How is it the "castle doctrine" lead to vigilantism? It is bad enough we have a "shoot first and assume the worst" training of our actual police force, but why should anyone be surprised that a black man grabbed for the firearm? Ahmaud didn't want to die. The "castle doctrine" was only supposed to apply to your physical home. How it lead to street posses is beyond me.
I cannot tell you how many times as a kid and teen and even in my neighborhood today, I have cut through yards to get somewhere. But especially as a kid and teen, I went on to construction sites just to look around. And my understanding with this case, is that neighbors witnessed even white people looking around the construction property prior to that day.
The castle doctrine didn’t lead to vigilantism.

Yes, actually it has. The more the right pushes it's no rules agenda, the more people think they can carry and shoot and kill in public as much as they do in defending their home.
"Stand your ground" bullshit, is simply saying shoot first, is ok even in public.
It is simply extending the mentality of defending your personal home to defending the community as if it were your personal home.
These assholes were not defending shit, they were gang members.
