Martin had every right under the "stand your ground" law to IGNORE anyone and everyone who accosted him for any reason (except a cop). He was going about his business.

He was unarmed.

The law said he could use LETHAL FORCE only if he felt in fear of his life, and, lo and behold when he was accosted by an armed Hispanic male on a dark rainy night he would certainly have been allowed by Florida law to KILL Zimmerman.

No doubt you'd had your pistol out and would have been pumping round after round into Zimmerman if you'd been put in the same position.

BTW, that law does not say that ONLY the guy with the gun has the right of self-defense.

There is no evidence that Martin was accosted, this is a figment of your imagination. Further it is not likely that Martin knew that Zimmerman was armed, this is also a figment of your imagination.

"No doubt you'd had your pistol out and would have been pumping round after round into Zimmerman if you'd been put in the same position"

Stick to making wild unfounded accusations toward news stories rather than to fellow freepers. Unlike the individuals in this story I am able to refute you.
