That wasn't me. I don't think what happened in this case is funny, I think it's disturbing. I also find it horrid that his parents turned his death into a cashcow. This whole thing has been a cluster of wtfery.

What part of what I said was actually wrong though?

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.

For the same reason why Martin didn't deserve a death sentence for confronting someone who was following him. But he's still dead.

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.

Prosecution knew what it was doing, they are building a deliberately unwinnable case. They want to lose this one, because if they win then they sink the stand your ground law and no one in Florida legislature wants that to go. Can't remove the right to shoot blacks with spurious justification down there. The prosecution is reprehensible.

Have you even been watching this? The prosecution has been really strident. They just don't have much useful evidence to work with.

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.

Then maybe he shouldn't have tried to kill a guy for following and stopping him.

His actions were massively disproportionate to the situation, and forced the other party to make the ultimate act.

Firstly Trayvon didn't try to kill anybody. Zimmerman had a bloody nose at worst.

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.

Fighting someone is not trying to kill them are you kidding me.

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.

No matter how hard you spin it, it won't change the fact that jumping someone for asking you a question is a huge overreaction. He WANTED to fight. The txts prove this. He felt like he was disrespected by being challenged, so he jumped Zimmerman.
