Violence is violence and if you are supporting the young man's right to hit the old man, then you cannot draw the line at the level of violence...

That young man could have killed or severely injured the old man with one punch... So, where are you going to draw the line on what level of violence is acceptable and what line is not?

Like I said, you folks do not know what you are asking for...

If the roles were reversed in a stand your ground state and an old white man killed a young black man doing exactly the same thing all of you would be extolling the virtues of stand your ground. The young man had turned his back and get on with life...old man advanced. Who knows what his intentions were at that point? Young man was standing his ground. Y'all ought to be extolling the virtues of that. Instead its a young black man so he is a violent animal who attacked a white man.

Projection... nice... doesn't work here... So you are basically saying that this board would support the white man shooting the black man for speaking words at him?

No, I certainly would not and most here would not either...

The old man advanced in line, other than that you do not know his intentions...

It is hilarious that you are advocating for the right of someone to punch someone for hurling insults at them but stop at throwing punches...

BTW, stand your ground would have been the old man shooting the young black man when he was on the ground and the young black man continued to advance...
