Atheists, George Zimmerman and the burden of proof
#64
RE: Atheists, George Zimmerman and the burden of proof
Actually criminal stalking does include openly following someone. Especially if the intent is to cause fear.

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. The smart thing for Trayvon was to have called the police, 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.

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.

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.


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".
