walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[HairOfTheDog]

Too bad T didn't get a chance to claim stand your ground.

I think he did and died because of this.

Yes, and I agree with your posts about the subjectivity of the SYG laws, though I may disagree with your position as to whether or not George Zimmerman should be on trial.

Correct me if I'm wrong in understanding our agreement on these points:

It's quite possible under the law that Trayvon Martin was standing his ground when he, either proactively or in reaction, engaged in a physical altercation with the man who had admittedly been following him; a creepy ass cracker grown man who had chosen not to disclose his NW role nor the fact that police were en route.

It's also quite possible that George Zimmerman, whether he initiated first physical contact or responded to it, was legally acting in self defense when he shot Trayvon Martin - the teen who had gotten the better of his soft pussy ass and against whom he hadn't the competence to remove himself from a life threatening (in his mind) situation.
