slaps or punches are not usually enough to justify deadly force. Of
course, the situation is different if you are old or infirm and assailed
with fists by a much younger opponent.

And therein lies the issue that "stand your ground" addresses. Without
SOG the burden of proof is on you if you're assaulted and respond with
deadly force. You will probably face lengthy and costly court
proceedings, and even if you win in court, may become liable in civil
proceedings. All that because some hoodlum assaulted you, a family
member, or tried to commit a felony in your presence. If someone
attacks, or threatens to attack, a family member in your presence, you
can not normally claim self defense if you shoot them. SOG fixes that.

It certainly did not "work" for Zimmerman. He is about a half million
bucks defending a case that should never have been brought in the
first place.
The DA made the right choice the night of the shooting. He said there
was no case he could make there. A year and a half, maybe a million
dollars and a 2 week trial later, he was absolutely right.
This was a political witch hunt that simply is not going away.

The only good thing that will come from the SYG law is "loser pays" in
a civil suit. That is why it will probably be the HOA that gets sued
and the award will be whatever the insurance will pay.

Any federal case will just be another debacle from the gang that can't
shoot straight.

Quite well said.
