOU'RE AN IMMEDIATE DANGER OF
DEATH OR GREAT BODILY HARM, YOU
HAVE A RIGHT UNDER THE CURRENT
LAW TO PROTECT YOURSELF.
NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRAT IN THE
OHIO HOUSE OR SENATE VOTED FOR
THE BILL INCLUDING STATE
SENATOR TERESA FEDOR WHO CAST A
NO VOTE.
THIS ONE MY OPINION GIVES
PERMISSION TO SHOOT FIRST, ASK
QUESTIONS LATER.
FEDER SAYS SHE VOTED AGAINST
THE BILL AFTER HEARING CONCERNS
FROM COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.
THIS LAW ALLOWS AN EXCUSE FOR
WHITE PEOPLE WHO ARE FEARFUL OF
PEOPLE OF COLOR TO GO AHEAD AND
ACT ON YOUR FEAR.
SHEILA BRADSHAW AGREES THAT I
BELIEVE THAT THIS IS GOING TO
AFFECT COMMUNITIES OF COLOR
BLACK BROWN PEOPLE MORE THAN
OTHERS.
BUT I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THE
BLOOD IS GOING TO BE ON IS ON
OUR GOVERNOR'S HAND AND THIS IS
GOING TO AFFECT OUR COMMUNITY.
MOST LAW ENFORCEMENT UNIONS AND
THE OHIO PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS
ASSOCIATION TESTIFIED AGAINST
THE BILL CALLING IT A BLOW TO
PUBLIC SAFETY BILL PROHIBITS
THE JURY FROM CONSIDERING
WHETHER THE PERSON COULD HAVE
RETREATED.
BUT A JURY IS GOING TO LOOK AT
WHETHER OR NOT THE USE OF
LETHAL FORCE IS REASONABLE.
YOU CAN'T THIS IS NOT A GET OUT
OF JAIL FREE CARD IN ORDER TO
USE LETHAL FORCE, THE LAW
REQUIRES THAT YOU ARE NOT THE
AGGRESSOR.
YOU HAD REASONABLE BELIEF YOU
NEEDED TO USE LETHAL FORCE.
IT WAS PROPORTIONAL TO THE
THREAT AND THERE WAS NO
REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY TO GET
AWAY.
IF YOU'RE IN A SITUATION WHERE
YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT YOUR
LIFE IS ABOUT TO END, THERE
SHOULDN'T BE ANY ADDITIONAL
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR YOU TO
CONSIDER AT THAT TIME THAT'S
REALLY GIVING THE ATTACKER MORE
RIGHTS THAN YOU HAVE.
MORE THAN HALF OF THE US HAS A
NO DUTY TO RETREAT BILL OHIO
BECOMES THE SIXTH STATE FOR
PEOPLE LIKE SHEILA BRADSHAW.
SHE SAYS WHAT MAY BE GOOD FOR
SOME STATES DOESN'T MEAN IT'S
RIGHT FOR OHIO.
WE THINK WE'VE SEEN
