I watched the video 5x, the victim (shooter) was well within his RIGHTS under FL law.

JUSTIFIABLE USE OF FORCE

View Entire Chapter

776.012 Use or threatened use of force in defense of person.—

(1) A person is justified in using or threatening to use force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other’s imminent use of unlawful force. A person who uses or threatens to use force in accordance with this subsection does not have a duty to retreat before using or threatening to use such force.

(2) A person is justified in using or threatening to use deadly force if he or she reasonably believes that using or threatening to use such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony. A person who uses or threatens to use deadly force in accordance with this subsection does not have a duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground if the person using or threatening to use the deadly force is not engaged in a criminal activity and is in a place where he or she has a right to be.

It’s a close call. Thug assaults victim, then continues to approach victim, until victim pulls out gun. Thug, seeing the gun, starts to back up and is *arguably* no longer a threat. Victim shoots thug anyway. It could go either way.

"I watched the video 5x, the victim (shooter) was well within his RIGHTS under FL law."

How is that different from his rights under the law of other states?

The weenie media and gun grabbers are saying that the man shooting the poor little family man - (BS), should be arrested.

After watching the video, I saw that the large man, who is half the age of the victim that he did not ‘push’ to the ground, but actually threw to the ground the victim and stood over him in a menacing manner. Since no audio was on the tape, we do not know what the man standing over the victim said to the victim on the ground. Did in fact the man threaten the victim verbally?

Justified shoot in my opinion.
