Unfortunately most of the assumptions you made in your statement above aren't supported by facts or evidence that have been presented already in this case.

Trayvon Martin attacked George Zimmerman and ended up dead, don't attack people and you won't get shot.

Zimmerman did not base his defense on the stand your ground law, but on plain old self defense.

Don't follow people in the dark of the night, and you won't get attacked( if Trayvon really did attacked GZ) Like I said SYG does not apply to blacks, cause if Trayvon really did attack some creepy dude that was following he had every right to stand his ground, but sadly he got killed for it.

He said he reached FOR the gun. Besides, it doesn't mean anything. It was raining and the fingerprint tech said it wasn't uncommon for the prints to NOT show up even if he did touch it considering all the factors.

Defendants claiming "stand your ground" are more likely to prevail if the victim is black. Seventy-three percent of those who killed a black person faced no penalty compared to 59 percent of those who killed a white.
