It's stories like this that make me appreciate living in Canada.

unless of course you are Polish, slightly inebriated and confused, and run up against some young RCMP constables looking for any reason to use a taser?

That photo of him looked like he was an orange jumpsuit type so the self-defense argument is probably meaningless.

Nope. Prison garb is like hospital scrubs. No colars, no buttons. Also note he would have been arrested and advised before 'suiting up', and the ear stud would have been put in his personal effects prior to the photo

With Florida's law they seem to be encouraging this behaviour, whereas we are appalled and attempt to fix it.

The shooter outweighs the kid by 100 lbs. The kid was armed with smarties and a soda - does that sound like self-defense to you?

He wasn't worried about his own safety when he was instructed by police dispatch not to continue following him, yet he claims self defense after shooting a small unarmed kid. I'm just saying something doesn't add up.
