You guys keep making the argument he had the right to defend himself, what about the kids right to defend himself? Does the law not apply to him because A. He didn't have a gun? B. He is black?
Fact: Zimmerman is on tape saying he was following the kid, and its on tape he was told to stop.
Is being followed by someone who is not a Police Officer not a threat? And what crime did this kid commit that gave Zimmerman reason to follow him? You guys keep mentioning Zimmermans right to defend himself, but what about the kid? If someone was following me for no apparent reason, I would see that as a threat, and that I was in imminent danger.
Martin's right to defend himself ended when Zimmerman hit the ground. just like it would anywhere else people have common sense.
