At the very least, he was violating the law by trespassing on private property.He was NOT in a place he had a legal right to be, anymore than you would have a right to be in my fenced and gated front yard unless I invited you in.<br /><br />You have no evidence that Martin was 'reasonably threatened with a gun.' I have no idea what orifice you plucked that from. If Zimmerman's version is correct ( and his injuries seem to bear it out) not only did Martin attack him, but his gun was still holstered, until Martin attempted to take it from him.<br /><br />You trying to convince me that Zimmerman simply shot Martin down and then banged his own head on the cement? Or that an unarmed Martin saw Zimmerman pointing a gun at him and decided to try his luck at jumping him?<br /><br />What likely happened is pretty much what George Zimmerman said happened. He and Martin had a verbal confrontation, Martin knocked him to the ground, and the gun came into play while Martin on top of Zimmerman, was beating him severely and then reached for the holstered gun.<br /><br />As for your comment on the other thread, you're right, I deep sixed it. It was a turgid repeat of the same points you made earlier, added nothing to the mix and I chose not to waste my reader's or my time with it. <br /><br />Such is life.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332213651195340500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-56512494077665948562012-08-11T07:58:55.241-07:002012-08-11T07:58:55.241-07:00•Martin was in a place where he was lawfully entit...•Martin was in a place where he was lawfully entitled to be.<br /><br />•Martin was not violating the law.<br /><br />•Martin was reasonably threatened trying to return home by someone with a gun. <br /><br />•Martin had a reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm.<br /><br />You're right! Trayvon Martin had a right to stand his ground, and legally pass on his way home, when he was accosted. <br /><br /><br />(By the way, we posted another comment on the CNN Poll thread, but it never appeared.)Zachrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11268229653808829377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-1781991114880207632012-08-10T15:49:45.554-07:002012-08-10T15:49:45.554-07:00I love it when people with your mentality reveal t...I love it when people with your mentality reveal their stupidity in public.<br /><br />It's the equivalent of some blowhard in mid-tirade crapping their pants.<br /><br />Of course, that's why you line being 'Anonymous'.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332213651195340500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-20467852759658445912012-08-10T11:21:15.764-07:002012-08-10T11:21:15.764-07:00An Orlando Sentinel review of Central Florida &quo...<i>An Orlando Sentinel review of Central Florida "stand your ground" cases found that suspects were far more likely to be exonerated if they were the lone surviving witness.</i><br /><br />Awesome.
