I understand. I think death is always tragic,,,,when its violent like that,,,,

the questions are asked repeatedly

there is just not much done to address the answers,,,,,

I dont know, there was a gun involved. HAd he got the gun away and PRECEDED to kill Zimmerman,, that would have probably been excessive force. Had he killed ZIMMERMAN (With his hands) while Zimmerman was in possession/reaching for a gun,,,probably not so much


IF the lethal right to defend against killing is considered, than it is necessarily true it is a right that on its face BOTH PARTIES HAD

so what did seperate them, wasnt whether they had a right on its face, but if they had the right with aggravating factors such as who ENGAGED in the fight

and it could be interpreted even, that if its a MUTUAL Fight, whomever ends up killing the other will be at fault,,,


the aggravating factors weigh in,,,,

my point is we can find dozens of legal interpretations of the 'self defense' defense, its limitations,,,etc,,,,

Laws are broad to accommodate an infinity of situations. Make them too specific they miss unintended situations.



as opposed to one UNIFORM and clear one,,,so it really will be up to lawyers to present a case,,,

Innocent until proven guilty is the point. The evidence no matter what the law says is always the determining factor.



and whether self defense because of danger will be good enough
or whether self defense because of danger brought on by a defendant will be a limitation that voids the defense,,,


There are MANY ways in which he can be held legally responsible for Martins death (Because of the law, NOT despite it), the very flexibility of the law is what allows the prosecutors to have charged him in the first place.



Your comments are inane.


Im in good company

I think if laws were really that 'clear' we wouldnt need juries,,,



it will be up to the twelve in the box and the case that is presented,,,

from a self defense sight

""When there is mutual combat upon a sudden quarrel,
both parties are the aggressors, and if in the fight one is killed
it will be manslaughter at least."
– 16th Century English Self Defense Law -


Ninety percent of all "fights" are started over something stupid. If the court feels your actions were unwarranted or avoidable, your defense of self-defense will fail. Especially, if those actions result in deadly force.

we will see,,,,

as Lady said,, will the law in this case decide that people can pick fights and if they are losing bad enough than KILL their victim?

creates a whole new paradise for bullies,,,

sounds flaky to me,,, but people might justify it,,,,,

unethical, irresponsible...

words Id use to describe Zimmermans actions that night,,,,,,,

tragedy

I suspect shootings will be the popular headline for a few weeks. Sounds like a justified case though, if the facts are true.

thanx, I think so too,,,and as beautiful outside as in,,,not flaky or vain at all,,,,just love her

for alle

this is a short list Im sure, but Id research some of the areas listed to get some answers about the most common stereotypes about 'black neighborhoods'


I think you will find them pretty diverse once you look for yourself,,,,

in some places

in others its neighbors

in others its the nation of islam

in others its retired military,,,

and my niece,, watch out for her in theater,, she is gonna be HUGE...

an amazing talent

to stop someone 'suspicious' because they were walking at night while looking at houses

by someone who was watching someone walking at night from his car and following someone walking at night on foot,,,,

a night watchmen supposedly who had to get out to figure out the STREET he was on,,,,

compared to someone newly arriving who had to figure out which way he needed to go,,,

pot calling the kettle,, 'suspicious'

what! the square jaw, the clean but not baby smooth shave, the broad shoulders,,


that is MY TYPE,,, (as long as they have some swag....)

its not that it 'couldnt' be true,,its that the guys LIVING has evolved around deceiving people his whole life so its 'most likely' another lie,,,

I Think white folks tend to trust authorities and their 'evidence' more and black folks probably tend to believe authorities are capable of fabricating, setting up, and outright lying

I also think people tend to prioritize 'crimes' based upon their personal experiences and not any true measure of 'harm'

there have been plenty of CORRUPT white politicians, whether their 'crime' was a crack pipe or not

disgusting pyscho,,,,

thank you, simplified

and logical,,,,
