But maybe a petite woman would be. But does the law determine who is weak or petite or is the law equal to everyone?

What is your point? stevedeshazer May 2012 #1

As a petite, older woman, I have to agree, uppityperson. JDPriestly May 2012 #50
But what if they break your nose? Life Long Dem May 2012 #74
Whoosh go the goal posts. uppityperson May 2012 #76
That's what the jury will see Life Long Dem May 2012 #77

Trayvon wasn't a random Stranger to Zimmerman, he was the guy Zimmerman was going after JI7 May 2012 #48
You actually didn't say anything. Life Long Dem May 2012 #51
he had a gun,police calls show Trayvon was trying to get away JI7 May 2012 #52

But, Trayvon Martin was not some stranger punching Zimmerman in the nose. JDPriestly May 2012 #53
Nothing is really relevant until the first punch Life Long Dem May 2012 #70
If Zimmy attacked Trayvon, did Tray have the right to defend himself from this? uppityperson May 2012 #75
