Zimmerman was exempted the second he pursued Martin. There was no imminent threat.
Using your logic, a rapist who pursues a woman and then shoots her when she fights back, shouldn't be arrested.
Compare apples to apples or dont compare at all.
Now...before I go on....I dont have nearly enough information to determine if the shooting was justified or not....I am not on either side of the fence ion this...and no one should be.
That being said...back to apples to apples...
What WOULD have been a proper analogy....and using YOUR quote....
"Using your logic, a person who pursues someone they beleive raped someone then shoots that person when that person fights back, shouldn't be arrested"
But for some reason you have opted to cvompare Zimmerman to a rapist.
That is immature and not the American way.
Zimmerman's pursuit of an innocent kid wasn't lawful either. The kid wasn't doing anything wrong. Martin had no way of knowing whether or not Zimmerman was there to rape him so he had every right to fight back.
Stand your ground was not meant for people to chase down someone simply for walking while black in your neighborhood. Stand your ground doesn't apply.
Usually I would agree with that notion. But what was Martin doing in a gated community?
I used to have a condo in a gated community - there was only one entrance and exit in the entire community.....
Why the hell was Martin in a neighborhood that had only one way in and one way out????
