You better have probable cause! There's this thing called the Constitution, here. It's pretty important.You can't "confront" someone if you're actively trying to get away from them.
When and if they catch up with you after pursuing you, you aren't "confronting" them when you stand your ground.
What we have here is a case of standing your ground, and a criminal then gunning down the lawful citizen who was rightfully standing their ground.
Zimmerman is toast...TOAST I said!
You would convict someone without seeing any of the evidence. I am sure of that.
When the alleged victim is black.
I prefer to see all of the evidence and any witnesses before I reach a conclusion that a defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
Something about The United States Constitution that clearly states Zimmerman is PRESUMED innocent.
I know the presumption of innocence is a difficult standard to comprehend when one's judgment is clearly grounded with prejudices and bias be they black or white.
I saw this in the 60s with whites and now I see it with blacks.
Well in order to see all the evidence, in the United States we first arrest and charge someone.
Except in this case, of course, we didn't arrest or charge someone. We did, however, drug test the dead body.
