o makes a good point.
if trayvon martin had had a gun and had felt threatened because a creepy ass cracker was following him and had killed george zimmerman because of it, in law he might also have been found not guilty. self-defence plea.
so the law kinda encourages a person to shoot first.
indeed, one might take it a step further. m may lawfully have been standing his ground because he reasonably believed his life was in danger from the suspicious character observing him. who was that guy? was he a potential homosexual pedophile rapist, as someone said?
whack!
so they were possibly both legally entitled to kill each other under florida law. in those circumstances, the winner in law is the one who succeeds in doing so.
that's absolutely daft.
