Even if he was verbally threatening or abusive. To wit: you are not allowed to bash someone’s head in for being mean.


That is correct.

But if you have reason to fear for your life you can strike the first blow.

My point again is that here was a black kid, a street kid, being stalked by a vehicle. Dark night, all alone on the street.

You don’t think he was scared?

He was a street kid expecting a beat down.

Martin was a thug.
Zimmerman was stupid.

martin was a lot taller than Z....if martin was so "scared" why didn't he just run home?...he could have been inside with the door closed a minute or two....

does not add up...

Z used poor judgement but he didn't plan on hurting anyone and it was a tragic happening all around because of two people's actions...

Again, you are making stuff up.

Who testified that Zimmerman's vehicle "stalked" Martin?

Cone on, now. Get your facts straight. There was no vehicular ‘stalking.’ Z exited his vehicle and followed on foot while reporting to police’ dispatchers. He was returning to his vehicle when Travon confronted him.

Being watched from a distance is not placing anyone in threat. Let's cut the BS you are spewing.
