Stand Your Ground
Trayvon vs Zimmerman:
Now being a Black Male of a certain age, I've experienced a lot of racism and discrimination. With that being said- I would like to speak on this subject if I may:
First of all Zimmerman followed Martin after being told not to do so.. I believe that Zimmerman irritated Martin by following him around- which probably made Martin ask " why are you following me? " Now at this point I'm thinking Zimmerman would have said somethimg slick, and invaded Martin's space-which would cause Martin to attack. That would cause Zimmerman to draw his weapon and fire. He knew the Stand Your Ground Law, so he figured that he could make an example out of Martin and get away with it.
The self-defense law doesn't apply to a person that follows his attacker. It was a premeditated action, and I'll tell you why I think this.. No person in this world (any sane person) would follow a person he feels threated by- the pistol he was packing gave him that courage.. So he has in his mind already " I'm going to confront this guy ( Martin) and if he does anything or says anything I'm shooting him.
Now since this was premeditated shouldn't he get charged with first degree murder instead of second? It's time to show these people that they can't just take a black life and get away with it.
