ORIGINAL: Edwynn No, but you did say previously that "it cuts both ways," as implication being that the person trying to evade what he reasonably perceives as criminal aggression has 50% responsibility for whatever the outcome. I think both had options, both made choices based on misperceptions of the other's intent, and a tragic result ensued. K. No argument on the last point, but it is inarguable that Zimmerman had the greater margin of options that would have avoided the tragedy, and Martin's 'poor choices,' if we even consider one's various options when under duress of aggressive action by another even deserving 'judgement' to begin with, were in any event a response to another person's poor choice in instigating the whole affair. This is not a "50/50" proposition here. Plain and simple: no instigation, no pursuit - no tragedy.
