When i was growing up in chicago same type of a doofus would throw scraps from hsi lawn and such out in the street instead of his garbage. , we had people like this clown dooley sitting on his porch , so no one would walk on his lawn, this person was just waiting for an opportunity to get on some one's case over nothing. Who in his right mind walks around his house with a loaded gun stuck in his pants, no way, this boob was going over the hill real quick , just following his attitude about life as he saw. Well i pray that there are enough righteous and smart people to go thru the facts and find what this man did to another was murder by anger. What ever you call it , he should pay and pay dearly for the taking of a mans life and the complete disruption of a family his" stand your ground dog and pony show" is right along side the other killers claim of "stood my ground" in sanford." NO WAY JOSE"

There's waaay more to this Dooley / James case than the media has let out.....know it first hand. There are no "innocents" here, other than the poor kids who had to see it happen......just a screwed up argument that went way too far. The "stand your ground" doctrine in itself is a good thing, What went wrong here is Human judgement, or lack-of. Dooley had no business taking a weapon around a ball-court or kids, let alone announcing and displaying it. James had poor judgement in following him back across the street to his house arguing, knowing the whole time he had this hangun. 911 should have been called....instead this man is dead because he used physical force to handle the situation. This whole thing sucks because it so-easily could have been avoided.....on both sides.

I believe that the only way to prevent these senseless homicides is to repeal the inane stand your ground law, make it much more difficult for individuals to obtain guns, and for the government to embark on a citizens education project to avoid confrontations of this sort and allow the authorities to intervene when testosterone levels get too high.
I am a teacher and when children fight both are suspended. Children who are bullied are taught to get a teacher to help them and the offending student is dealt with. This approach is the only one that makes sense. If there was similar stand your ground law in the school yard the result would be daily mayhem and muders.
Right now our legislators, particularly the Republicans, are encouraging the type of macho behavior that leads to these tragic situations.
People are social animals with emotions that sometimes do get out of hand. The Republicans need to reallize this and take appropriate action instead of encouraging violent responses. In civilized society violence is eschewed and controlled. Right now we appear to be headed down the wrong path because those vested interests, the gun labby and their adherents, refuse to give up on their destructive actions.

Stand your ground is a great law and should never be changed. I support 100%...
