Floridian William T. Woodward claims he took a page from President George W. Bush's playbook when he "preemptively" shot three of his neighbors at a Labor Day BBQ. There had been an ongoing feud between Woodward and the three victims, and Woodward alleges the three men had recently threatened they were going "to get him." According to his attorneys, Woodward ambushed and shot the three men as a preventative measure. Two of the men died; the third incredibly survived despite being shot eleven times.
Woodward's legal team argued that his psychotic attack was justified under Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law, which allows deadly force in the face of an imminent threat. His attorneys also cited "The Bush Doctrine," which was used to justify the invasion of Iraq! The foreign policy principle dictates that the United States should overthrow foreign governments that threaten US national security, even if the threat is not imminent.
These legal eagles apparently do not see the difference between the two situations!
