re: #34 Obdicut

On the other hand, Trayvon’s claim, if he were alive, could have been that he was being chased down with this guy with a gun, and had no clue WHY someone would be chasing him with a gun, in a neighborhood where he and his grandfather were quite legally visiting a friend.

I want to see how it plays out before deciding the law is massively flawed. Maybe it goes beyond what is necessary; maybe all that’s needed is the regular “self-defense” law. I don’t know. I do know that I’m not particularly keen on the idea that I must first turn my back on and try to flee from somebody who I believe is intent on doing me harm before I can defend myself. I turn my back - they’ve got me, no ifs, ands or buts about it.
