"“Whoever shall unnecessarily kill another, either while resisting an attempt by such other person to commit any felony, or to do any other unlawful act, or after such attempt shall have failed, shall be deemed guilty of manslaughter, a felony of the second degree,” the law reads."

Doesn't this law directly contradict the "Stand your Ground" law?

No, the stand your ground simply means you do not have to withdraw when a person with possible violent intentions confronts you. You still can’t shoot someone breaking into your car. Not in Florida, anyway.

It sounds to me like the attacked person must snivel, whimper, and grovel to the attacker, stand by and just watch a capital crime in commission, be charged with illegal activity (in this case, defending oneself).

This had to have been written by a coward. Just reading it disgusts me.
