This looks to be a tough one. Florida has similar laws to ours here in Ohio. In our state, breaking into my vehicle is legally the same as trying to break into my home under our Castle Doctrine. I have the right to use deadly force.
What we don't have that Florida does is Stand Your Ground laws. After the attempted break in, the driver was under no obligation to retreat under Florida law.
This should be interesting if the media follows the story to it's end and what charges the prosecutor will try to bring against these men. Having a gun under a felony is a slap on the wrist compared to attempted murder charges.
Well, I'd say they have him dead-bang for felony posession of a firearm. 3-8 years would be my guess, circumstances or not.
If he wasn't a convicted felon, probably nothing.
You can get up to 15 years for being a felon using a firearm, but 15 would be purely political.
The D.A. will get to the bottom of it. I guarantee he's not walking free anytime soon.
The "Heil Hitler" thing is probably a lie, there was probably a bumper sticker on the Jeep one of the protesters didn't like.
Saying Heil Hitler is irrelevant to smashing out a window or shooting into a group of people. Freedom of speech is still protected. My guess is that he will plea down to a lesser charge of the gun.
He's got a 3 million dollar bond.
