Good call. That is correct. It's stood like that since built as it has a stone dome roof, not a wooden one, so it never collapsed in.

Last post by billy rubin - June 06, 2023, 06:13:21 PMboth the shooter and the victim were equally guilty of starting and continuing the altercation.
but tbe shooter was behind a locked door, facing an unarmed woman. no imminent danger. just dont open the door. call the police if youre afraid.
the victim was unarmed, so the force was not proportional. she was angry, but had no weapon.
the shooter had no duty to retreat, but had no right to shoot either.
there is no argument that these actions were reasonable except that its florida, and the shooter is white, while the victim was black.
were i a prosecuting attorney, i would charge manslaughter at the least.
stand your ground does not apply unless all the other boxes are checked first.

I may want to visit since I do enjoy a good castle crawl, but then I have been in quite a few where, unfortunately, all you get are carefully-curated exhibitions in the keep, while I prefer to... Well, roam, really.
It's the most open and accessible castle I have ever been to. Lots of places to climb and investigate.
