Stand Your Ground defense finally works for a black man shooting at a white man

[RavenSky]

Of course, it took 3 years, a genuine and obvious threat, and a confession from the racist white guy to do it... but it's something.

Devin Gibbs fired a gunshot the day after Christmas 2015 at Phillip Ledea, who began shouting racial slurs and making violent threats because he wrongly believed the younger man had cut him in line, reported the Miami Herald.

Gibbs, now 25, left the fast food restaurant while waiting for his food, surveillance video shows, and picked up his order after Ledea had sat down to eat.

The older white man then followed Gibbs out of the McDonald’s and continued screaming threats from the doorway, according to defense attorneys.

Gibbs believed at this point that Ledea was armed and intended to kill or seriously injure him, lawyers said, so he threw down his food and fired one shot from his gun.

Ledea, who has a history of arrests, admitted to police that he was drinking beer and had gotten involved in fights with other young adults before his confrontation with Gibbs.
