Of course GZ had no duty to cower in his car from a thug. He had no duty to die lest TM be offended.
The thug had a duty to not assault people.
The thug failed his duty. GZ had not failed on his. One wonders, now that GZ has been mugged, is he still a Democrat?
What's happened since we've been hearing this?
Case 1: 2 14 yr old boys, followed a kidnapper on their bicycles, with the kidnapper dumping his little girl victim out on the street and taking off. The boys (black) were hailed as heroes. What did they do differently from Zimmerman? Arguably, it was more dangerous. They were unarmed. They followed a violent kidnapper driving a car, not just a suspicious person on foot, who had not committed any crime up to that point at that location.
Case 2: a 64 yr old man is being charged with child endangerment for NOT intervening when 3 perps, 15 yr old blacks are beating the crap out of a 15 yr vic (white). He followed the new Zimmerman Doctrine, don't get involved and call the cops. Bingo!
Lesson: Do anything to demonize George Zimmerman. Logic, rationality, common sense must all be thrown out, even by wet behind the ears Class of 2015 law students.
The author should be really revolutionary and defend Zimmerman and defend Stand Your Ground, instead of going along with the crowd. Son, stupid and sheeplike is no way to go through life. Try thinking.
