IF Trayvon had a right to be in the complex, so did George. If Trayvon had a right to be walking on the sidewalk, so did George.

I would quibble a little bit with this. I think that there is a hierarchy of "rights" here, if not in law then in social protocols.

This was a condominium community. The "rights" should descend as follows:

1. Owners first.

2. Renters second.

3. Temporary guests third. I won't distinguish between guests of owners vs. guests of renters.

The bottom line is that Trayvon Martin, as a guest of his step-mother (I think she was the owner/renter? of the condo unit), should have been more deferential to the residents who own the units. Instead, Martin was acting like everyone owed him something, and he was disrepectful to the people he encountered in the neighborhood into which he was invited as a guest.

Actually, Brandi Green was not Martin’s step-mother. Martin’s father was still married to Martin’s step-mother, but was shacking up with Green.

I understand your point.

I am just saying that if Trayvon as his dad(?) lived there, hada right to be there, George had at least the same right to be there.
