As I recall, Zimmerman did not enact the defense of stand your ground.
as i recall, i never said he did. i said martin was entitled to that defense, as any sane and rational person would fear for their life if some unidentified stranger got out of his truck to chase you after you ran away.
He didn't have a scratch on his finger, but gashes on his head. Casper the Ghost didn't do it, Martin did.
a gash is quite a characterization of a laceration of about 1 cm and 3 cm.
If I were walking through someone else's neighborhood, and I were confronted about my trespassing there, I would act with contrition, not a violent attack.
what don't you get about the fact that martin was in a common area where he was residing and entitled to be there?
there was no trespassing involved, you racist POS.
Zimmerman had every right to challenge him.
for what?
martin had more right to challenge zimmerman, as martin was not the one in the dark who followed someone without identifying himself and chasing that person after they ran away.
But we are allowed to ask someone what they are doing.
zimmerman didn't do that though. he never even identified himself or mentioned that he was part of a neighborhood watch.
That person is not allowed to attack us for doing so.
you are allowed to attack someone if you fear for your life though, and anyone would be in that kind of fear if an unidentified stranger followed them in the dark and chased them towards their residence.
Zimmerman didn't argue stand your ground, just the garden variety self defense.
Once again, you're making up shit as you go without regard to fact, but in an effort to make Zimmerman look bad.
once again, i never said zimmerman argued SYG. you're making up shit as you go without regard to fact because you can't rebut anything i am actually saying. that's about the extent of your mental capabilities.
you can not tell me that if you personally were walking home from the store to your own residence, and some unidentified stranger followed you in their truck for a while, and then got out of their truck with a gun to chase you as you ran, that you would run straight to your residence and show them where you live, especially if you were an unarmed minor. and you can not tell me that you would not be entitled to fear for your life if a stranger followed you and chased you like that.
if you argue otherwise, i'd love to get your address and send some people to follow you around. we'll see if you still sing the same tune.
