Am I in the wrong? I believe I was only defending my right to leave my own home.

That's up to the judge now, bud.

But yeah, you're fucked. You generally can't use force to defend yourself against non-violent crimes. You're supposed to call the police for that kind of shit.

Imagine if someone is trespassing on your property, just standing there not actually doing anything, you can't shoot them.

I live in a stand your ground state dude. I can quite literally do that if I tell them to leave and they don't leave.

That's not what that means. You should do one of those mini law courses on self defense before you get yourself in a stupid amount of trouble.

Castle doctrine says otherwise.

I'm telling you man, if someone refuses to leave your house after the party is over and you shoot them you're in a perilous situation.

The reason you're gonna get off is because it happened in your home, it wasn't filmed, the only other witness is dead and you weren't dumb enough to talk to the police. Not because you didn't commit a crime.

If you fuck up any of those you're gonna rot in prison.

Castle doctrine still has to be self defense. It's not a license to murder anyone dumb enough to step foot in your home.

dude I used a knife to defend my right to leave my home. I didn't commit murder, I didn't use a gun. I gave him 4 warnings before I used deadly force to leave my house. If what I did was a crime the police should have kept me in jail, because I believe every human being should have the right to do what I did.

Claim right now that you felt being falsely imprisoned was also an imminent threat to you being harmed. Otherwise you had no right to use such force.

No. Pic related, retard.

I'm not going to lie. Besides I haven't been asking for legal advice. I've been asking if what I did was morally wrong.
