How do you do nothing wrong and still get in trouble? He was not innocently walking around in the wee hours, he appeared to be casing houses, in fact, Zimmerman stated on the 911 tape he was stopping and peering into houses. And he was never confronted by Zimmerman, but pursued, as also layed out in the 911 tape, and then George lost sight of him, gave up the pursuit, and was headed back to his car. Then innocent St. Treyvon, who could have easily went to his father’s place, doubled back, confronted then attacked Zimmerman. I encourage you to read the court transcripts. Your perceived narrative seems gleaned straight from the MSM.

Stand your ground results are not a tragedy, they are a victory of an individual’s right to not be harmed or killed by an attacker. All you need is one aggressive angry person and one that fears for their safety and/or life, and victory can ensue and has.

The point I was making was that based on the general media I was exposed to, I did not perceive him as a “young child”, but rather a tall skinny teenager who might have had some anger issues. I will try to look at the transcript if it is on line, which it probably is.
