The Florida law is an utter abomination - and I say that as a very hard core believer in the 2nd amendment and a person’s right to self defense. A teen is dead because of one ass hat’s egotism and this law makes justice impossible. I believe that if this is rule “self defense” or otherwise “justified” his parents are legally barred from filing a civil suit against the shooter which is even more of an abomination.

An armed citizen needs to be held to a far higher standard than a normal civilian. It needs to be understood as a terribly dangerous responsibility not entered into lightly. Not this.

Hopefully his parents can get a federal civil rights lawsuit going soon because once again only the federal government can give any chance of justice to the aggrieved in these circumstances.
