The "Castle" doctrine extended...

The Florida legislature recently passed a bill eliminating the legal obligation of a person in Florida to retreat when attacked by an aggressor. Instead, people in Florida are now legally permitted to use deadly force when their individual rights are being violated in any public place.

Of course, not everybody thinks this law is a good idea, including this leftist who says:
  • Anyone who values human life should find a big problem with government-approved retaliation.
In other words, a dead or raped woman is preferable to a dead rapist or would-be murderer according to the "progressive" minded leftists.
