The reports state the "Kid" was 6'2" or 6'3" depending on source and a football player. Z is reported to be 5'2". Hmmmmmm.
I know exactly what you mean. But a private Citizen can not detain another private Citizen for doing any of this. Sounds like he tried to do a Terry Stop. The guy who authored the Stand your Ground Law was talking last night. He said it clearly states "you can not approach someone, challenge someone creating a situation, then use the Stand Your Ground Law as a defense. He said the stand your ground law do's not even apply here.
