It definitely is difficult to see how just plain off some people can be.

Think of the fun we'll have when the NOT GUILTY verdict comes down.

I've often said I don't hang around with stupid people in real life. Hold the door for me. I'm right behind you.

I see acceptable behavior is to be a gun toting vigilante with a chip on your shoulder and anger management issues to chase a kid, NOT follow CHASE a kid through his neighborhood, but it is unacceptable behavior for a kid clearly frightened of the person CHASING after him to "stand his ground" after failing to determine if the person chasing them was doing so with benign intent. .

Stand your ground implicate defense not attack. Tm attacked.
TM was followed and scared so he attacked gz. All he had to do was to go home. Also where is the respect for elders? For a "child" as some portray it here tm didn't have much respect for older people.

Because zimmerman could have said (or yelled out, if he was not close to martin) that he was a NW person and just wanted to confirm that Martin did live in the complex or was visiting someone there.

He did no such thing.

He was 'silent'.

Zimmerman could have been a cop..but a police officer identifies him/her self as such; giving someone the chance to stop or run. Zimmerman did not identify himself as anything at all. To Trayvon, he could have been a pervert.

That doesn't negate the fact that the stupid kid could and should have just gone on home.

i suppose she has the right to feel threatened; she does not have the right to launch a pre-emptive attack simply on the basis of 'feelings.'

what you seem to be saying is that i can attack and beat up anyone who approaches me at night as i long as i claim to 'feel' threatened.
Exactly! You've got it now!

Zimmerman did not have the right to stalk Martin and kill him just because he 'felt' threatened!

Why do you think he wasn't going home?
Because your Lord George told the cops that?
Your Lord George is a certified liar.

Why would Martin say "why are you following me" to (genuflect when you read the name) George if Lord George wasn't following him?

Let the story develop. Sometime, there will be a trial. Until that time, those that really Need to feel right and dictate others positions, they will get lonely, and seek out other threads to bash people on.
