This case, nor Zimmerman's, had anything to do with Stand Your Ground. DesMoinesDem Jan 2015 #2

The article mentions Zimmerman not being related to "Stand Your Ground" law, just self defense. braddy Jan 2015 #8

Yes, 18 paragraphs into it they mention that. Their bizarre headline states DesMoinesDem Jan 2015 #26

Few make that connection madville Jan 2015 #47

not people, men noiretextatique Jan 2015 #75

Excuse me...but as a female, I think both she and zimmerman are guilty. Both shot at children. nt msanthrope Jan 2015 #84

What's up DU? Sure is a whole lot of hating going on for an abuse victim. brush Jan 2015 #85
