South Carolina entrepreneur to face no charges in shooting

According to Sheriff Steve Loftis, Stephenson's girlfriend called 911 to report that someone was trespassing on the grounds and walking down a quarter-mile-long driveway leading from a locked gate to the home. When the man refused to stop, Stephenson stood on his porch and fired two warning shots in the air from a shotgun, according to Loftis.

Stephenson left the porch and approached the man, who then tried to stab him with a folding hunting knife, according to Loftis. At that point, the sheriff said, Stephenson fired five times, hitting Whitman three times —in the arm, face and chest.

Wilkins said Stephenson was legally standing his ground on his property, defending himself and his girlfriend, and therefore was immune from prosecution.

Damn right it is justifiable and in line with the SC Code of Laws Title 16, Chapter 11, Article 6.
 
if the story is verified of course hes justified.


just to make things clear


If the guy had hank Aarons baseball bat and then tenderized his head instead it would be legal too

Solicitor says NO to you claim. According to SC law, he did what he had the right to do. Don't like it, I suggest not going onto his or anyone else's property.

I keep telling you guys that Watermark only makes the posts that he does, to see if he can't get an argument going.
It's obvious that he thinks he's a "contrarian' and his sense of entitlement has him convinced that people should pay attention to his lunacy.

Then you guys go and enable him, by giving him what he wants and that's a response. :palm:
