To my knowledge, a stand your ground law doesn’t allow you to chase someone down and shoot them on suspicion of trespassing which is what Zimmerman did. Seems like this doesn’t really have anything to do with a stand your ground law then.

Actually you are missing a lot of facts. Zimmerman lost sight of the kid and was going to find the police(according to the 9/11 calls)when he was attacked by the kid. Kid was on top of him beating the sh** out of him, Zimmerman was yelling for help(can be heard on the 9/11 tapes. When he shot him and police arrived on the scene Zimmerman was bleeding and had grass stains on his back.

Lots of facts are not being brought out by the MSM because they want to use this as a race card and to throw sh** at the 2nd amendment. The reason he hasn't been charged yet is because they have no evidence it was anything other than self defense, despite what many trolls have claimed on FR.

“..when he (Zimmerman) was attacked by the kid. Kid was on top of him beating the sh** out of him, Zimmerman was yelling for help(can be heard on the 9/11 tapes. When he shot him and police arrived on the scene Zimmerman was bleeding and had grass stains on his back.”

We don’t know that the kid attacked Zimmerman and we don’t know that Zimmerman did not try to detain Martin. For all we know Zimmerman was following him with his gun drawn. The fact that he ended up bloody and with grass stains does not show us how it happened. Martin ended up bloody also. He probably had grass stains as well. All we can assume is that Zimmerman was apparently losing the physical conflict when he fired his weapon. Even if Zimmerman was calling for help it does not mean he did not start the altercation. It means he was losing the fight he started or he was trying to set himself up as the victim before he fired.
