Being pushed is not grounds under the law to shoot anyone...
Trying to protect yourself or another person from death or serious bodily harm;
Trying to prevent a forcible felony, such as rape, robbery, burglary or kidnapping.
It is clearly outlined.
The only real change in the self defense laws in Florida, is that you are no longer under any obligation to retreat from the situation if you are legally within your rights to be where you are.
Ah, okay. So do you think it is fine if someone uses lethal force when they could've resolved the situation peacefully (Even if serious bodily harm is at play)? Say for instance they have the opportunity to get in their car and drive away.
Jryan, I think your missing something here...by the time you can ascertain your in imminent danger 100% your going to be dead. There ingredients such as intent and belief....do you BELIEVE your in imminent danger...the way your wording your argument...theres no self defense, its just wait till you cant defend yourself.
I think this law mirrors the federal guidelines on concealed weapons, but the general lean of the SYG law was more freedom since it replaced a strict castle doctrine type of law.

SYG didn't replace Castle Doctrine.. it extended it into public spaces.. meaning there is no duty to retreat.
Its bad law.
I guess you are right there. Maybe we are to cruel on people who make decisions in the moment because we now have hindsight.
Not really. Only in how it is written.Its bad law.
Not really. Only in how it is written.
It should be written in such a way that unlawful intent has to be proven before any other legal process can be implemented.
Now there's a conundrum for you. Under our laws, where does unlawful intent have to be proven for anything? It's called trial by jury.
In the Old West it was easier, fastest man on the trigger was the good guy. Oh wait.... even in the Old West shooting a unarmed man was murder.
In the old west this situation, with the evidence they have, they would have just accepted Zimmerman's word. Just as they should now.In the Old West it was easier, fastest man on the trigger was the good guy. Oh wait.... even in the Old West shooting a unarmed man was murder.

Intent is the difference between criminal trespass and burglary or manslaughter and murder 2, etc. For some charges you need to have, or be able to prove intent in court or in some cases file charges.

The unlawful killing of a human being, when perpetrated by any act imminently dangerous to another and evincing a depraved mind regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual, is murder in the second degree and constitutes a felony of the first degree, punishable by imprisonment for a term of years not exceeding life or as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
OK please explain how the penalty's have anything even remotely to do with my post?
Please re-read my post. After you are clued in, you will see I am absolutely correct and your efforts appear just mind numbingly out of place.
The link also defines Murder 2.........
