The problem here is that according to the 911 audio I’ve heard, the kid was walking away and Zimmerman was following him. The 911 operator told him not to pursue but he ignored her, confronted the kid and shot him. That is not the purpose of the ‘stand your ground’ law
“Trayvon said, ‘What, are you following me for?’ and the man said, ‘What are you doing here?’ Next thing I hear is somebody pushing, and somebody pushed Trayvon because the head set just fell. I called him again and he didn’t answer the phone.”
I think it there’s a bit more to it than: he pursued the kid confronted the kid and shot him.
The 911 operator told him not to pursue but he ignored her, confronted the kid and shot him.
Your version sure makes it sound like cold blooded murder. That isn’t what happened though. You’re as bad as Al Sharpton spreading untruths
Wow. Which MSM outlet do you work for? Given the events, that’s typical of the slant and lack of full information we see from them.
Actually, no.
He said “ OK”, after being told not to follow.
The tape ends there. We don’t know if he followed or not. At some point, he says the kid is approaching him.
Need more info to draw conclusions.

I think we need to wait on some more information regarding this piece of the puzzle.
It is just as easy to conjecture that Martin hid in a doorway as Zimmerman walked past in the walkway (recall, Z. said he didn’t know where M was...).
Z. could have been following the dispatcher’s recommendation and, upon turning back to return to his vehicle, M could have come out of the shadows and confronted Z.
: That is not the purpose of the ‘stand your ground’ law :
Not under your conjecture. ‘Stand Your Ground’ would be applicable if the scuffle went down as described.
