Hunt someone down??? All in your head.
"Florida 2011 Florida Statutes CHAPTER 776 JUSTIFIABLE USE OF FORCE[23] 776.012 Use of force in defense of person.—A person is justified in using force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other’s imminent use of unlawful force. However, a person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if: (1) He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony.(3) A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another to prevent the commission of a forcible felony"
.......Bashing someones head into the ground is enough justification before he split GZ's head open and walked over his dead body.
In other words, if you carried a gun, someone was bashing your head to the ground, you felt your life in danger,you would send him butterfly kisses???????

Well, we just might see how serious and life threatening those head injuries were if/when an immunity hearing takes place. Amazing that Martin could "bash" Zimmerman's head onto the grass or concrete so brutally, yet Zimmerman felt no need for immediate medical attention to his life-threatening wounds after he killed Martin. Zimmerman may have trouble convincing a judge that he feared for his life in that situation because Zimmerman has already been less than straight forward and credible about other issues in this case.

Thankfully, Mr. Zimmerman was carrying a tool for self defense. Who knows if he would be dead today had he not had it to defend himself from a vicious assault.
You have absolutely know idea what you are talking about. Did you listen to the bail hearing? The investigator said they had no proof that Zimmerman hunted, tracked or instigated the confrontation. Zimmerman lived in the neighborhood. Zimmerman could be in his truck or out of it and stand your ground would still apply. Martin put Zimmerman in danger when their paths crossed again. Martin was the agressor.
You're putting words into the investigator's mouth. He did not say what you think he said, nor did what he say mean what you think it means. The words "hunted" or "tracked" or "instigated" were not used.

coulda woulda shoulda. You are the clueless one here.
There is a good reason why the investigators are lacking evidence: THEY DID A POOR JOB GATHERING FACTS. Look home many witnesses spoke to the media saying the cops refused their input.
You don't know what happened, you are just swallowing all the junk Zimmerman is spewing.
The police and medics on the scene clearly assessed Zimmerman's injuries. They clearly made the decision not to arrest Zim. They clearly didn't think he was the aggressor.
Okay. How do you get from the medics on the scene clearly assessed Zimmerman's injuries (we do not know that, btw) to Zimmerman had life threatening or at least serious head injuries?
I'm not really talking about the police here; I'm talking about the amazing outcome of Zimmerman having his head "bashed" onto the grass and/or cement, in a brutal fashion, and yet he did not seem to think he should pursue more serious medical attention than the "medics" on the scene. Amazing. We're talking about fearing for his life because of the brutal bashing he was receiving from Martin.

all this tells me one thing: There is a big need for the facts to be tried.
too many opinions to decide so flippantly how the death of someone should be ruled
Good news:ARTICLE George Zimmerman, his attorney or the special prosecutor will be in court Tuesday for a scheduled arraignment. Zimmerman entered a not guilty plea to second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin weeks ago and waived his appearance for Tuesday. Attorney Mark O’Mara told News 13 that he planned on filing motions to protect the names of witnesses in the case. Once that is done, O’Mara said discovery or the state’s evidence will begin to flow. O’Mara continues to update the George Zimmerman website that he controls, Home. The attorney for Zimmerman says donations have been coming into the website ranging from $1 to $500
The article has been moved or deleted. Can't find it.
nope, it does not. You will see that you are the one with flawed thinking when the Judge sentences Zimmerman.
Stand your ground does NOT give anyone the right to hunt someone and kill them.
It works the other way around buddy. SYG would have protected Martin in this case
Bottom line is, to determine who is responsible for starting and escalating the situation, as to whether or not SYG can be applied here. If Z backed off and TM attacked him with no or very little provocation and got the upper hand, then Z may have been well with in the SYG guidelines.If he was being being beat as bad as he says, then with SYG he had no duty to find an avenue of escape. That is the major thing with this law, no duty to retreat makes it easier to defend ones self without having to worry about being wrongly prosecuted by overzealous DA's.
