Not really.
I can call you a stupid witch.
If you then try to run over me with your car, I can shoot you and kill you, even if I started the fight.

Look up the definition of Assault in Florida.
And just imagine how this could play in a Jury member’s mind knowing that you can’t claim self defense if you provoke the confrontation.
Of course, that theory could be negated in a case that goes up the ladder...but not a good thing to be imprisoned while you wait..because GZ would probably end up dead in prison.
