A Florida construction worker is undoubtedly relieved after learning he will not face charges for a deadly October encounter that has been ruled as self-defense.
A vacant home was under construction when a general contractor, identified as 38-year-old Mostafa M. Ah Abdo, apparently became enraged. Investigators believe a disagreement over a payment resulted in the suspect destroying completed tile work at the site.
He then retrieved a weapon from his truck and threatened a subcontractor tile worker.
That man’s father witnessed the violent incident and drew his own weapon, shooting Abdo. Responding authorities found the suspect dead at the scene.
The father who defended his son was later identified as 52-year-old Yamel Benitez. He was also laying tile at the site when the exchange began.
Even in Florida, which is a well-known sanctuary for Second Amendment rights, the aftermath of a shooting is a precarious time. The father had every reason to worry that his actions could draw the ire of a prosecutor who did not value the fundamental right to armed self-defense.
However, the investigation into the tragic encounter led to the determination that the father used necessary force to protect his son from a violent threat. Authorities termed Benitez’s reaction as “justifiable self-defense.”
Florida’s Stand Your Ground law regularly comes under fire from those who dismiss the notion that you are your own first responder. They would rather you run away from any threat or patiently wait for law enforcement to intervene.
But the Sunshine State law, which has been in effect since 2005, did away with the necessity to retreat. Individuals such as Benitez who step up and confront violent attackers are generally protected from prosecution by Stand Your Ground.
That principle was well understood by the Founding Fathers and is a significant reason the Second Amendment was enshrined in the Bill of Rights.
