In reply to the discussion: Ex-Sanford police chief: Zimmerman probe 'taken away from us' [View all]John2
(2,730 posts)other posters and you have been making this assertion a lot on here. I took the time out to look at your claims. People have been found not guilty because the other party provoke the fight and charges were dropped.
The assertion that you can follow and stalk a person for no reason is against the law. You cannot get in a person's face and intimidate them. So from what I have out, what you are saying is not true.
If a person believes that they are in imminent danger of an harmful act, they have a right to act against the provocation. To continue to defend Zimmerman's actions, as not placing Trayvon in imminent danger is false. Zimmerman was an armed person following Trayvon a night. Trayvon was justified in being apprehensive of Zimmerman and the evidence that he was. came from Jenteal's testimony. And it was verified, she was the last living person to talk to him. So go ahead and explain that away if you can? I'm open to anything to throw out.
Giving Trayvon Martin's circumstances and now we know Zimmerman had followed Martin with a loaded gun, Martin had just as much right to defend himself as you would give this murderer. The only difference is, Martin didn't have a loaded gun, which gave him no chance at all. Zimmerman had the advantage from the start even when he lied about calling for help.
