Doesn't have to be. There is evidence of assault justifying the use of force. There you go spouting off shit that you believe and has nothing at all to do with the truth.
We know technically your pussy ass coward is probably right and so the laws need to be changed.
Skull is right George played cops and robbers instead of staying put like he should have.
And he didnt argue stand your ground but used stand your ground arguments.
We need to fix the law. It allows pussies and cowards to get away with unnecessary murder
You are stupid enough to think that calling me a pussy means you are right.
The laws do not need to be changed.
GZ did not play cop, he was protecting his neighborhood.
It wasn't a case of stand your ground, it was pure self-defense. You know nothing about stand your ground laws.
The law doesn't need to be changed, it worked perfectly. A violent thug attacked someone and got what he deserved.
George wasn't protecting his neighborhood he was a menace to any person of color living there. That he would arm himself while on "neighborhood watch" shows his inclination towards a confrontation. His gun emboldened GZ to be more obtrusive in his watching" of Martin. Rather than watching and reporting, he interacted with his prey far more than he ought to have.
1. GZ followed Martin slowly in his truck
2, GZ passed by Martin and parked ahead of him partially blocking the sidewalk
3.GZ got out of his truck. That further alarmed Martin.
4. Martin altered the trajectory of his path to make a wide berth away from GZ but close enough to "stare" at the ominous figure who seemed to be stalking him.
5. Martin panicked and ran…GZ gave chase.
6. Matin, got lost and couldn't find his house,
7, While Trayvon searched for his house he encountered GZ
8. GZ, and Martin had words and, according to GZ, Zimmerman reached for his telephone and exposed the gun,
9. If GZ can be believed, Martin tried to grab his gun and a struggle ensued.
The killing of Martin is clouded with uncertainty because no one saw whole thing. But if Martin had been a White kid having no criminal convictions, I wonder if his death would be co callously dismissed by a group of angry RW White males. The same speculation could be applied if Black cops started to kill unarmed White men at the rate White cops kill unarmed Black men.
Trayvon's death is symbolic of the RW White angst so prevalent in our society today. It isn' about justice or right or wrong. Looking at the various comments here I see that Black life is still being devalued as much as it always has been. The core grievance of the Black Lives Matters movement has been more than justified right here on USMB!
