wow. he said that he didnt regret getting out of the car. Huh? like you dont regret shooting him. And now he said it was god's plan. Dont bring god into this dog
This is kind of crazy. You have people going out of their way to try and defend stalking someone in the night by saying: "well technically it isn't illegal".
If your mom was being stalked, and reacted, but then got shot would you be so quick to claim the legalities of the case? "Well, technically, my mom shouldn't have been suspicious of a stranger following her and initiating the confrontation by spraying him with mace".
If the law didn't matter, there wouldn't be a trial
Shooting TM was wrong morally yes. He was wrong to follow him yes. However, it's the law that matters. If GZ acted within the boundaries of the law, nothing else matters.
It's not defending him. It's addressing the culpability as it relates to Florida's statutes.

This is ridiculous- the kid obviously felt threatened by the older adult following him...he expressed that to his friend on the phone.
he probably won't is what im hearing...When does George get to take the stand?
Yea the law is so crazy although in the example....oddly enough they make the exception for women. The incident you described happened with my cousin and his baby mamma.Exactly. That's how the law works in FL and other places. And I agree it's pretty twisted.
That's why you always hear people say "I didn't throw the first punch." Throwing the first punch is nearly always considered the most aggravating factor and used in self-defense counter-arguments.
But if you think about it, being followed isn't necessarily grounds for attacking, because it sets a horrible precedent and slippery slope.
Example: I'm walking through the city at night. Someone's following me, at every turn, I become alarmed and punch him in the mouth. What if he was gonna ask me for directions, hand me a club flyer, ask for change, etc.?
See how that could be perceived as a slippery slope? That would create an incredibly schizophrenic community if every time you become paranoid, you could strike. That's why law is so interesting. So much open for interpretation.
And it's also important to know what exactly happened in this case. What if he was cornered and GZ said something threatening? What other alternative does a scared 17 year old have? Maybe he feared for his life? That's another possibility. No one knows though.
He aint gettin anywhere near the standWhen does George get to take the stand?
He aint gettin anywhere near the stand
No regrets...
GOD's plan...
sounds about right....religion and death>atheism as history has shown time and time again. Religion Actions without culpability and accountability...well that's until you reach this so called unproven afterlife.wow... he said it was God's plan
that should sit well with the jury.
Zimmerman had every right to follow and verbally interact with Martin that night. There are absolutely ZERO laws against those actions, and neither following, nor verbally interacting with Martin pushes the situation up the force scale.problem is he shouldnt follow anyone (regardless of race) and call the cops (and not the non emergency line) if he believed a person was up to something serious
I still don't like the fact that gz cant be questioned...
wait what? Its his 5th amendment right not to testify. Are sons of judges the only ones afforded that right?GZ dads a judge
That's why he's not taking the stand
But nobody thinks that's a factor
i think he just means since his dads a judge he put him on game of what to do and not to do to help ur case which in this case is not take the standI still don't like the fact that gz cant be questioned...

Got proof? There is no evidence saying he did and even if he did , the boy was protecting himselfinitiating a confrontation would be walking up to them and saying something. (which trayvon did)
"Not life threatening injuries"................got him.
