It's a duty to retreat because you can be shot if you don't. In other words, non-gun owners don't have the right to stand their ground against a gun owner, in Florida. The gun owner's right is law. There is no similar "right" in the law for a non-gun owner.

In this case the non-gun owner was drunk and had committed the offense of breaking and entering. He placed himself in a situation where a home owner was protecting his family.
The dead person placed himself in a dangerous situation. The home owner was not obliged to look after the welfare of the person who had broken into his home, but rather he was obliged to protect his family.
So much for your welfare state of everyone looking out for the miscreant.

Exactly...if people are behaving badly that gives anyone the license to kill one of them. Simple isn't it. We don't need law enforcement....let each citizen be judge, jury, and executioner. Easy peasy justice!
Apparently so. It sounds like PV would not mind heading the mob.

How about the police?
Before you all "school me" on the difference between the death penalty and a lynch mob, I was referring to PV's tone. If you do not get it I can not explain it to you.

When the gun owner went over the noisy party and kicked in the door then he could have been shot dead, too. The guy who died wasn't the only one who broke into a home that night.

The partiers were resistant and belligerent towards the police. They were drugged up, foul-mouthed, insensitive, and drunk. Morrison was one of this drunken group (.19 blood alcohol), was hiding from the police in the dark, enclosed back porch of the neighbor.
Yes, the shooter was justified in shooting Morrison to protect his family.
"insensitive"? lol
Using your logic just about anybody is fair game. Great country
Hopefully this will happen to your son or daughter Arlen.

Seriously?? That's just disgusting SM. You know, my mom taught me that if I don't have anything nice to say, to not say anything at all. I think it's a lesson you should learn. Like now.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
