“it’s NEVER been the law that you can use deadly force in a fight where you are a willing participant
“Clearly, you can’t use deadly force in a fight you provoke and then plead self-defense. I think that’s true everywhere, whether or not there is a “stand your ground” law.”

What are you talking about? Florida only has a law specifically stating about duties to not retreat because they were dumb enough to have one that said a person had a duty to retreat in the first place. Only to some dumb a dirt idiot politician would a person be required to flee a bad guy and not the other way around.
I think I’m citing the common law as it pertains to homicide.
I agree about the idiot politicians and the need for some type of stand your ground protection. I just want to understand how far the Florida law goes to change the common law.
