Again, if you take a very narrow read on events, this is literally true.

Also, as per your linked article, you have to dismiss the judge's jury instructions to make your talking point work.

At the very least, you might not want to dismiss any and all people who reference Stand Your Ground in relation to this case; I think it's blindingly obvious that there's more than one legitimate read on the subject. Just because the bloggers at Reason happen to agree with you and Sean Hannity is no cause to be so dismissive of, say, the statistical article I linked earlier.
