I did not state outright that Zimmerman attacked Martin.
I quoted you saying it.
No, you quoted me paraphrasing the Florida law on 'stand your ground' as might potentially have implications regarding this case in response to those proposing the 'stand your ground' law as some flailing defense for Zimmerman's actions. You did not quote me from that post saying specifically that Zimmerman attacked Martin (prior to drawing and shooting) because I never said it in that post.

One detail you omit, for example, which just came up in the other thread, is that Martin was in someone's back yard. Not a good place to be. That's trespassing, and would only have tended to confirm Zimmerman's suspicion that Martin was up to no good.
All accounts by witnesses have the imbroglio as occurring along the pathway between the back of townhouses facing each other. Given that the victim was being pursued by a red-shirted wacko, we cannot assume that the pursuee would necessarily be going the same route as he normally might, in the first place. But the event happened along that route of pathway between back of residences used by many and used normally.
Is your only resort to complete fatuousness here in claiming that Martin "was in somebody's back yard, not a good place to be"?
That's where the conflagration might have spilled into, even if it wound up there at all. But you use another poster's reference to the incident occurring in "somebody's back yard" in his description for the intra-residence pathway where it actually occurred as evidence that Martin was sneaking around in somebody's back yard.
So yeah, pardon me for omitting that little detail.
OK, just who is "making it up" here?
