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

Only the old man knew what his intentions were but he moved closed to the younger man while verbally haranguing him. It is not illogical to assume he meant to escalate the situation....young man was merely standing his ground.

"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..."

I am not and have not advocated any such thing....but older man stepped closer to younger man while verbally haranguing young man...no one knows what the intentions were of the older many but the older man but is not unreasonable for the young man to think he is stepping closer to him to attack him. Young man excercized his right to protect himself....by any measure.

"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..."

No doubt in those states where this ridiculous law is in effect it is entirely possible and highly likely that I can start a fight, start getting my arse kicked and shoot the other person and I was merely standing my ground. It happens almost every time the defense is used. If you want to kill someone legally all you have to do is get in their face, verbally assault them until they react physically, pull out a gun and shoot them and you were standing your ground. Or, do like zimmerman, start following someone, under the cover of darkness, and when they react by attacking you because they think you are threatening them you shoot them and you were standing your ground. Of course this ONLY works if you are white...if youre black when you stand youre ground you are a violent animal and a product of a community which is inherently violent in a vacuum of all other stimulus....'cause youre black.
