The Castle doctrine actually has little to do with the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case.

Shot the fleeing perp in the back?

I can’t belive that is the intent of the law.

“We never locked our doors, never locked our cars. We left our keys in them.” Jimmy Hooks said.

Thats real smart....

“We never locked our doors, never locked our cars. We left our keys in them.”

My family never did that, even back in the 50s. It’s 1,000x worse out there now, so that’s just plain stupid to do, if you value your/your family’s safety.

The Castle Doctrine has zero to do with the overly-hyped situation in Sanford, Florida.

Zip, zero, nada.

*** The Castle doctrine actually has little to do with the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case. ***

Exactly. Zimmerman's situation was 'Stand Your Ground', or plain old Self-Defense and Justifiable Homicide.

Considering that 'little angel' (6'-2" athlete, druggie, thief, and 'gangsta') Trayvon was pounding Zimmerman's skull on the street and getting beat to the face, anyone else in that situation would defend themselves too, in any way they could. (And IMO all because Trayvon likely felt 'disrespected' by Zimerman's questioning)

So someone was going to die that night. Bad luck for Trayvon that it was him.
