Amazing the pretzel logic you see in this case.

It was by the other guy, who was just minding his own business, Trayvon Martin.

Another fact-free liberal opinion in this case.

I guess the duty to retreat only applies to those with guns?

Why are people still writing about this case without having learned any of the facts?

Maybe this stalked guy is lucky in the skirmish and actually gets on top of this person for a time

He forgot to say that Trayvon was a homophobe.

Let’s suppose we suppose and imagine, while thinking about what might or might not have been. And what if we then suppose while imagining and thinking about slavery while we think about slavery and racism. That would be murder. Case closed.

This is “thinking” like a lump of stinky cheese.

Minding his own business? GZ reported that No Limits Nigga was acting strangely,as if he was on something.And,sure enough,the pathologist testified that he had a level of marijuana in his system that could affect his thinking and behavior.Add to that the evidence that he,a punk once found to be in possession of large quantity of women’s jewelry,was *lurking* in a complex that had had many break ins and the evidence *powerfully* suggests that he was doing *anything* but “minding his own business”.

Yes that concocted fantasy sounds like self defense. However, by evidence and witness testimony that is not even remotely close to what happened between TM and GZ. Anyone can spin what-if scenarios all day long. That doesn’t mean they have anything to do with reality.

Public mental and moral flatulence.

Sadly, not unexpected in a country that puts Obama in charge. Twice.

Quite a vivid imagination there...

Travon was just defending himself, while he was sitting on George’s chest beating his head into the ground.

Right...

The author is conflating two points:

1) In legal terms, self-defense is an affirmative defense to a charge of homicide (or battery). A homicide victim cannot assert self-defense, because they aren't being charged with a crime. It's moot.

2) Everyone has a right to self-defense.

Or put another way...

Supposed they both were armed and they pull out their pistols and shoot each other dead.

Who is the charged with murder? Who had a right to self-defense? Was Justice done? Who the hell cares? It's moot.

Simple. The one that calls the police first is not the one “looking for trouble”.

Is Mr. Nye one of those folks that will need to be added to the exploding head watch once the Kruidbos lawsuit releases all of the contents of ex-Saint Trayvon’s phone?

Zimmerman spotted someone who looked suspicious. He happened to be % correct. Trayvon was a drug dealer and was caught with stolen jewelry at school.

Good job George!
