Well, peaceable latin american visitors should never even experience Stand Your Ground. As a matter of fact, if they pretend to be Americans, they might be completely left alone by Florida's violent felons.
The only people at risk from Stand Your Ground are people who want to commit violent crimes. Stand Your Ground is a law that only applies to people who shoot someone and then stick around to talk to the police, a mode of behavior typically not associated with the guilty-minded or habitual criminals.
Stand Your Ground does nothing to legitimize the more typical criminal scenario of someone committing a violent crime and then running away to avoid the police. Someone who stabs me and takes my wallet isnt going to stand around and claim that I threatened him and that he had no choice but to chase me, stab me and take my cash. As stupid as the cops can sometimes be, they have pretty reliable bull???? detectors, especially the guys on the street doing the actual work.
