walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

This whole I don't understand how Z feared for his life, thing has me scratching my head.

So for those that say this can you honestly say that if a 6ft tall person and yourself get into a tussle, in the dark, he punches you in the face, you fall to the ground and he jumps on top of you and he starts bashing your head into the ground and punches you in the face, you would not fear great bodily harm or even death?

Come on no be honest with yourself.

I almost used you as an example in a post this morning, F.U. To demonstrate the subjectivity of "reasonable" in regards to self-defense.

If you'd found yourself in a fight with Trayvon Martin (regardless of who started it), I believe with almost certainty that you'd have handled the teen without having to shoot him dead. If you had shot him dead with your abilities and experience, you'd have a tougher time with a self defense claim than George Zimmerman.

Do you disagree? No wrong or right answer in my mind, just curious.

Either way, I think it's reasonable to doubt George's version of events and want to hear the evidence from both sides in order to form an opinion (or remain unsure).

I'm not taking George's claims or the state's claim as gospel; weighing it all.
