1. Trayvon Martin was provoked into beating up George Zimmerman.
2. Provocation is based purely upon one person's perception of a situation instead of the actual circumstances and events. So, just looking at someone in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable or wronged is sufficient provocation to beat up someone.
3. The aggressor is defined by the presence of a weapon rather than by a person's intentions and actions.
This bill will define anyone who uses a gun as a criminal automatically while criminals can use the "they said or did something that offended me" line as a defense to justify assault, battery, and murder.
Isn't fantasy land great? You just make up your own version of reality and everyone else is forced by law to go along.
Liberal gun control fantasies continue in the Florida state legislature.
So if you “dis” someone, and they start beating your head in, you “provoked” them and are no longer eligible to defend your life.
Sheesh, talk about life imitating art! Please tell me his first name isn't Bob.
Zimmerman didn’t use the “stand your ground” law. He based his defense on classic self-defense.
But they keep trotting this out because from day one the Left has been determined to get rid of this law and have used any propaganda tool they can find including outright falsehoods.
don’t kid yourself....tray was going to use syg...what do you think the chick was for...coooborate his stalking defense. from what I could tell from her testimony...she’d been through tray’s routine before.
Then his ho mean mugged us again, so...
GZ still would be acquitted. TM ended his cellphone call with girlfriend when he told her he was very near to the condo and he already lost GZ. Per cellphone record/timeline, the moment TM closed his cellphone, GZ was just getting out of his SUV after he ended his cellphone call with 911. At that moment TM is near his girlfriends condo, GZ was faraway on the road that is around the row of condos to where TM was located. Cops arrive to find TM had moved away from the condo and headed toward GZ after he told his girlfriend he lost him. It is not hard to establish that TM decided to go look for GZ to settle the insult of being followed by him. Once TM goes looking for GZ he is now the aggressor and the one that was re escalating a situation.
Sure. George Zimmerman provoked Lil’ Skittles by grabbing Skittles’ hands, smashing them against Zimmerman’s face and bashing his head against the sidewalk.
Got in a similar fight once myself. I bruised this guy’s knuckles with my nose and dislocated his knee with my groin.
Why are FL legislators twerking on the payroll, anyway?
Oh, it says tweaking. Never mind...
No need to read more; we all know where this one is coming from (and going).
