re: #35 Lidane

If the circumstances in this case had been reversed, and Martin had chased and killed Zimmerman in the same exact way that he was murdered, then we wouldn’t be talking about this story right now. Trayvon Martin would be in jail awaiting trial for murder, “stand your ground” law or not. It’s as simple as that.

Yeah, as much as I don’t want the focus to be on the racial aspect, I don’t see how a reversed scenario would have played out the same way. That a black vigilante gunning down a white teen on a rainy night because he “looked suspicious” would have walked free by claiming “self-defense.”
