TM caused his own death. So 75% his fault... Zim was good for about 5%. Parents can take up the rest.
And the tards are out in force.... http://gizmodo.com/traffic-on-a-petition-to-prosecute-zimmerman-crashed-th-780885777
Maybe you should try reading the evidence presented, or if that's too tough, you could rewind the trail and watch it.
You can only defend yourself if you are not the aggressor... Seems those that heard the case made a decision that he wasn't so innocent.
Why are there people like yourself that just cannot accept the fact that he was judged not guilty? We already have many of believers like yourself that are raising hell in the streets and destroying other innocent people's property just because they don't want to believe it. To hell with any evidence, he's guilty because you want him to be guilty. Martin couldn't possibly be a thug. He's to cute for that isn't he?
So TM had no right to defend himself? I dont know why i try. And you guys are making jokes about the death of this young man. Pretty fucked up. But I would expect anything less from the beeb.
I think in some states, you can defend yourself even if you are the original aggressor. I think that the requirement is that you must announce your intention to retreat from the confrontation and then you must do so. Then if the other party continues, you have the right to defend. However, if you are the original aggressor, I won't give you much chance in a court. There was no good evidence presented that showed TM being anything other than the aggressor. There was no evidence, even to his body, that he had been attacked, unlike GZ.
Where are you getting your 'facts' from? Nancy Grace??? The jury decided, based on the evidence, that TM was the 'offender' so I'm not sure why you think that he should have had any special 'rights' as a defender.
Your rights become null and void the moment you start depriving somebody of theirs. In this case, when TM started assaulting GZ. It's NOT against the law to be suspicious of somebody. It's NOT against the law to follow somebody. It's NOT against the law to ask somebody a question. It IS against the law to punch somebody in the face and slam their head into the concrete. It's NOT against the law to use deadly force to defend yourself against somebody who is bashing your head into the concrete (and has threatened to kill you).
