Now the story is changing. Now that it looks like TM approached GZ, the apologist talk looks like "Well, if GZ just didn't get out of his car and call 911, none of this would've happened". Maybe if GZ just cowered in his house all night and didn't come out, TM would've been alive today?
Hey, I thought Florida has a stand-your-ground law which states that a person may use force in self-defense when there is reasonable belief of a threat, without an obligation to retreat first.
You guys are trying to say it applies to Zimmerman, when it actually applies to Martin, because it was Martin who was using self-defense when there was a reasonable belief of a threat (posed by a guy who is chasing him).
Where's the threat coming from? Did GZ come up to TM and push, shove, poke, or anything of the sort? You cannot assault anyone if they keep their distance, ever. If you do, you will pay the price.
Suits me just fine. Less of the big city types coming down. Keeps NC beautiful, clean, and less metro. Plus, I get my cushy academic job without as much competition. You can stay in broke Kalifornia and I can stay in much more affordable NC with its beautiful beaches, OBX, and the Blue Ridge mountains. The gay marriage ban might just push out even more of my competition. Make lemonade out of lemons I suppose.
Incidentally, the Ph.D.s are homegrown in UNC, NC State and Duke. Thousands and thousands of them.
That's nice. But, nice try on the diversionary geographical location tactic. Might want to focus on the TM vs. GZ case instead, especially considering it's a TM/GZ thread.

We don't know if GZ pulled a gun and TM felt that he needed to fight for his life.
GZ's story just does not add up. If he felt that TM was such a threat, why didn't he wait to let the police handle the situation?

None of this would have happened if George Zimmerman would have minded his own frickin' business.
