Agreed. Trayvon would've been charged as an adult even tho he might beat the charges.

He proved you can pick a fight and kill someone and walk. What's to stop the next punk who wants to make a name for himself and maybe get rich writing a book about it?

You mention if you are in Florida. What if you are right near the state line and aren't sure which state you are in? Would you pull out a GPS to make sure you were in Florida before asking if it were Zimmerman while you were getting your brains smashed?
you dont need that to claim self defense. self defense means you feel you are in imminent danger.

so that means if im walking down the street and somebody runs up behind me, startles me, makes me feel like im in inninent danger, i can use self defense and shoot them.

its the wild west in these gun happy states, which is why i said all blacks should get a gun.

It doesn't mean that. What you described is second degree murder case.

That said, to the OP, I agree that he should not fear for his life. The one good thing this trial showed the general public was that the rhetoric utilized by the media was not supported by the facts of the case.
Do you feel that OJ Simpson and Casey Anthony deserve the same respect?

A Friday morning quarterback could tell you chasing after someone on foot, after you were following them around in your car, WHILE ARMED, is a disaster waiting to happen.
