You've been arguing the law would allow him to shoot and kill Zimmerman because he felt threatened.
In Florida? You are probably right.
You've been arguing the law would allow him to shoot and kill Zimmerman because he felt threatened.
I said he could argue that in court, not that acquittal would be a lock.
It's a stupid law.
It's only a stupid law when you try and stretch it to fit your scenario.
That it can be applied so easily makes it stupid.
Except that how you want to apply it sends Trayvon to prison for life.
Up to a jury.
As I said, his odds would be better were he a white woman.
Well no it would be up to a jury, but under your scenario and according to the law he's going to prison as a person following you would not be enough of a threat to use deadly force. You posted the law yourself, I figured you'd understand it.
All his lawyer has to do is successfully argue he felt threatened per the terms of the law.
Holy , this argument just went in a circle like 3 times. CD falling back on the Furious Styles race card approach.
It isn't a bad law if the jury has common sense. Being followed and even losing the follower at one point isn't imminent bodily harm or death. Having your head attacked by someone sitting on you is. So forget the law and forget this hypothetical re ed jury you keep using, do YOU see the difference in that?
A dude with a gun following another alone at night?
A jury could easily find someone who shot such a man would have a reasonable fear.
Except for the fact that the gun is concealed which means Trayvon doesn't know he's armed, unless you're changing your story around again to now have George following Trayvon around brandishing his pistol.
A lawyer could just say he thought George had a gun. It turned out he did, so that actually helps his case.
Keep pretending this discussion is about Florida Law, and not your characterizing Trayvon as a defenseless "unarmed black kid."
We're talking very much about Florida law.
Trayvon's biggest problem was he wasn't armed. More guns would have solved everything.
Acting like a civilized human being and not attacking Zimmerman would have solved everything. You're trying too hard.
When you are asked annoying questions by a short, white-hispanic dude, you really have no choice but to go MMA on a mofo.
And what would a 17 year old be armed with legally?
And then a jury decided the short, white-hispanic dude had no choice but to shoot the not-so-short, black dude who was unable to react without violence.
those pesky self defense laws!
Assume Trayvon didn't know Zimmerman had the gun
YOU'RE talking Florida law, we're talking common sense.
With that second line I feel a little insecure cause I'm starting to feel like you're trolling the out of us
Common sense would be not to follow people in a dark pathway.
God bless the generosity of the true American
