Title: Zimmerman gets a stand-your-ground hearing

It's going to be pretty bad. If this qualifies as self defense, then we need to really evaluate self defense laws.

I just don't think carrying a gun gives you the right to go and start fights and then shoot the other guy when you are losing that fight. Maybe I'm just a crazy gun control nut, though. :dunno:

I agree, but I'm also pretty sure that GZ shot TM to death after chasing TM down.

I think "Who had a reason to be at the location at the time of the altercation?" should come into play as well. TM probably just thought that GZ was an intruder and was protecting his father's girlfriend's property.

If anything he was protecting himself from some weird trying to detain him for some unknown reason.

Yeah, no kidding. If GZ pulled him even a few feet that is kidnapping, but unfortunately GZ killed the only witness to this crime so we will never know.

My step sister lives 2 blocks away from where the shooting took place.

She has talked to several cops from the town about it.

TM jumped GZ after GZ was following him and told him to stop.

Started smashing his head into the ground.  GZ pulled his gun and shot him once in the chest.

The cops she talked to were all  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: when they heard people saying it was cold blood.  GZ defended himself and the black community is twisting it to a race war(mostly fueled by the media).

If he gets found guilty it will be because GZ would have been smeared to look like a racist to the jury/judge.  All the evidence points to him being well within his legal rights to retaliate how he did.  It's not like he emptied a clip.

OK Unruly, let me get this straight.  You're saying TM knew GZ was following him, asked GZ to stop following him, GZ didn't, so TM jumped GZ.  At this point GZ has the right to pull out his gun and shoot TM because he is being attacked.  TM stood his ground against a man following him because he felt threatened, but because TM stood his ground with his fists, that gives GZ the right to stand his ground with a gun?

If it's within your legal rights to provoke someone to protect themselves (while knowing you are carrying a gun) and then shoot them because of their reaction to you stalking them, then the law is mumped up.

I don't think this is the definition of standing your ground. More like beating the crap out of somebody for following you.

If someone is following me at night, I asked them to stop following me, and they kept following me...yes. What's more mumped up is deciding that it's a better outcome to shoot a kid in the chest rather than take a few more punches/kicks. 

You're telling me that if someone is following you at night, you start running, then they continue to follow you to the point that they catch up to you after you've been running, you aren't going to defend yourself?  I start running, the person following me keeps up to the point that they catch up, I'm going to try to kick their ass when they get to me.  I don't really see how thats "mumped up".

Following.   Not assaulting.  As soon as he lays hands on you, by all means kick his ass.  But following?  Call the damn cops or a friend or get somewhere safe.  But I have to assume that anyone following me likely has a gun and attacking them is going to get me shot - and justifiably so.

No wonder everyone is so anti-gun.  If you're willing to kick someone's ass for following you, you likely don't trust yourself to be carrying a gun and don't trust anyone else.   Sheesh... talk about paranoia.

So I shouldn't defend myself because I should assume the other person has a gun, therefore if I defend myself I should assume I'm going to get shot and it's my fault when I get shot...yeah, my view is the mumped up one.

Have someone chase one your family members through their neighboorhood at night, then tell me when they get killed because they fought back rather than called the cops their killing was justified.  Jesus rough ridin' christ.

Well you're supposed to stop kicking their ass once you have the upper hand, like when he's on his back and crying like a girl and bleeding from his head.

That's probably why he got shot. If TM had just assumed GZ had a gun like Heinballz suggested, he could have just beaten him to death and then claimed self defense. It's hard to grab your gun and shoot somebody while you are trying to protect your face from vicious blows.

Fighting back from what?  Defending from what?  Here's where the paranoia part comes in.  FOLLOWING IS NOT ASSAULTING.  I don't know how to make it more clear than that.  If someone is following you, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSAULT THEM.

Basically, GZ is innocent according to the law.  The law might be mumped up, though.  Honestly the most interesting stories are when those little weird circumstances add up and, under those circumstances, the law doesn't make sense.  So we focus on the 1% of the time the law doesn't work.  Let's not knee-jerk here people.

No, he doesn't have the right to chase him or follow him.  But following OR chasing does not equate to assaulting.  One is illegal, the other is not.  GZ is a douchbag - no one is debating that.  TM is also a douchbag - you are disputing this.

Well you're supposed to stop kicking their ass once you have the upper hand, like when he's on his back and crying like a girl and bleeding from his head.

