MSN is reporting that Raul Rodriguez has been sentenced to a bunch of time. Evidently in Texas , if you choose to ,"Stand your ground" the ground better be yours .Not your neighbors driveway. People do some real wild things don't they. What do you folks think about the Jury's verdict? I found it strange the guy reportedly told the 911 dispatcher ,"I'm standing my ground here." Almost sounds like a kid walking in a liquor store and stating he's there to make a lawful purchase of alcohol. I thought it sounded like Rodriguez thought as long as he said he was standing his ground he could shoot who he wants. I think there is a lot more to it than reciting some words. Unfortunate because the antigun folks use this kind of stuff to their advantage.
