"Legally allowing women to shoot their rapists only encourages murders."

44. You are misinformed.

Because that has always been the criteria for filing charges-- for anything.

You think they have the right to file charges without evidence?

You probably haven't seen this part of SYG because it's actually in a different statute Florida statute, but one altered by the same SYG bill to accommodate the main law:

(1) A person who uses force as permitted in s. 776.012, s. 776.013, or s. 776.031 is justified in using such force and is immune from criminal prosecution and civil action for the use of such force... (2) A law enforcement agency may use standard procedures for investigating the use of force as described in subsection (1), but the agency may not arrest the person for using force unless it determines that there is probable cause that the force that was used was unlawful.

It makes people immune from arrest or prosecution if it's determined that it was self-defense. Or that's apparently the way some police departments have been interpreting it.
