"What this means, as illustrated by this case, is that two individuals, or even groups, can square off in a middle of a public street, exchange gunfire, and both be absolved from criminal liability if they were reasonably acting in self defense," Lewis wrote. "… it is very much like the Wild West. Maybe that is not what was intended, but that seems to be the effect of the language."

They need to be careful, they spin this hard they are gonna get dizzy and fall. Also, the Wild West was an extremely tame place. The city of Tombstone had, on average, 3 killings per year. Beats the hell out of Detroit. It's not the effect of the language and that is ridiculous. I don't need to cite all of the legitimate shootings in which the shooter was charged with a crime even though Castle Doctrine exists. Plenty of people are sent to jail in SD shootings even though there exists CD. I wonder if The Honorable Judge Lewis is up for reelection soon.
