Zimmerman apologists always run into same problem. Person minding their own business ended up dead. [View all]

Trayvon was walking though a neighborhood, minding his own business and not breaking any laws.

That part is not in dispute.

Someone suggested that everyone has the right to approach other people on the street and ask them what they are doing. Let's say I accept that for the moment. Anyone so approached by someone then also has the right to say, "If you are not a police officer, get lost" or various variations thereof.

It is then incumbent on the approacher to back off or produce official credentials.

I can accept that anyone has the right to approach anyone on the street and greet them or ask them certain questions, but they do not have the right to any particular response or any response at all. AND, my opinion is that responsibility for any violence that occurs after that moment will generally fall onto the approacher unless there is strong evidence to the contrary.

Those attempting to apologize for Zimmerman have several problems that in my opinion they cannot solve.
