The Reefer-Madness excuse, or the same defense you give when you shoot a dog that gets too bite-y.
. The Tampa Bay Times reported:
Those who invoke stand your ground to avoid prosecution have been extremely successful. Nearly 70 percent have gone free.
Defendants claiming stand your ground are more likely to prevail if the victim is black. Seventy-three percent of those who killed a black person faced no penalty compared to 59 percent of those who killed a white.

If youre the defense, just go with the Reefer-Madness excuse, or the same defense you give when you shoot a dog that gets too bite-y.
And, while youre at it, gun nuts in Florida, why not institute the same rule for food that you drop on the ground for your pick-a-punk vigilante shooting? say, the three-second rule. Like, you shoot someone, anyone, and if you call out, 1-2-3 Stand-My-Ground-Not-It! and then say, no backsies! you get to have your victim stuffed at a taxidermist of your choice, paid for by the taxpayers, of course.
I get the impression that in Florida, if George Zimmerman had stalked Trayvon Martin with a military grade flamethrower and set him on fire, at a minimum hed probably be in prison right now for arson, or felony damage to a wealthy landholders private property.
