You've been taking pointers from Politesub, haven't you? Tell the truth, now.

quote: ORIGINAL: BamaD Keep in mind that Zimmerman doesn't have to prove that is was self defense the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it wasn't. This may have been covered already, but as I understand the Florida law on this, the prosecution has to prove that Zimmerman did not feel that his life was threatened AND that he did not have a reasonable fear of serious bodily injury at the time of the shooting. Everything else is fluff. It doesn't matterthat Zimmerman did many things the prosecutiuon has buil;t the case on because he did not break the law by following the punk or even having his weapon. Since the defence is self defence under stand your ground, the only aspect of the law that really matters is whether the prosecution can prove Zimmerman did not fear for his life or bodily harm as he was having his head pounded in the pavement. As I understand it, there really doesn't even need to be an injury, just the fear of serious injury would justify Zimmerman killing the Martin under Florida's stand your ground law. Personally, I don't think the prosecution was poorly executed... I truely hope Zimmerman walks. -SD-

Trayvon made a fatal mistake, by deciding to confront Zimmerman. Trayvon should have walked away and let it go, BUT he had no idea what the hell was going on. Trayvon might have thought Zimmerman was a predator, after him for whatever reason or meant him harm. Hell, if someone is clearly following me on foot/or in a car, I am not going home, I would not want them to know where I live. If Trayvon had asked him "Why are you following me?" ---what happens next? Even if Trayvon had asked him in a quiet manner, it easily could have escalated and quickly become physical. Following and chasing someone especially at night is extremely dangerous and is a very aggressive and confrontational stance. Who knows what ANYONE will do when we are in that situation? Have you ever been followed/chased in an aggressive manner? I was followed once in a car going home alone/late at night {maybe 1:00 am}, and I was followed by another car full of young thugswho kept asking/trying to get me to pull over. They were yelling at me things like "bitch pull over", they even tried to cut me off. They followed me for several blocks, I felt like I was in a horror movie, and I was shaking from head to toe. I would go down one random street and then the other, and they aggressively kept following me, saying to pull over so they could "talk to me". It was late at night I was on my way home, and it scared the shit out of me. I certainly did not go home, I managed to drive to a main road near a well lit shopping center, and they continued to follow me and finally drove off. I swear they yelled something like "bitch you were lucky or you are not worth it" as they left. If I had pulled over, and confronted the trash in that car, or If I had not been able to make it to a well lit main road/shopping center, I have no reason NOT to believe that that would have been the end of me. If I had a gun in my car, I would have used it before I let them pull me out of my car. I lived 10 minutes from DC and I am fairly certain someone in that car full of thugs had a gun on them. When you are scared out of your mind, you don't know what the hell you will do. I was scared shitless and I saw my life flashing before me. Every bone in my body was shaking, I remember vividly and this was over 20 years ago, What if Trayvon had also had a gun on him or at least a knife? Zimmerman created this entire situation. Let someone follow and chase you, when you are alone on a dark night. You don't know WHAT the fuck you will do or what you are capable of doing when you are scared. I rarely share personal stuff, but talking about being followed and chased, and being scared out of my mind, hit home. Often, when you are frightened or scared, the LAST thing you are is "rational". Peace

As pointed out repeatedly, there was nothing about this case that involved the SYG law. This was cut and dried self defense under the same standard set for the entire nation by the USSC decades ago. The reasonably perceived danger can be of death, or grievous bodily harm. GBH has a standard definition. Note that the fear does not have to be based on reality... pointing an unloaded, broken, or realistic fake gun at someone still clears them to defend themselves. The use of force has to be proportionate to the threat... unless some unusual factors are a work, no guns at fistfights. The danger has to be imminent... this runs into conflict in some 'burning bed' type abuse situations. 'I was afraid they would kill me the next day' is often poorly received. It can be a very real fear, and might even save someone's life, but it exceeds the threshold for self defense in some places. Zimmerman's composite claim falls within each of the recognized boundaries. So the job of the prosecution is to prove beyond any reasonable doubt, that a rational person who was on the ground, with a few injuries, who felt the 'puncher' grabbing at their jacket over the holster... wouldn't pucker up. And as said before, nobody but Zimmerman was apparently in a position to know for sure if that's what really happened. quote: ORIGINAL: SadistDave quote: ORIGINAL: BamaD Keep in mind that Zimmerman doesn't have to prove that is was self defense the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it wasn't.

Let me see if get it... because we sure wouldn't want to misunderstand you, now would we? Based on pure repetition: The brown skinned pussy can be safely lied about, because the dirty pussy must have attacked first despite all evidence to the contrary. So being a pussy, he doesn't deserve a fair trial... because he's a pussy. Everyone with a gun is a pussy, no exception. Cops are pussies. Bank guards are pussies. Our military are all pussies. Rape/mugging/stalking/abuse victims who arm themselves are all pussies... whether they have pussies or not. From behind the safety of your keyboard, everyone but you is a pussy. That about cover it, or did I miss some of your pussies? quote: ORIGINAL: Edwynn quote: ORIGINAL: Powergamz1 quote: ORIGINAL: Edwynn Pardon me for being 'old school' here, but back in the day an attacker did not have the 'right' of self defense. quote: ORIGINAL: Edwynn And I didn't even speak of any laws, but you, my good friend, have nevertheless pointed out that I lied about something I never even mentioned.

From behind the safety of your keyboard, everyone but you is a pussy. Was Zimmerman a cop? a bank guard? a soldier? a potential rape victim? Do any of the above go about stalking people? If the cops or soldiers have any legitimate business, they get to it right away, from my experience. I have never been stalked by any legitimate 'person in authority.' Harassed? On one or two occasions. Stalked by any other than a thug? Never.

I can imagine anyone feeling scared at being followed.... I dont think this was racially motivated in that I dont think Z went looking for a young black male to target. Know what I mean? However, as a woman, I would be terrified knowing someone was following me. Self defense training and I can down a man by breaking his nose.... I might even be tempted to attack him as he laid there, I would be the one screaming for help Why is all that so implausible?
