That is the essence of self defense in Florida. There is no duty to retreat, and shooting someone because of fear of the threat is justified in law.

Right. But the shooter must reasonably believe that it is more likely than not that his life is in danger, or that he is in danger of serious bodily harm. In this case, it was some unarmed younger guy yelling - and lunging - at some older guy.
This is nothing like the Zimmerman case.
