I don’t want to sound ignorant, but what could be ‘unlawful’ about self-defense....no matter who the individuals are who are involved???
RE: I don’t want to sound ignorant, but what could be ‘unlawful’ about self-defense..
The argument on the other side was that Zimemrman was the provocateur. He was specifically told NOT to follow Trayvon but he did anyway. The rest of the story is murky....
Trayvon noticed he was being stalked and then apparently asked Zimemrman why he was stalking him.... a fight ensued and Trayvon apparently got the better of Zimemrman, who then shot him.
Not sure if ‘self defense’ is called for here as Zimmerman was not in danger in the beginning. His pursuing Trayvon started the whole thing.
Liberals want a new standard: if a black man is beating the sh*t out of you, you must yell, scream and die.
Neighborhood Watch groups will be taught to 'fear all equally': a 90 year old grandmother, a five year old in a wheel chair, a six foot tall black man who looks like he's on drugs, an Arab screaming 'Allah Akbar'. All MUST be seen as equally dangerous.
Liberal: "why didn't you call the police on the grandmother walking with a cane in the neighborhood? Why so few 6 year old children called in?". "Are you racist?" (consequence of this? Police would quit responding - citizens would fear calling for help)
In the mind of the mindless - innocent grandmother and thugs MUST be seen as equal threats.
Total denial of reality is required in this brave new world.. Any other stance - any stance other than denial of reality, will be seen as racist.
Wanted Dead or Alive posters, angry mobs, the big bullies in the press ( my big brother will beat you up) - they'll all be out. In the mind of the mindless - they are all to be treated the same.

Zimmerman did not follow - I'll get the link of the police call and link it.
