He instigated the force used against him so the "Stand Your Ground" laws do not apply to him. If he had been an innocent bystander that was attacked, and shot the other person in self defense, that would be a different story. However, since he followed Martin and confronted him, especially after being told not to, he is guilty of the actions he ended up taking and will have to answer for them.
As I said, I don't know about Martin's innocence or guilt, but a life was lost due to Zimmerman's actions. There is no excuse for that. This vigilante stuff needs to stop.

Wow, one case... Bravo........ It does not help statistics much because by the end of today about 2000 white people will be arrested for some lewd act on a child. And if you had any hint of an idea y i said that in the first place it might make sense to you. Either way i dont care, people contradict themselves way to much on here. Im just stirring their lil pots....
In 2005, offending rates for blacks were more than 7 times higher than the rates for whites

lol exactly....
'Hmmmm now that you mention it, I was molested by old uncle George.'
Funny she just now brings it up. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're being raped, tell someone right after it happens.....the first time. Don't wait 10 years.

Zimmerman was 8 years old and she was 6 years old..and yes it supposidly continued for ten years.
The press AGAIN has mislead by giving the impression he did this as an adult.
Don't rush to the story until you check further into it......they were young kids..

He was a kid, 8 years old when it supposedly started. Then kept on going for ten whole years......
Then again most people seem to think a HS senior being with a highschool sophmore is pedophilia....
I am not gonna take her word as gospel myself, seeing as she damaged her own credibility with the acusations made just a few moths ago. Sounds like she is holding some kind of grudge against her cuz to me. That's just me I guess though. Feel free to believe her if you like.edit on Tue, 17 Jul 2012 13:18:58 -0500 by TKDRL because: paragraph break didn't take

The fact it "alledgedly" lasted ten years (conveniently until he was an adult) and then it was ten more years and during an investigation to me reeks of b.s. I would say it was a case of kids being kids and exploring, her having vague bothersome memories and then the prosecutors getting her to stretch it and make something of it.
Consider this she said it was never actual sex and "he would try stuff under the covers" so it never progressed over the years? Imagine something happens at 6 and then only once more again at 16 that gives them ten year time span. They can say it went on for ten years even though it was only two small instances. I just can't see something going on for 10 years, and never progressing past "trying stuff under the covers."
I believe something happened when they were little kids, because that stuff happens with kids, but that is all I believe.

The police never told him not to do anything. That is just b.s. people on this sight spread.
In the tape Zimmerman started to follow (you could tell he was picking up his pace) and the 9/11 correspondent ask him if he was following the person. Zimmerman said "yes" and the 9/11 dispatcher (who is NOT a police officer - I know because I took a test for the job once) said "we don't need you to do that sir" which, even if the dispatcher WAS a cop, is a far cry from "no we don't want you to do that." It could be taken many ways.
I take it as we appreciate what you are doing, but we don't need you to put yourself at anymore risk. Either way he was never told not to follow by a cop. How could he even talk to a cop before they arrive? Does anyone ever speak to a cop when they call for the police?edit on 17-7-2012 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)

Everyone talks about what Zimmerman could have done differently. But what about Treyvon? He could have respectfully explained who he was and what he was doing and still be alive today. We all reap what we sow.
