What is wrong with people these days? If she didn't like him taking pictures move to another part of the beach. As for me I could care less if I was at a beach
and someone was flying a rc as long as it was not directly over me and if someone was and I asked them to stop and they didn't I would either move or call
the police.

(3) A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.
It would be the fat A** beach whale that would be in danger of taking a dirt nap. Having the assault on video would make it a slam dunk.....................

Sadly some may think so but it's not the truth. The lady would not have had a legal ground to stand on because she approached him first and he did not fight her.

You would advocate shooting the photographer dead, just for taking some videos at a place that's open to the public? A totally, completely unarmed photographer, who was only enjoying a hobby, with no compensation received or expected? Wouldn't it have been better for her to just call the law, leaving it in their hands thereafter? I would think the latter makes a bit more sense.

Go back and read the story, he behaved like a jerk. No one ever has tacit permission to phatograph another person unawares. That is a violation of privacy.

photographing anything. In any case people are photographed all the time just watch the news and it's not illegal in most cases.

Ummm..not right under most circumstances. Right if it is an individual being photographed, but not if it the crowds (as are seen on the beach). If she did not want to be photographed, she COULD/and SHOULD have asked him not to take pictures of her and then called the law. As soon as she touched his equipment, she was in violation of common decency and getting physical elevated it into a criminal assault charge that will stick. The video insures that. Most LEO's tend to take a dim view of males that strike females, so I do understand his unwillingness to reply in kind, even though it does make him look like a wimp.
I hope he has the intestinal fortitude to file a civil suit along with pressing the criminal charges.
Some women...

You can photograph anyone and anything you see in public where people have no expectations of privacy. Images taken this way belong to you. What you can do with these photos is quite restricted because the image in the photo belongs to someone else. Because of this you cannot use such images for most commercial purposes, including licensing such images, selling prints of it or making advertisement from them. You can use these images for editorial use.
And of course there may be certain "public sites" where photography is restricted by law, military bases, public restrooms, etc. so be aware of local laws. But with all of that said, it is just good manners to ask permission of an individual before taking their picture.

People have already used "stand your ground" to commit murder and gotten away with it
But I understand your need for hyperbole since you never have any facts to back up your claims.