That's probably why he got shot. If TM had just assumed GZ had a gun like Heinballz suggested, he could have just beaten him to death and then claimed self defense. It's hard to grab your gun and shoot somebody while you are trying to protect your face from vicious blows.

Basically, GZ is innocent according to the law.  The law might be mumped up, though.  Honestly the most interesting stories are when those little weird circumstances add up and, under those circumstances, the law doesn't make sense.  So we focus on the 1% of the time the law doesn't work. Let's not knee-jerk here people.

 :thumbs:

Not that I think the law is broken.  GZ is guilty of stalking at the very least.

No, he doesn't have the right to chase him or follow him.  But following OR chasing does not equate to assaulting.  One is illegal, the other is not.  GZ is a douchbag - no one is debating that.  TM is also a douchbag - you are disputing this.

How is someone attacking a person chasing them through their neighboorhood on a dark, rainy night a douchebag?  As you said earlier, TM should have tried to get to a safe place...that's exactly what he rough ridin' did when he started running but GZ caught up to him.  But TM attacking GZ after GZ caught up to him after a running foot chase...that makes him a douchebag?

Also, I'm pretty sure if I came to your neighboorhood and chased you around in the dark for awhile, you would claim I was breaking some sort of law.

If some stranger is walking around on my property in the middle of a rainy night, I definitely have the right to judge him, especially if he is armed.

Well now you're just throwing hypothetical situations out there to make my argument void. 
Hey everyone!  Heinballs says that if a dude wearing a jason mask and carrying a big machete is following you in your house, you can't kick his ass until he tries to kill you.   What a douchbag, amirite?

FTR, what you're doing is social engineering.

1. Trayvon did not own the property, but he did live there.

2. It was raining.

Had Trayvon killed GZ, he would have a self defense claim that would stand up under duty to flee laws, not to mention stand your ground.

I'm not so sure.  It takes a lot longer to kill a person by beating them to death than by shooting.  One could argue (and these arguments have been made in Florida in stand-your-ground hearings before) that it would be excessive.

Here's one thing though, wouldn't GZ not qualify for stand-your-ground if the was breaking the law at the time, ala stalking or trespassing?

IF GZ gets off on the stand-your-ground law, this is where the mumped-up law structure I've been talking about this whole time comes into play.  If the incident is started by you breaking the law, then you shouldn't qualify for stand-your-ground.  If that's not in the law, the law is mumped up.  If it is in the law, GZ shouldn't get off and this whole discussion is moot.

Who was attacked by who would be the indicator of who I would side with obviously... There's just so many conflicting stories out there, I don't know what to believe.

So because the 911 dispatcher isn't a cop, that makes it OK for GZ to continue to chase TM through the neighboorhood eventhought GZ knows the cops are on their way?  If you aren't going to wait for the cops to show up to do their job, why the even call 911 in the first place?

I'm saying it's not illegal for GZ to not follow the dispatcher's directions.  Or that him ignoring those directions does not by itself nullify the stand-your-ground statute.

OK Unruly, let me get this straight.  You're saying TM knew GZ was following him, asked GZ to stop following him, GZ didn't, so TM jumped GZ.  At this point GZ has the right to pull out his gun and shoot TM because he is being attacked.  TM stood his ground against a man following him because he felt threatened, but because TM stood his ground with his fists, that gives GZ the right to stand his ground with a gun?

If it's within your legal rights to provoke someone to protect themselves (while knowing you are carrying a gun) and then shoot them because of their reaction to you stalking them, then the law is mumped up.

This is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).  Your natural response to someone following you is "kick their ass"?  That's mumped up.

1. Assault is defined differently in different states - but typically it deals with imminent intention of doing harm.  Pulling a weapon would suffice.
2. It's already been stated that this case represents 1% of when laws don't work - which I agree that happens - why is it hard to believe that 1% of the time, the guy following you could just be trying to return the wallet you dropped. 

This entire debate reminds me of a study done several years ago where they had children play Grand Theft Auto at different age brackets to see how they played the game.  It was surprising to see the kids roughly 7 & under play the video game in a completely non-violent manner.  Driving around firetrucks/ambulances and generally being decent human beings.   The older kids drove around killing prostitutes and were shocked to know that it was possible to drive around firetrucks and make $$ by putting out fires. 

