TM never directly called Z a cracker. He told that to DD on the cell phone.I agree 100%, Trayvon had every right to stand his ground that night.
So did George Zimmerman.
Trayvon lost.
Doesn't make Zimmerman guilty if BOTH had the same right.
Except that a verbal or even physical rasseling match is no place for a gun.
GZ had the right to use the same degree of force that Trayvon used. Shooting someone who called you a cracker is just a tiny bit over the top, legally speaking. Especially since GZ said Trayvon tried to get away from him and he went after him.
Thing is, Trayvon wasn't doing anything wrong and this jerk came after him for doing nothing wrong. From the very first moment, GZ was in the wrong and that never changed.
Good point.
But even if he had screamed "CRACKER" at the top of his lungs, that's not just cause for murder.
There really is NO just cause for GZ to kill Travon.
