Does Stand Your Ground Apply

Marvin - being armed has nothing to do, he was not carrying the weapon illegally.

When GZ discharged his weapon he was being attacked... if Gz just ran after TM and shot him that would be different case, in all your argument you tend to over look GZ was being attacked too.

Harsh, tell me why was GZ attacked? Was it becase he was following TM at night, no ID, no reason at all to follow him, just chasing him? And when he finally caught up to him, what did he do? He asked him what he was doing there. It's a public place, TM was where he needed to be and if GZ had a right to ask, TM had a right to not answer, or even ask him why he was following him.

the act of following someone is confrontational, especially when following someone without reason.

Can you show a law that says following someone is confrontational?

that's why there are stalking laws. of course, this situation was a one time event and zimmerman is now free to follow and confront any other person he decides is up to no good.

You left your scenrio half way.....

TM was not required to answer any question GZ asked he could had turned away and walked away.

Just coz GZ asked TM what he was doing does not give TM any right to attack GZ. Was there any puch wound or bruise on TM?? I don't think so coz GZ never punched him or hit him.

Neither had guns out. So force is still equal.

How do you know that?

So he was going to take care of the rapist on the street in street fight?

Try to pay attention.

If you want to mix mash than there is no discussion... stalking is different than following.

Here is legal defination of stalking

Criminal activity consisting of the repeated following and harassing of another person.

Stalking is a distinctive form of criminal activity composed of a series of actions that taken individually might constitute legal behavior. For example, sending flowers, writing love notes, and waiting for someone outside her place of work are actions that, on their own, are not criminal. When these actions are coupled with an intent to instill fear or injury, however, they may constitute a pattern of behavior that is illegal.

Was TM harassed repeatedly by GZ?

Was Zimmerman chasing the vehicle when it flipped over? Is that why the defense team canceled the press conference?

Yes he was. There was an unarmed, straight A black child in the car doing his homework, listening to classical music, eating sugar free candy and drinking iced tea. George don't stand for that.

If you dont understand stalking then dont bring stalking into discussion anyway you dont care what law says.
