The future George Zimmerman Acquittal Trial Megathread!

[Razgovory]

Off playing cowboys and Indians with real guns it seems.

Defending himself while he's getting his head pummeled into the pavement? 

Stalking and accosting someone else cause they trespassed on the ranch.

Stand your ground goes both ways.

So you wouldn't convict Martin or Zimmerman, then?

[Admiral Yi]

But the evidence clearly demonstrated that Zimmerman provoked a confrontation in a manner that could reasonably viewed by Martin as threatening.

Are you basing this conclusion on the facts you've already mentioned, i.e. Zimmerman following Martin, Zimmerman agitated, and Zimmerman carrying a gun, or was there some important evidence that I missed?

I ask because that to me does not clearly demonstrate that Martin reasonably felt threatened.

I can hardly be expected to answer your question if you don't even know what the question is.

I'll take your refusal to answer and dodge a simple question, as conceding you were talking out your ass.

Yi's not reasonably threatened by somebody following him for some time in the dark to the point that contact is made.  Happens all the time to him.

So your saying Zimmerman had a right to stand his ground when attacked by Trayvon.

How long is "some time", and does hypothetical Yi have 17-year old surplus testosterone running through his veins?

You make a Skittles run.  While walking home, a car starts to follow you.  At some point the driver gets out of the car.

Do you throw him on the ground and start bashing his face?  Is that a reasonable response?

[derspiess]

If he's a fat dude, I'm thinking I could probably outrun him.

According to Seedy and crew....yea.

Like I said before, "Stand Your Ground" doesn't mean "Go Over There And Start Shit Over On That Ground".

Cool. Just wanted to clear that up that you think Trayvon had the right to attack GZ.

[Eddie Teach]

Whether you think Martin or Zimmerman was at fault, it hasn't been proven that Zimmerman was. Thus, you have to let him walk. Them's the rules.

No, I do not think anybody has the "right" to attack anybody else, dumbass.

But since you and Yi are still sticking to the premise that Martin attacked Zimmerman first--even though he ran from him, and Zimmerman's attempts to follow him, lose him and reacquire him, lasted well over 5 minutes--we're not going to get anywhere with this conversation.

That's a cute line & all, but Stand Your Ground wasn't invoked in this trial. Try again.
