re: #273 Altar Boy of Darwinism

But he did not give up that right as the laws are written.

Which is bullshit. Trayvon Martin was walking home, minding his own business. How is Zimmerman getting out of his truck to chase him down NOT an escalation of something or an attack on Martin? The kid didn’t do anything to engage Zimmerman in the first place except walk in his line of sight.

If anyone should be entitled to the protection of “standing his ground” in this case, it would have been Martin, but he’s dead.
