Let's say Drejka fell and hit his head and died. McGlockton would then invoke stand your ground. He had a reasonable fear for the life of his girlfriend and child. He didn't have to retreat. 

But, I get what you're saying about any other state where I wouldn't have the right to shove someone, but I would probably still physically separate a strange man who was inches from my girlfriend's face screaming at her while my child was feet away. I'm not going to take chances with their lives. 

You gotta stop defending yourself Pat or you might get shot by someone defending himself from you defending yourself.

And that would TOTALLY be the other guy's fault.  But....
