What I've observed. You could beat the crap out of someone, call the cops, say they attacked you 1st, usually you're the one they're gonna believe (got a scratch/bruise better still). George Zimmerman (GZ) APPROACHED Trayvon Martin (TM), so isn't TM, the one who had the legit claim to, "Stand Their Ground" How the hell did that apply to GZ? BUT HE(GZ) CALLED 1st.
