Savaged worse by a guinea pig? Sounds about right. Is it me or does it seem like the only force that is considered justifiable in Stand Your Ground states involves a gun? It's not okay to punch someone in self-defense, only shoot them?

First he stalked him from his vehicle, then pursued him on foot and I believe ultimately accosted him. Then when the "suspect" asserted his right to defend himself, he killed him. Once he got close enough to the boy to provoke a confrontation, the kid had a right. A perfect stranger like that? Why do people go on as though this kid had no rights of his own? No right to be in the neighborhood where he was staying. No right to walk home from the store. No right to get defensive when stalked. C'mon, where's the sense of fairness?

In the first 911 call, couldn't you just hear the disappointment in Zimmerman's voice when told not to follow? After that, you could hear his impatience with the dispatcher who was asking for more info. He wanted to get off the phone and get back to it. Remember he wanted the police to call him when they arrived because he wasn't sure where he would be? In the end, his tale of being attacked is just not credible.

George Zimmerman once pursued a pickup truck for nearly 5 minutes (out of his way) when he observed that there were kids in the car with no car seats. Can you imagine? What happened to getting a plate number? I seriously think he thought of the police as HIS backup.

Stand Your Ground is a bad law but maybe it's not really my business to worry about because I live in New York? Maybe it's up to people who live in the states that have it to decide? Or maybe it should be made into a federal case? I really think it could be interpreted as unconstitutional myself.
