    I am no supporter of Zimmerman by any stretch I do not think this incidence is a act of stand your ground. The police department looks to have tried to use the law to protect someone who was wanting to be one of there own. If Zimmerman father was a judge like supperbad has said that would be even more of a cause. I hope justice is served in this case. Stand your ground is not following someone down the street. It does not matter who hit who first if your actions help start a fight and you kill the person with your bare hands it is manslaughter at the least. To use the injustice done by police and others to promote the gun-control agendas of sharpton and I assume yourself. Has nothing to do with the loss of a child. That is attempting to profit from his death. As I have said justice will hopeful be served but using this to further personal agenda is wrong.

    To make sure I stay on topic I believe police corruption is why Zimmerman was not arrested that night.

    lawyer said this isn't a case of stand your ground, it's a case of self-defense.... way to come to a conclusion that Zimmerman's lawyer figured out and announced last week. lol

    I cited the full pertinent text of the relevant Florida statute. The Wiki article is not about the Florida statute but about stand your ground laws general. And for that matter, it largely reinforces what I stated.

    No witness has stated they saw everything that happened. We don't know who said what or who pushed who or what happened. And that's where we differ. A law that allows someone to walk up and pick a fight and get away with shooting him is letting a killer get away with murder.

    I agree but with SYG you don't know who started the fight because the other guy is dead.

    Without SYG a guy in Zimmerman's situation would have to prove he could not have avoided the situation or retreated before he'd be excused for using justifiable force. Had Zimmerman avoided the situation we wouldn't have a dead innocent 17 yo kid.

    That is exactly why the Stand Your Ground law is an abomination.

    It lets killers get away with murder.

    Self-defense is not murder, except in Leftninny Goofyworld, apparently....

    This kid would not be dead right now if Zimmerman had avoided confrontation.

    Had Zimmerman avoided confrontation or retreated, we wouldn't have a innocent 17 yo kid dead.

    To hell with what the law says.... no trial needed for you, huh?



    Sorry, according to FL law on the night in question, it was justifiable self defense.


    now if you don't like that law, work to change it, fine.... that's your right. however, to retroactively convict a person who broke no laws at the time is agenda 100%.

    To hell with justice, you want revenge

    Killing someone unnecessarily is not self defense, or at least shouldn't be.

    I don't disagree under the Stand Your Ground law.

    It's an bad law.

    It lets killers get away with murder.

    Thanks. That is what I am doing.

    Where did I say anything about convicting anyone? Fabrication.

    What did I write that justifies that accusation?

    See, there's your problem.... I posted that answer as you were posting your response, so I'll repeat it....


    That is every bit your right to say you don't agree with the law of self-defense, or SYG, or jaywalking, whatever.


    but at the night in question, it was legal to kill in what florida considers self defense. You can't rewrite the law and then go back an retroactively convict Zimmerman

    Not if you don't put yourself in the situation in the first place.

    The kid MIGHT NOT be dead right now if the "No LIMIT (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)" hadn't been suspended for TWO WEEKS for drug posession, then chose to assault Zimmerman, (according to BOTH eyewitnesses); "MIGHT NOT", because the lifestyle he was obviously living (witness his emails, ACTUAL appearance, etc.), carries a VERY SHORT LIFESPAN with it...he could well have been offed in his OWN neighborhood....

    Well gee, thanks.

    I've said nothing about convicting Zimmerman. What did I write where I said anything about that.

    That is why he was shot? What the hell are you talking about?

    We don't know if he started the fight or not.

    All we do know is that after Zimmerman, who has a history of anger management problems, left his care and walked to where Martin was and killed him.

    That's your opinion. I disagree.

    That's your opinion.

    It's not silly, it's a matter of you fabricating things I never said. It's a straw man fallacy. We see it here all the time.
