Among those protesting that Zimmerman should be punished, some admitted that the flaw was actually found within the Florida law which departs significantly from the common law by allowing individuals who initiate confrontations to use deadly force to defend themselves without a duty to escape.

There are times I wish that I had the ability to grab people like this around the throat and scream into their face, "George Zimmerman did not initiate the confrontation with Trayvon Martin! It was Trayvon who initiated the confrontation! George Zimmerman was ONLY attempting to visually locate the suspicious person, when Martin approached him!"

You don’t understand that these people want to make suspecting a black person of criminal intent into justification for a beat down.
