As of today,
In the State of Florida,
The “Deadly-Force Law” comes into effect.

This law affirms that,
and I quote,

“….giving the people of Florida the right to use deadly force as a first resort
when they feel threatened, even in a public place.”

“….the new law expands that doctrine to include people in public places who feel threatened
and could be subject to death or great bodily harm.”

Okay, now several questions come into mind.

First,
Isn’t there a law already that gives everyone the right
to defend themselves from intruders?
Something called “Common Sense?”

Second,
So, this law didn’t change anything,
it just gives everyone “007” statuses.
(007 = License to kill, and okay, that wasn’t really a question)

Third,
Let’s say I rear ended someone in downtown traffic,
and a 300 pound, body builder, with no neck, covered in tattoos
gets down from his car, approaches me, with a facial expression like he’s going to kill me
right after he rips off his shirt like the hulk.
Does that count as a threatening situation and I can shoot him?

Fourth,
And right after I shoot him, and he didn’t die,
can I sue him for subjecting me thru a threatening situation,
and would they give him the death penalty?
The law gives me the right to kill him anyway.

See, I have only lived here in Florida for 2 years now,
and I have seen a lot of crazy Floridians.
Oh and crazy Florida tourists.
Can I shoot them too?
After all, who hasn’t been threatened by crazy people?

I guess I should read some more and
put a lot of thought about where I stand with this law.
Because it seems like, the law makers didn’t.
