  1. I thought this was already a law.
  2. What's the purpose of this law?

Existing law defines homicide as the unlawful killing of a human being, or a fetus, with or without malice aforethought, as specified. Existing law establishes certain circumstances in which homicide is justifiable, as specified.
This bill would eliminate certain circumstances under which homicide is justifiable, including, among others, in defense of a habitation or property. The bill would additionally clarify circumstances in which homicide is not justifiable, including, among others, when a person uses more force than necessary to defend against a danger.
By expanding the scope of the crime of homicide, this bill would create a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Fuck all of that noise.

What a crock of shit. Hopefully this goes nowhere because it would just further the view that Democrats are both weak on crime and are harder on innocents than criminals.

As it reads, it seems if someone breaks into your house while you are inside you will have to flee your home if you are able to.

Castle doctrine is pretty absolute. If you are in your house, there is no duty to retreat.

So does that mean the criminal now has a duty to retreat if threatened by someone?

That would be a huge outlier if so. Several states have duty to retreat laws and those laws don't apply in your home.

Obviously if you don't have to kill someone in order to be safe you should choose that option. Bill text doesn't seem to distinquish between retreating and being able to safely retreat.

Like your going to have people after the fact try to argue someone could have retreated even if the person didn't think they'd be able to.

Based upon his comment at the end he had no idea what he was doing and was pushing for something he didn't understand.

the bill proposes a major shift by introducing a duty to retreat when outside the home.

That's like the first line of the article.

I just woke up from my lunch nap so maybe I don't have my lawyerin cap on, but... how would this still not allow someone to defend their home?

(2)When committed in defense of habitation, property, or person, against one who manifestly intends or endeavors, by violence or surprise, to commit a felony, or against one who manifestly intends and endeavors, of a person, against one who manifestly intends or endeavors in a violent, riotous, or tumultuous manner, to enter the habitation of another for the purpose of offering violence to any person therein.

I spoiled out the section that was struck through in the bill.

If they're not threatening your life you don't have the right to shoot them while they're in your home because property was stricken from that text that says when homicide is justified. In other words, if a guy breaks into your house and starts taking all your shit but is not personally threatening you, you do not have a right to shoot him under the revised wording, because homicide in defense of property would no longer be a qualifier.

If someone breaks into the house and me and my family are there I would consider them a threat to me or my family. I don't know what their mindset is and I don't want to second guess and risk the lives of my family. Glad the "genius" who thought of this is rethinking it.

Lack of discernment is not the issue. TC has an agenda to push, and they are doing exactly that.

This.

TC is a massive trumper chud who just happens to live in California, and does nothing but make topics about how bad they believe California to be, instead of moving to a red state, where they would undoubtedly be better off, /s.

I do have to wonder why TC refuses to go to a place that puts in the initiatives they want if California is so terribly offensive.

Why not move to Alabama, or Missouri, or fuckin' Saudi Arabia?
