Here's my problem. Can someone explain why Martin would attack Z if Z was doing nothing wrong?

55. DISRESPECT

Or perceived such. In some cultures that is even worse than something physically threatening. In some islamic societies, merely mocking their prophet Is cause enough to kill you. And the rest of their society will look upon the killing with approval.

In Prison, same thing. talk or act out smack, and you are dead.

Following could be seen as disrespect if seems that the other person is following you because he THINKS you might be doing somethng wrong. You are being "disrespected" because somebody doesnt trust you enough NOT to watch you. The Eye.

Think "you looking at me?" from "Taxi Driver" Low self esteem.

Doesn't mean it's right or legal, just understandable.



Yes. Zimmerman was disrespecting Trayvon in his eyes.

Disrespect is almost always legal. But definitely not bright. You never know how the other party is going to react.
