People keep assuming that Martin had no reason to fear Zimmerman because they themselves knew he was the neighborhood do-gooder and but Martin had no way of knowing that he wasn't a pervert or serial killer. Zimmerman could have and should have announced that he was the neighborhood watch and maybe this whole thing wouldn't have happened.
I'd tell her to run to the nearest occupied house, or use her phone (Martin was on the phone) to call the police.

I wouldn't tell her to start fighting the man, unless he grabbed her. Now its possible that Zimmerman grabbed Martin, its possible he got out of the car, gun drawn. But there is reasonable doubt, and none of that has anything to do with stand your ground.

Let's say my daughter is followed, and has a gun in her possession. The guy grabs her by the arm she shoots him. The stand your ground law protects her from prosecution.

Stand Your Ground makes sense in your home, but it's like a license to kill on the streets, in my opinion, so long as you do it without any witnesses.
But this is because of the Martin/Zimmerman trial, and its kind of silly because stand your ground had nothing to do with this trial and acquittal.

Did you see the video of Stevie saying he would not come to FL ?

The guy was stoned on something.

Yet he lives in a state and pays taxes to support that judicial system that uses stand your ground. What a fool.

I wonder if Stevie has ever used an armed body guard for self defense ?

He shouldn't have gotten out of the car. That alone isn't illegal, but followed by him confronting Martin, he introduced negligence on his part. That opens him for a civil suit, and I hope Martins parents take him for every penny.

Illegal? No. Wrong place? Yep, but Zimmerman put himself in that place.

Maybe Stevie can do a anti stand your ground video where they give him a gun and he shoots up the whole neighborhood but misses the bad guy.

Evidence that Trayvon Martin Doubled Back


You should actually read the evidence before making assumptions-

Who cares...Stevie Wonder-another star who lives in a bubble.
