(73,631 posts)Because, I'm still waiting for you to make a convincing argument that he shouldn't.
Again you've stated that it's your opinion that it was Martin who was the aggressor, which you've only arrived at that because you've stated that you only believe Zimmerman's part of the story.
You decry his lack of morality in an attempt to depict yourself as an honest broker, while excusing the fact that he initiated the confrontation by chasing after Martin in the dark with a loaded weapon.
You turn the tables on Martin's right to defend himself after being chased down by Zimmerman, who eventually shot and killed him while unarmed.
How do you think that Martin was put into a situation where he could have eventually found himself having the upper hand in a struggle that he never wanted in the first place?
See where I'm going here?
If you think that Martin attacked Zimmerman out of the blue, without any justifiable provocation... At least say that.
I would respect that more than your own frequent attempts to muddle the conversation by your repeated recitations of the title of that statute again while mischaracterizing how it applied to all of the circumstances of that incident.
