I can't inherently fault the first person who uses force if they are doing so in an attempt to protect others. Sometimes it is necessary.  

My take would then just be that shooting someone in the chest for shoving you because you screamed at their partner and child is not reasonable nor justifiable.

And isn't that at the heart of the "stand your ground" debate?  The coward with the gun claims they felt threatened...even if they started the incident.

The lesson learned is let the bully/cowards run their mouths, push you, stalk you...you just be quiet and walk away or you probably did something to get yourself shot.

Oh, but the shooter is TOTALLY at fault.  But....
