Travon is Exhibit “A” in support of Stand Your Ground. Had Zimmerman not been armed he would have been beaten to death.
Yep. Trayvon was going to beat Zimmerman to death because he thought he was gay. Zimmerman stopped a Hate Crime perpetrated by a protected class member against what he thought was a a now even more protected class member.
Why isn’t the Lavender Mafia crying about that? Oh, thats right, they haven’t heard about that. Oh well.
SYG has nothing whatsoever to do with the Trayvon/Zimmerman incident. It was not used by the defense, and simply does not apply. The T/Z situation was a straight legitimate self-defense (in fear of death and unable to retreat). Such a defense is applicable in ANY (even the most rabid anti-gun) state. Of course, in the anti-gun states, the weapon of defense probably won't be a firearm....but the legal doctrine applies.
