According to a recent report, Joe Schilling has successfully used Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law to avoid a lawsuit over a viral knockout video. The incident occurred in 2022, when Schilling was caught on camera knocking out a man outside of a Florida bar. The man later filed a lawsuit against Schilling, claiming that the knockout had caused him to suffer serious injuries. However, Schilling’s legal team successfully argued that he had acted in self-defense under Florida’s Stand Your Ground law. As a result, the lawsuit against him was dismissed, and he is no longer facing any legal action over the incident. The use of Stand Your Ground laws in self-defense cases has been controversial in recent years, with critics arguing that they can be used to justify excessive force. However, in Schilling’s case, it appears that the law has worked in his favor.
