The Florida “Stand Your Ground” law presents a clear and present danger to a reliable DemocRAT constituent group (i.e., criminals); hence, it must be eliminated.

I’ve seen several reports today that indicate that the MSM is toning down the rhetoric and starting to back away from their first rush to judgement.

Of course I still have many questions about the reporting and how it has been used to inflame the populace especially since the incident happened almost a month before the MSM started to pump their story and the politicians jumped on board.

If I might be forgiven here in way to many ways this is beginning to look like the stock market and how traders react to news. Most are a bunch of lemmings that feel and react versus examining and thinking through the reports that are used to influence the market. Frankly the lemmings tend to lose everything eventually and the thinkers are the ones that come out golden. With the caveat of the cheaters that manipulate and use insider information. What I think of them can’t be posted here.

Has anyone else seen any articles about Trayvon’s arrests for burglary?? Seems we have a blackout.

There is another good article on the subject at volokh.com.

For now, it should be noted that neither the M narrative or the Z narrative has anything to do with a duty to retreat. The retreat issue would only be relevant if Martin were the aggressor, and Z had the opportunity to escape from Martin in complete safety. Then, and only then, would different state standards about retreat be relevant. Simply put, everyone who has claimed that Florida's retreat rule affect the legal disposition of the controversy is either misinformed or mendacious.

The only thing I have to say is that Zimmerman should not have followed him after the dispatcher told him not to. Zimmerman should not have assumed that he was a suspect just because he was black. I know this from experience, we are guilty until proven innocent.

I can relate because of being followed in stores as a late teen and young adult! I now have to deal with the police in my own suburban neighborhood driving a BMW and being pulled over six times in eight weeks!

The statewide prosecutor appointed to this case was appointed to arrest for ANY excuse. She will arrest not exonerate. She already telegraphed this by stating she will bypass the grand jury process.

Elderly couple forced out of home after tweet claims killer of Trayvon Martin lives there

Published March 28, 2012 | NewsCore

An elderly Florida couple have been forced to move into a hotel after their home address was wrongly tweeted as belonging to the man who shot teen Trayvon Martin.

The tweets were traced back to a man in California and the address was also reportedly retweeted by director Spike Lee to his almost 250,000 followers.

The couple, aged 70 and 72, have been harassed with hate mail, been hassled by media and had scared neighbors questioning them since the tweet, their son Chip Humble told the Orlando Sentinel.

I don’t think either law specifically applies in this case. If you reasonably assume that you are in danger of serious bodily harm or death, you have a right to defend yourself with force, including deadly force, whether you have a concealed carry license or not.

Has any account so far stated exactly why poor Trayvon was in this community to start with? Was he walking his dog, visiting a friend, or what?

Assuming the facts given are essentially true I don’t see where the stand your ground law is relevant. If Zimmerman was on the ground being pummeled, his actions then became a matter of self defense.
