In what may be one of the worst perversions of a Florida law that is currently on the books, the bully who roughed up the woman at Spanish Springs used the phrase "right to stand your ground" in his comment to the arresting officer.
Stand you ground means that you have a right to defend yourself against bodily harm. It does not mean that you decide what you want and then have a right to aggressively and violently take what you want, even if it infringes on the rights and physical safety of another or others.

First hats off to you for your fine posting and reminding everyone what happened to this lady. Now then..
The victim in this case her family, friends , and neighbors need to rally around her and encourage her to do the following.
Contact a first class lawyer who has a proven track record in filling a lawsuit against individuals like this man.
He needs to learn a lesson...jail time unlikely..community service again unlikely..probation..most likely...
But the real lesson he needs to learn and the only way is from his Wallet..yes indeed...that's where it will really Hurt.
If any of the above know the victim please encourage her to contact a 1st Class lawyer....now.
