Please link to the relevant Florida statute.
Quote:I don't disagree that it would rise to the level of stalking, yet I do suspect that George was stalking and caused Trayvon to fear for his safety.
You have not given any evidence to that effect
Quote: The smart thing for Trayvon was to have called the police,
Or at least go straight home which we know for certain that he didn't do. We don;t know for sure that he doubled back and attacked Zimmerman but it is the most probable theory.
Quote:but instead he may or may not have confronted Zimmerman. We don't know. What we do know is that George created the circumstances that caused the death of Trayvon.
What is this use of first names about? Are they your personal friends? IF Martin attacked Zimmerman then Martin is entirely to blame. It was entirely legal for Zimmerman to follow Martin. If Martin decided to double back and attack Zimmerman then HE created the circumstances that lead to his death
Quote:We know the "stand your ground" from not only this case but others, has been used not to protect themselves, but to legally murder another person for "whatever" reason they feel like.
And yes I know that "murder" legally is defined as the unlawful taking of another life, but it amounts to the same. Legal murder.[/quote]
No. Just use legal killing or you just become another twat who twists terms ,but then you did that with 'stalking'.
Quote:Case 1, Guy jumps a fence following someone and kills that man.
Case 2, guy doesn't like the music that someone is playing in his car, Fear of his life is his excuse for murdering that young man.
And these aren't isolated cases. This is just many of the common cases that are either being dropped or being prosecuted in court today.
It is also been shown that if you are black, you are less likely to win a case based on "stand your ground" then if you are white. A strong indication that this is being used and excused on racist views or stereotypes of Young black men.
Your cases have no links . Are you claiming that young black men are no more likley to commit crime than any other combination of race sex and sex?
Quote:When is Florida going to learn that their law creates circumstances where people can with impunity kill another and then claim, " I feared for my life".
When are people going to learn that you can;t just double back and attack someone because they appear to be following you?
Some may call them junk, I call them treasures.
