Oracle, read what you quoted of me closer:
If Martin struck first, and they can not disprove that his life was in danger, Zimmerman is a free man.

Meaning if they can prove that Martin stopped the assault, he will be charged with something.

Most Americans, from what I've gathered through personal surveys, so geographical bias might exist, believe shooting a robber after he's taken your money and is running away is ethically right.

Ethically right or not, it's legal, provided the robber has forcibly entered your home or place of residence.

The only thing this law does is actively show support for individuals to go out and shoot criminals. There's nothing in it that isn't already covered by rules within the judicial system.

I don't think you are understanding what "Stand Your Ground" means.

Spartan, he used that law to justify what he did in the first place. That's why nothing was done in the beginning of the case. (I live in Florida, it was talked about briefly as local news, but it was past up because it just seem as if the guy was standing his ground, which we found out later, he didn't)


It doesn't matter what he said originally, I don't expect everybody to be completely fluent in the law book. He still has the right to defend himself, even if it's not writting under Stand Your Ground, it's written elsewhere. As I said like 15 times in this thread, if the witness saw Martin stop, Zimmerman is fucked. If not, Zimmerman walks.

Donations for what? He's not the one who lost a family member.

Court cases are pretty damn expensive, and he can't go to work or anywhere in public thanks to a rather large bounty on his head. I don't think he's trying to get rich quick or some shit like that.
<Crooked> I'd say spartan, cause if he's tough enough to digest ungodly amounts of alcohol he clearly has the best body
