Before deputies arrived, Setti told the dispatcher he armed himself and shot the alleged intruder.
Deputies arrived within 10 minutes, and found a car with Georgia tags in the driveway and Setti’s front door, partially obscured by a bush on the right, ajar.
The door was broken at the hinges and a man’s body, later identified as his neighbor, James Sasser, 31, of Sarasota, was lying in the doorway.
No charges have been filed in the case, which remains under investigation. According to Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, a person may use deadly force in self-defense if he or she reasonably believes that force is necessary to prevent death or bodily harm. |

Yep, keep beating that SYG drum, especially when it's not going to be used as a defense in court.
Zimmerman-Martin wasn't a SYG case, Zimmerman had no opportunity to retreat when being straddled on the ground.
This isn't a SYG case, it's a Castle Doctrine case. As such, prosecution is not even possible. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
