you can also die from someone following you, u kno, like a heart attack if ur scared
so perhaps we should allow people to kill people for that and use that as SYG too

Sound familiar so far?

Except in this case, the 17 year old kid was minding his own business, doing nothing wrong, while Zimmerman was following him in his car and then chasing him on foot (against orders from the police). Did Trayvon Martin have the right to confront Zimmerman, because I would have been sure Zimmerman was out to hurt me if I'd been him. Normal, rational people don't follow and chase you--the people who do that usually want to hurt you. We have Zimmerman's side of the events on what happened when they met, and those are the words of a guy who was trying to avoid a conviction for murder, and who didn't have anyone to contradict what he said because the other witness--Trayvon Martin--was dead.

So punching someone in the face is the same thing as potentially scaring someone to death.

I'm surprised I havnt died, all those people following me on the freeway.

Does anyone really think Zimmerman would have died from this fight? I doubt it. He didn't even elect to go to the hospital. If you are seriously injured you want to go to the hospital because you realize you are seriously injured and need treatment!
If you repeat a "big lie" it must be true, right?
Sadly, that is not the case.

A felon died in the commission of assault and attempted murder.
Justice was served.
Concocting explanations that exonerate the felon and persecute his victim is absurd.
Demanding "justice for felons" is hypocrisy and disingenuous.

Shame on you.

What? Of course it's murder to kill a felon. It's murder to intentionally kill anyone unless it' self defense.

George Zimmerman acted in self defense.

That is why the verdict was not guilty.
