If your scenario is true, and if Martin felt Zimmerman was a threat, yes, under SYG, Martin would be justified in doing so.Oh I see so following and then running after someone is not chasing or running... Get a clue
There really is no evidence, much less "proof," that Zimmerman "ran."
But, let's not quibble.
Let's pretend that the proof is there.
Ok.
So, in following a guy he found suspicious who was getting away -- after the neighborhood watch guy had called the police about him -- Zimmerman chose to "run."
And?
In your twisted little mind, does this justify Martin turning around on Zimmerman and attacking him (if Zimmerman didn't touch Martin first)?
I'm pretty sure you aren't going to try to claim that there's ANY evidence that Zimmerman touched Martin before Martin struck Zimmerman. Are you?
Did you realize that being followed (even by a guy who is "running") is NOT a crime and does not constitute an "attack?"
A person is justified in using force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the others imminent use of unlawful force.
Was Trayvon under the impression that Martin's questions were unlawful force?
