    Obviously superbadbrutha has never heard of the law of self defense....if so...does not understand it and is trying to avoid any talk about it.....failing to understand the law of self defense renders him incapable of really understanding what went down on that dark and rainy night in Floriday.

    Here is The Florida Law on the use of deadly force in self defense...and it is pretty much standard in any state in America...those who try to claim floridas laws are different simply are ignorant.

    Florida Statute 776.012 

    Use or threatened use of force in defense of person.—

    (1) A person is justified in using or threatening to use force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other’s imminent use of unlawful force. A person who uses or threatens to use force in accordance with this subsection does not have a duty to retreat before using or threatening to use such force.
    (2) A person is justified in using or threatening to use deadly force if he or she reasonably believes that using or threatening to use such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony. A person who uses or threatens to use deadly force in accordance with this subsection does not have a duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground if the person using or threatening to use the deadly force is not engaged in a criminal activity and is in a place where he or she has a right to be.

    That is "NOT" what the law says. They may have been the way the court defined it but that is not the way the law is written in Florida. Besides according to one of you he didn't disobey the dispatcher since he wasn't following TM he was simply looking for the address on the house TM disappeared behind so he could tell the police (according to GZ's dad the judge), but he wasn't following him. Seems odd that the "Captain" of the Neighborhood Watch doesn't understand how the numbers on streets in the neighborhood he is watching works? Oh well I guess he couldn't just sit in the vehicle and point to the house when the police arrived.


    And I was not talking about the trial of Zimmerman. I was suggesting a point. If you don't agree with the point then just don't agree. Much better than attempting to draw me into a debate about a trial I have no problem with to begin with.

    The fact is you are trying to discuss stuff which you have no knowledge of....all the crap you post on here has been debunked and especially was debunked in a trial by jury who heard all the evidence which obviously you have not....yet you persist in posting erroneous crap.....thus you are not qualified to talk about any of this....if you want to get up to speed on this case...study up and get back with us...until then you are wasting board space.

    So you don't agree with the chances of the opposite scenario happening, that TM would have been given the benefit of self defense if he was the only person left standing if he claimed GZ was confrontational and didn't identify himself as a member of the Neighborhood Watch. A simple yes or no with a brief explanation, without having the testimony GZ's as hindsight since he would be dead in the scenario, will suffice.

    By the way there is no reason to dispute anything that happened in the trial the end result is all that matters. So please feel free to go bother somebody else or just ignore me all together. Thanks in advance.
