If someone is astride you and beating you to a pulp, you’re hardly in a position to retreat, but then decide not to because you’re going to Stand Your Ground. SYG has absolutely nothing to do with this case, although a lot of lefties and MSM demagogues (but I repeat myself) seem to think otherwise.

Going for ther stand your ground law means the case can bew thrown out/dismissed and from what I understand, they could appeal to the stand your ground law even if the case didn’t actually involve the ‘rules’ of stand your ground

However, since thge biased judge refuses to recuse himself fro mthe case- I seriously doubt he will allow the argument swince that would mean the biased judge would lose hte limelight he’d gain from a trial and conviction of a ‘white’ man

There was a ‘lawyer’ (liberal) on today arguing that because zimmerman didn’t ‘go to the hospital, that means he couldn’t argue justifiable homicide due to self defense’ (not direct quote- but close enough) If that is the case, then Sicne when did the requirement to defend yourself with deadly force include the prerequisite that you must go to the hospital immediately after the incident?

I hate to go against the general trend here, but Zimmerman would never have been in that position had he just minded his own business.

Neighborhood watches tend to be run by petty little tyrants like the type who run HOA’s and are staffed by nebby busybodies with too much time on their hands. Sorry, I see anyone walking down the street, Black kid or otherwise, and I ignore him. He ain’t bothering me, so I could care less about where he goes or what he does.

Look, I really don’t care what happens in this case, I have no dog in the fight. But I’m enough of a resident of Realville to know that regardless of what the outcome of the criminal; case is, George Zimmerman probably doesn’t have a long future ahead of him. If convicted he’ll get “inmate justice” like Jeffrey Dahmer, or if acquitted someone on the street will take him out. BTW, that’s not a prediction, just an observation.
