So I was right when I said you have her convicted despite what the law says. So where are you any different from those who condemned Zimmerman out of hand? You say she had choices, Zimmerman had choices. She could have retreated, Zimmerman could have retreated. In the end Zimmerman believed he needed to do what he did to protect himself, so did this woman. Nobody had to die in either case. But neither person acted outside of the law as it exists. Yet you applaud one and want to hang the other.

And I'm curious as to your source for information. None of the news reports I've been able to find say anything about her chasing him down and killing him. You say it comes from family members, yet none of them were there, where they?

It’s the difference between being pinned down with yiur head being bashed inot the concrete on the one hand, and being in a locked car with ample means of safe escape on the other. Zimmerman appears to have been within the law, and this woman appears not to have been, on the basis of what is known and the law.

By the way, it seems to have been confirmed that the dead man had two bullets in his chest. That does not appear to be very supportive of the woman’s claim.

You haven't been right since you have been here -- 2012-08-04.

Big difference from her situation and Zimmerman's that night.

You say she had choices, Zimmerman had choices.

Name hers and name Zimmerman's

She could have retreated, Zimmerman could have retreated.

Zimmerman was pinned to the ground. She wasn't.

In the end Zimmerman believed he needed to do what he did to protect himself, so did this woman. Nobody had to die in either case.

Who are you kidding.??? He was bleeding with a broken nose and having his head banged on the concrete and being prevented from getting up, and Martin was reaching for his weapon, or are you living in some kind of fantasy world???

But neither person acted outside of the law as it exists.

Baloney. If she got out of the safety of her car and shot him she was not acting in self defense but going on the offense.

Yet you applaud one and want to hang the other.

You are the one applauding her actions and justifying the unjustifiable.

And I'm curious as to your source for information.

I posted it -- something you haven't done.

None of the news reports I've been able to find say anything about her chasing him down and killing him.

How can there be two bullets in his chest and only one bullet hole in the window unless she got out of the car to shoot him???

You say it comes from family members, yet none of them were there, where they?

The single bullet hole in the side window and the two bullets in the chest were there and they speak loudly.

“Zimmerman could have retreated.”

Zimmerman had a man sitting on his chest, banging his head repeatedly into the concrete.

Not the same at all.

I don’t know whether this woman is innocent or guilty, but her situation was not Zimmerman’s.

GZ had a guy sitting on his chest pounding his head into the pavement and then reaching for his gun openly saying that GZ would die that night.

If you believe that case is similar to this case you need your head examined. Seriously.

She probably could have, but Zimmerman could not. Martin attacked him and had him pinned to the ground, and they were fighting over Zimmerman's gun, which Martin had just discovered. Fortunately, it was pointed at Martin when it went off.
