Devil’s Advocate for a second.
If someone is following you rather ominously at night, why do YOU not have the right to confront that person? SYG works both ways. Trayvon may have thought he was being stalked. Trayvon was a 17 year-old kid.....for all he knew GZ could be some sex pervert into teenage boys.
Just sayin’
Well just saying but you could be some sex pervert into teenage boys.
Straw man.
TM had the opportunity to call the police to report that he was being “stalked.” He didn’t. He had the opportunity (and time) to go “home” and get away from the “stalker.” He didn’t.
TM confronted GZ, which was his right. But then he became the aggressor when he began beating GZ “MMA-style.” Had TM killed GZ by beating his head into the concrete or getting GZ’s gun and shooting him, it would have been murder not self defense.
Following someone is not a crime, especially when it is along a public walkway where you have the right to be.
Even confronting another person verbally is not a crime.
However putting your hands on another person is a crime, and the prosecution has already admitted that Martin was on top of Zimmerman doing just that.
for all he knew GZ could be some sex pervert into teenage boys.
Isn't that "profiling"???
Call the Justice Department.
