The authors of the Stand Your Ground law themselves are saying that Zimmerman does not qualify as having "stood his ground" because he gave up that right the moment he PURSUED the suspect and got into a confrontation with him.
If people cannot get that then they don't understand the difference between defense and offense.
No wonder we're so eager to start wars with everyone, even preemptive wars.
In fact, Zimmerman appears to be channeling his own personal "Bush Doctrine", doesn't he?

Issad :
I'll readily admit my error regarding Greger's residency ! Doesn't change my opinion about the lynch mob mentality prevailing across the nation regarding this case ! (Or my low opinion of the blood-thirsty posters on this thread, either.) So y'all go "jine in " with ilk of Jesses Jackson and Al Sharpton and confuse this case to the point where it can't be honestly and legally tried ! >Mech Apparently, you missed the second part of my posting to you, Mech. I also wrote, "But, you do make a good point in suggesting that more facts are needed before the fellow is hung out to dry by popular opinion." by the way, If you look at his posts above, NW seems to be doing just that.

I have heard that Zimmerman called the police, and was told specifically NOT to confront the victim. Zimmerman totally ignored that, and got out of his car and pursued Trayvon. That scared Trayvon(I know I'd be scared if someone started to chase me for no reason), and then shot him in the back. Everything(including the police chief's actions) smells to high Heaven about this.

Black residents in Florida city say they're often harassed by policeReporting from Sanford, Fla.—
The slaying of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed, black 17-year-old, by a neighborhood watch volunteer has prompted a federal investigation and, on Thursday, the temporary ouster of the city's police chief.
To many black residents of Sanford, the escalating national anger over how local police have handled the case reflects years of tension and frustration over their treatment by authorities.
Murray Jess, for one, can't shake the memory of an evening two years ago, as he drove through Sanford at dusk, heading home after attending an art show with his fiance and his 14-year-old nephew. There is now a special prosecutor appointed by Gov. Rick Scott of Florida.

Iss, I'm going to ask you nicely to withdraw your personal and completely unsupported attack in the thread above. I even asked you for a cite that indicated Zimmerman had been arrested, because I had not seen one. Based upon your claim, I dug deeper and found contemporaneous reports that he had been placed in the back of the patrol car and reported that. Those reports also indicated that he was released at the scene by the responding officer. All I have ever done is expressed an opinion based on the evidence available at the time. It seems unfortunate to me that the Sanford police department has not done the same. I don't even think the the Chief should have had to step down, as he has hardly been in place long enough to have had much influence on how the investigation - or lack thereof - has been conducted; unless of course Zimmerman was released on his say-so.
I think, my friend, you have developed a personal grudge against me, and it has become apparent in a number of threads, of late. I may hage reacted to some of your posting behavior, which has been less than stellar.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
