Self-defense has always been around but never involved stalking an unarmed guy you didn't know down the street and murdering him even after the police told you to not do exactly what you then decided to do and ignore them and do anyway.
Just think I bet Trevor didn't even know about that Law, but if he had been the one still standing with a gun Zimmerman brought to the fight I don't think he would have had a hard time proving was self-defense even with old traditional laws since the police foresaw Zimmerman's intent to confront and arrest Martin and they told him not to do that..
Most people didn't know these stupid, dangerous laws had been passed till the Martin case exposed them. I certainly would not have understood if some regular guy that wasn't a policemen followed me down the road and attempted to arrest me for no reason.... I would think he was a crazy guy planning to kill or harm me..... if Trevor thought that too and fought back ..He was right...... He just needed a gun and the ability to out shoot Zimmerman that night.
Self-defense has always been around and supported. This is self appointed law enforcement. Even in the Mideast they don't kill you for stealing... they just cut off you hand. They might not like you if you have a dog...but they never kill you for it there.
But if this is how it's going to be in the USA. All I can say is "Ladies get your guns "and head to the shooting range for the next time the fool shows up to bother you.....Lock him out of the house and claim you thought that beer bottle was a gun or knife in the hand of a stranger and make sure you are the only victim left to tell your story because the lady in Florida that shot two warning shots in the air or wall to her husband with a constraint order against him received 20 years for not standing her ground well enough and just killing him! Now he is loose with the child that might need to stand her ground better than Mom did.
This is an insane law pushed by ALEC which is the worst of American Anarchist just lurking around trying to buy the county and power out from under citizens and make us distrust everything and everyone but their sneaky butts..They are global...their money influencing politics agenda is spreading over the world. They could tattoo red, white and blue all over themselves but these are traitors and thieves of our national and global agenda and rights ....So citizens of the world head to the practice range while their "Stand Your Own Ground " law is still on the books. Pens that write bad laws are shinning in their hands....They could be and are in fact lethal so "Stand Your Own Ground".
Watch your tongue, child. You might someday anger someone who, like Zimmerman, takes justice into his own hands regardless of what constitutes real justice. Get that chip off your shoulder before someone mistakes it for a target. And as a tenth and twelfth generation Yankee WASP, more of whose whose ancestors have invested sweat and blood in this country than you can count potential fathers, I am proud to be a communist by your criteria. I look forward to the day when this country turns against your kind of dreck and people like you end your meaningless lives of fellating Mammon slumped against a wall with dozens of holes in your carcasses, and are shoveled into a pit of lye, dissolved, and forgotten.
