Re: Zimmerman and Trayton

It didn't apply to him because he wasn't a resident of the closed community. The law has provisions specifically dealing with those kinds of neighborhoods because they're so common in Florida. He wasn't breaking any laws, but he wasn't protected under the Stand Your Ground law, either. If this had happened outside of a closed community, then the law would have applied to him, too.

Ah, I see. Then I concede that Zimmerman may have been acting within the law, but that it is a shitty, short-sighted law that allows someone to stalk and shoot someone for visiting a place they do not themselves reside at simply because they look "out of place."

The one on trial is Zimmerman, not Trayvon. Frankly, he didn't know Zimmerman was armed. He slammed the guys head against the pavement over and over. That is excessive force for someone just following you. Given that there's pictures out there he took himself of him holding a weapon, I'd say Trayvon wasn't an innocent little eleven year old just out to play some baseball and eat candy, like some media outlets are showing. (Seriously. They keep plastering a picture that is six years old)

So Zimmerman claims. I remember seeing news reports about this last year, and there was security camera footage that showed a surprising lack of being-slammed-into-the-pavement wounds on Zimmerman's head.

What pictures Trayvon took of himself have no bearing on what he was doing on the night he was killed: going to the store to buy a snack before returning to a home he had been invited to stay in by the owner. "Thug" photos aren't relevant to anything except some rather disgusting attempts to claim that Trayvon deserved to die for Walking While Black.

I saw that footage taken of him a couple days later, too. But all the footage from that night and the photographs and even prosecution witnesses all give evidence that Zimmerman is telling the truth about being slammed into the sidewalk repeatedly.

AYRT

Yeah, that was my point. Sorry I wasn't clearer. The law is terrible and needs to be thrown out. But because of its existence and the circumstances, it's very probable that Zimmerman will be found not guilty. The DA should have tried for manslaughter.
