What about Martin's right to 'stand his ground?' (Here we go!)

Lighten up Francis.

You look like Bill Maher’s dad.

Yep

Dain Bramage and death are very real consequences to a fight.

Zimm was within his right of self defense.

He couldn’t possibly stand his ground, as he was on his back.

Are you trying to tell us that Chris Farley faked his own death so that he could have a lopadicophamy and come back as a lawyer/ judge?

Sex changes are celebrated in this culture so he probably didn't want to bring shame on his family by becoming a lawyer.

If Martin was frightened or concerned about being followed, Martin could have dialed 911. Zimmerman did.

Yeah, but Zimmerman was creepy - only a creep would call the police. </sarcasm>

Instead he talked to Rachael. And we don’t know what she said to him, we weren’t there - but one thing we do know is that after talking to her, from Dad’s (girlfriend’s) yard, he went the hundred + yards back to where he had been “frightened” by Zimmerman.

And another thing we understand, from her testimony, is that, she and Trayvon were close enough that he spent hours on the phone with her that day, she "couldn’t stand to see the body,” was a no-show at Trayvon’s funeral, and lied - under oath - about the reason.

It couldn’t be that she dared Trayvon to go back and confront Zimmerman, and couldn’t look Trayvon’s relatives in the eye because she instigated that confrontation that ultimately killed him, now could it?

Well, kids will be kids, I suppose. We’re supposed to cut her - and Trayvon - infinite slack, But we are to destroy George Zimmerman, his wife, and his parents if a Butterfly Effect scenario can be drawn which could link Zimmerman’s decisions as a neighborhood watch captain to a bad final result.
