Martin was the one in fear of his life and Martin was the one who was murdered by Zimmerman. I most likely will never come in contact with him, but many other people will. I see no reason why a good bulk of them would not be very fearful of him.

Because he stalked and murdered a kid who was doing nothing but minding his own business? EOTE Jul 2013 #14

No.. why do you think he would do it again after all the hubbub... Pelican Jul 2013 #18

Because he's already gotten away with it? EOTE Jul 2013 #20

If anything he'll have an incident... Pelican Jul 2013 #25

And that incident could very well happen because no one should feel safe around that thug. EOTE Jul 2013 #26
