Legit as to meet the requirement to be covered by the stand your ground deal? Probably.
Legit as to a meet the requirement of common sense? Probably not.
I get the premise behind stand your ground laws. People shouldn't be afraid to defend themselves if they are in a situation that they cannot deescalate and are in a real and present danger. But this isn't one. The guy started shit he shouldn't have started and got knocked on his ass like the chump that he is. The man that pushed didn't jump on top of him, he was clearly done, and the guy sits up and kills him.
Stuff is messed up.
