""Personally, I would have not liked a mug like that following me, either. I think BOTH of them had reason to 'suspect' each other...That being said, NEITHER of them had the right, or reasonable cause, to initiate anything!""""

One of them said, I reached for my phone(dubious, when facing a possible aggressor). The other without doubt saw that move toward a pocket by a non uniformed man who might easily have been a mugger, and couldn't possibly predict what would come out of that pocket, but might very reasonably have surmised that it would be a gun.

So he would seem to be covered by the "Stand your Ground" law, if he pre-empted an expected attack.

The only possible reason why he was not accorded that right under Florida Law is the colour of his skin.

That is not an emotional response, it is a fact.

HOWEVER: We now know that blacks in Florida do not warrant the protection of the state's own laws, and should stay indoors after dark, because it's open season if they don't.

The Judge and the Defence have confirmed vigilante law for blacks, with the collusion of the most inept prosecution team in recent history, and the murderer of an innocent teenager walks free, exactly as expected.

I sincerely hope that nobody will carry out a death threat on Zimmerman, because I believe he should live out his life as the pariah he deserves to be, with the constant fear that somebody might!
