Showing Original Post only (View all)It's this simple - George Zimmerman was stalking Trayvon Martin [View all]
Stand Your Ground laws are suppose to protect those being stalked.
Trayvon Martin had every right to be in the neighborhood - he was staying with his father at his girlfriend's house.
Zimmerman is the one that noticed Martin walking in the neighborhood. He's the one that called 911 to tell them about Martin walking in the neighborhood. And he was the one that ignored what 911 told him to do which was to leave Martin alone and let the cops deal with it.
Zimmerman at any time could have gotten into his vehicle and driven away. He would have been safe, he would have been free and Martin would still be alive.
Zimmerman choose to keep following Martin. To me that defines what a stalker is!
And to me the ONLY person that could claim 'Stand your Ground' is Martin - he was being stalked and had every right to defend himself.
If Zimmerman had taken the advice of the 911 operator none of this mess would have happened.
