(Anonymous) 2013-07-13 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)From all the evidence given so far, people are suggesting that asking why someone is in a semi-private area, and following them, who might have had racist motivations, deserves a death sentence.
Because that is what you're suggesting when you claim that having concealed carry and challenging someone means you're guilty of manslaughter. Trayvons actions weren't close to proportionate to the situation.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-13 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)That said, this is why I hate the death penalty, because it gives juries an unreasonable choice between letting a criminal off lightly or ending their lives. The prosecution was fucking stupid to even allow that to be put on the table.

If you want to build some kind of "the prosecution is racist for not putting this guy in prison forever for the murder of this innocent hoody-wearing child" you're being unreasonable. Sometimes the people you root for don't win despite their best efforts.

Re: Trayvon Martin Case:WTF
Secondly, if you were walking out alone on a rainy night, and you realized that someone's following you, what would you do? Do you just merrily go up to the guy and ask if you can help him, or do you make the very natural assumption that the guy is following you for a sinister reason?
Honestly, Trayvon had every reason to assume that ZIMMERMAN was up to no good. The only difference is, instead of running to safety and/or calling the cops, Trayvon tried to attack him. Poor choice, but if you think someone's going to mug/attack you, not disproportionate.
Re: Trayvon Martin Case:WTF
If a strange older man who had been following me got out of his car and walked towards me I'd pepper spray or stun gun the shit out of him. Except Trayvon didn't have either of those things on him, so he punched him. Doesn't sound disproportionate to me.
Disproportionate is using a gun on an unarmed boy who only attacked because he was provoked.
