im blocking your path and by racially insulting you ive made it clear this is not a 'happy' situation.

in the 5 to 10 seconds the situation takes-- you have to decide whether i might be about to kill you or jump you...

ive started a fight. to assume that my intent was only to annoy would be a pretty big faith based judgement.

Until you actually do something, like throw a punch or move to draw your weapon, you haven't started "a fight". You're just being an obnoxious ass.


I'm willing to let an armed man be as obnoxious as he wants to be, as long as he wants to be, without trying to escalate it further myself until the cops arrive or I have no choice but to move to preemptively defend myself. Why? Because I'm not stupid.

You had a cell phone in your hand. Call the cops.

i am physically blocking you. you need to touch me.

in the 5 seconds

dont move

**hint to you im armed
** block your escape

this is all going to take less than 5 seconds

youd be justified in pullung a gun and firing in self defense.

People seem to have trouble understanding that Zimmerman did nothing illegal follow Martin, and the only legal response Trayvon had was to call the police.



So you can only "stand your ground" when you are armed? lol you guys are too cute

I think you are being intentionally naive about this.

stand your ground can only apply to martin because zimmerman pursued him and initiated the conflict.

it seems like martins biggest error was not having a gun, but he was 17 so he wouldnt have ever had the opportunity to be armed anyway.

so the law needs to be changed to allow minors to carry. and to make it a high school course to carry.

also, it needs to be against the law to patrol while armed. that gun shouldve been unloaded..

if you want to patrol the streets while armed with a weapon then you need to join the police force and be licensed by the state/district.

Martin would still be alive if he didn't physically attack Zimmerman. He could have just kept walking and nothing would have happened. He could have spoken with Zimmerman in a normal, friendly manner and nothing would have happened. He chose the least best way to proceed. Now he's dead because of it.

It really comes down to that. I'm sorry that you can't or won't see that.
