The "justifiable lethal force because of reasonable fear of serious bodily injury" which is what this case hinged on has been a part of the law since the 1800's.
*sigh*
You really are ing stupid Boutons
That is stand your ground. It has nothing to do with justifiable force in self defense.

Unlike you and the lawyers above, I am not a lawyer, but the FL SYG completely changed judges' instructions.
and, VERY OBVIOUSLY, even after running away and being pursued Z, TM perceived Z to be a stalking, persistent threat and "stood his ground" in self defense.
Group shot of the Zimmerman jury
In that case Trayvon can use SYG as a defense when he is charged with assaulting Zimmerman.
That nigra boy needs mo butter!Group shot of the Zimmerman jury
lol will be saving this pic to my phone and fowarding it.Group shot of the Zimmerman jury
Nice to see not all African American's took the race baiting the media was feeding everyone. Juan Williams got his pushed in.
Juan was just role playing.

stop it, the media didn't do but play on the white race fear of blacks. i don't know why ya'll so scary, just 50 years ago ya'll were chasing us with ropes and burning crosses. man up.
lmao@ that paula dean photoshop.
The media didn't do ? You're ing kidding right?
I know you've been following the case and I know you know that Zimmerman's 911 call was edited to make him look racist. If you don't believe it the lawsuit he will win against them for the editing will shut you up. This had nothing to do with race, quit pretending it did, it makes educated blacks like yourself look bad, doggie.
If that is that case why isn't it the whites rioting?
Trayvon Martin And Why The Right-Wing Media (and SpursTalk righties) Spent 16 Months Smearing A Dead Teenager
Appearing on Fox & Friends in the wake of a Florida jury found George Zimmerman not guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin, Geraldo Rivera's claim that Martin brought about his own death by dressing in a hooded sweatshirt the night of the killing was shocking, but not surprising. Echoing earlier comments he made on the program, Rivera proclaimed: "You dress like a thug, people are going to treat you like a thug."
It was shocking because the idea of a well-paid commentator going on television and blaming an unarmed teen for being shot while walking home inside a gated community because he wore a hoodie -- because he tried to look like "a thug" as Rivera put it -- is repellent.
So yes, Rivera's comments were shockingly awful and irresponsible. As was his claim that the all-female jury "would have shot and killed Trayvon Martin a lot sooner than George Zimmerman did." But his comments weren't surprising, because Fox News and too much of the right-wing media have spent the last 16 months zeroing in on the memory of a dead teenager and doing their best to denigrate it.
Apart from the far right's gleeful and disrespectful response to the not guilty verdict, there remains a separate thread of loud tastelessness that dates back to 2012 and focuses on the victim for all the wrong reasons, suggesting he somehow got what he deserved. (Or what he "sought.")
Remember the fake, menacing photo of Martin that right-wing sites passed around last year? And when The Daily Caller published tweets from the slain boy's closed Twitter account? Tweets that conservatives then used to portray the teen as a thug?
This week, Fox favorite Ten Nugent practically danced on Martin's grave, accusing the dead teenager of being a "dope smoking, racist gangsta wannabe" who was "responsible" for being shot by a volunteer neighborhood watchman on the night of February 26, 2012.
Comments by Rivera, Nugent and others were proof that a smear campaign was in full swing this week and a reminder the attacks are a continuation of the foul smears first unleashed in the wake of the killing. At the time, the attacks were an ugly attempt to justify Martin's death, to shift the blame away from the gunman, Zimmerman, and to cloud the debate about Florida's controversial Stand Your Ground law. (Rivera in 2012: "I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin's death as George Zimmerman was.")
...
Then Glenn Beck's The Blaze published a laundry list of criminal offenses Martin may have committed while he was alive:

• Aggravated assault
• Aggravated battery against a non-staff member
• Armed robbery

• Possession, use, sale, or distribution of firearms, explosives, destructive devices, and other weapons.
keep going, the media didn't do but run a smear campaign on a kid with no criminal record and ya'll ate that up. trayvon was called a thug, ghetto, loser, etc by people in this thread based off of what the media fed em. the jury of white women who probably have never had any contact with a 17 year old black male, fell for it, just like ya'll did. its the reason there was little to no empathy for trayvon and his family in these threads outside of the butthurt blacks and a few other posters.
first of all, their were no riots after the trial and ummm because they're white...why riot? only time ya'll riot is when ya'lls money is compromised, see the occupy wallstreet riots.
Now you are just trolling. For the first year it was s bag Zimmerman/ poor innocent Trayvon all the time. Once the facts started trickling out that little Trayvon wasn't such a ing angel the media slowplayed/ignored it like a mutha er.
no you're trolling, he was a angel. it wasn't until the media decided to run a smear campaign on a kid did these adults ate it up. ya'll were like "omg!!! he's throwing up the middle finger and he has gold teeth, he's a thug!!!!" "omg he got into a fight!!!" none of that qualifies a kid as ghetto, thug, loser or whatever adjetive you used when describing a dead child.
same white kids do, black kids can't do because they'll get profiled and labeled as thugs. just keepin' it real.
He got killed because he jumped and beat up Zimmerman. Call it what you want but Angel Trayvon would still be alive if he hadn't done that.
The media smeared them both, tried to make Zimmerman a racist and Treyvon a thug. Fair enough?
In Trayvon's defense I'm beginning to think he was re ed if Jeantel was his main squeeze.
i dont see how they tried to make him a racist. he racially profiled a kid and Gerardo and others tried to justify it by saying trayvon was "dressed like a thug" cut n dry sublte racism to me.
i disagree but at this point its irrelevant.
what's his supposed non-angelic character have to do with being stalked and murdered by a vigilante? the vigilante's "record" was MUCH worse and directly related to his armed aggression against the non-angel.
Florida law and the jury verdict says you are full of bull as usual.
