Under Florida's "Stand Your Ground" statute, as I understand it, not only is he immune from criminal prosecution, he cannot be cited in a civil suit for his actions.

Wait, what does this law actually say? Are you saying I could shoot you in your sleep, and if I claimed, "stand your ground," I am immune from prosecution? If so, it is a really bad law. I doubt it really is what you say. Someone may act in self defense, but that should be weighed as evidence. Merely because you can name a law, shouldn't mean that they can't be prosecuted.

how do you protect yourself from someone sleeping?? that’s stupid.

This is a GREAT law that protects law abiding citizens who PROTECT themselves in public. If they defend themselves and the perp dies, the perps family cannot sue is the citizen uses SYG as his defense.
