The only difference is that Trayvon Martin was minding his own business, heading home with a bag of Skittles and a bottle of iced tea not stalking George Zimmerman so your scenario is a bit pointless.

Trayvon Martin's marijuana suspension means very little | HULIQ

Who announced it? A Fox affiliate?

Word is Trayvon was found to have THC, a key drug in marijuana, in his system.

In regards to an earlier conversation, "intermediate range" is apparently defined as "1 to 18 inches" in the case of a gunshot.

Autopsy of Trayvon Martin reportedly shows fatal bullet fired from 'intermediate range' | Fox News

Quote:
Dr. Michael Baden, the former New York City medical examiner, said "intermediate" in such cases is defined as the muzzle of the gun being one to 18 inches away from the entry point when fired.

"If the muzzle is right against the skin, that’s a contact wound," Baden said. Anything beyond 18 inches is considered "distant" range in coroner's parlance, Baden said.
So, yesterday's news reports from NBC that reported the shots fired from "intermediate" range actually support the other reports that there were powder burns indicating a close proximity between the gun and the target. It's a shame that NBCs reporters lack the thoroughness of other networks when reporting issues on this case. They could have avoided some confusion for their readers.

The evidence supporting self defense get stronger and stronger.

Yet another person attempting to vilify the victim.

Interesting that these same people ignore or discount George Zimmerman's arrest record of assaulting a police officer and domestic violence.

I said listen to what is coming out on the news, it debunks what all of you Trayvon defenders are saying. He was a punk trouble maker and he paid with his life for it.

He was a 17 year old who probably told Zimmerman, who had a gun, to go F-himself. Zimmerman was wrong that night, whether or not he eventually pulled the trigger because he was getting beaten. I said this weeks ago. He shouldn't have gotten out of his car and followed an unknown person with a gun.

I am not a "Trayvon" defender at all. If I saw a young man I didn't think belonged in my neighborhood, I might call the police too. I wouldn't go out and shoot him, however.

So? I guess we should shoot everyone who has smoked pot. That would cut the population in our country by at least half.

It stays in your system up to 6 months after you've smoked it. So whats your point? What was in Zimmerman's system? Oh thats right, he was never tested.