You're the type of guy that drives around choking out prostitutes - and shocked to see that people might have good intentions.   I'm the guy that knows you like to choke out prostitutes, but also knows some people like to drive around with their fire trucks and put out fires - so I withhold judgement until I'm sure if I need to shoot you in the rough ridin' chest or not.    So until it is evident exactly who initiated the assault, I will withhold judgement on who is legally responsible, but I will immediately judge both of them for being the type of guys that like to drive around & choke out prostitutes.  I should emphasize though that enjoying this behavior is not illegal... the behavior itself is.

Good luck with stopping, turning around, and asking "why are you chasing me?" when they catch up to you.  You take your chance that the crazy guy has good intentions and is just waiting until he catches you to tell you that you dropped your wallet instead of yelling it at you while he chases you.  No reasonable person chases someone around the neighboorhood in the dark without identifiying themselves.  If someone is chasing me in the dark and catches up, I'm turning around swinging.  If he yells out a reasonable answer as to why he was chasing me at any point, like "I'm neighboorhood watch", I'll stop.  (It should be noted that no where in anything about the TM case has GZ said that anytime during the incident he identified himself as neighboorhood watch.)

I'm done with this.   You're clearly trying to paint me as something I'm not.   FTR, you've revealed yourself as someone that is no different than TM or GZ as you've illustrated your ability to cast judgements and assertions based off of your vague and unclear perceptions.  I'll maintain that you shouldn't judge a person based off misconstrued sinister actions when they could be completely innocent in nature - something each party was guilty of.  Maybe GZ was running up to ask him what TM was doing - you don't know - there has been no trial.   At the end of the day, an innocent kid is dead. - It's sad - but innocent people die all the time.  Where is the heartfelt sorrow & bickering/anger/outrage at the thousands of people that die every day?  Why has this one become such a big deal?

What do you think I'm trying to paint you as?  I'm not trying to paint you as anything.  What I am doing is attacking you for calling TM a douchebag for defending himself because he was being chased in the dark by someone who didn't identify themself and trying to put him in the same boat as the guy who had a 60+pound advantage and still felt the need to shoot him in the chest, eventhough there was enough separation between the two he got off a clean shot to the chest.  I have no idea how you can say "I'm no different than TM" and mean that as an insult. 


You keep defending GZ by saying we don't have the facts because their hasn't been a trial, but you keep damning TM...but hey, keep attacking me for passing judgement GZ, you clearly haven't on TM

Well damn... I know I'd said I was done - but you sucked me back in.   I suggest you're painting me as something because you won't let my opinion go and you're twisting what I say into crap no one would agree with.  I have no clue what you're agenda is - but you've taken offense to my opinion that you're condemning someone before knowing any facts at all.  FTR, you were attacking me long before I called TM a douchebag.  Also, I'm not defending GZ - I'm just failing to persecute him -There is a tremendous difference.  I've put them on equal footing in douchebag status because they were two adults that failed to communicate in an effective way to prevent someone from getting shot or their "ass kicked".   But seriously - you're taking the term douchebag too seriously...  it's not a condemnation of their souls or painting them as evil.   It's merely an observation; perhaps bonehead would be a better word?

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and may you live the rest of your life without reason to mistrust anyone.

My point is that I keep attacking you because you continue to make comments like this.  They are not on equal footing.  One was a 200+ pound, 28-year old man who was carrying a gun, knew he was carrying a gun and started the confrontation.  The other was a 17-year old, 140 pound, unarmed kid being followed in the dark by an adult who failed to identify who he was.  Yet you make comments that they are on equal footing that they were two adults that failed to communicate in an effective way.  I can't help but respond because you make such stupid comments like this one and "you're just like TM" and mean that as an insult. 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and no one ever chases your 17-year old son around the neighboorhood in the dark.

Sorry, my 140-pound comment was wrong, he was 5'11", 158-pounds according to his autopsy...that changes everything, since he was 158 lbs 17-year old, not 140 lbs a 17-year old, then they are both equally responsible for the miscommunication that resulted in him being shot in the chest.

Forgive me for not making myself clear.  Equal footing in that they both resorted to violence out of mistrust - not equal in physical stature.  But if you do want to go down that path, the "140 pound 17 year old" kid seemed to be holding his own until the gun came out.

FWIW, My son knows it is wrong to racially profile and chase someone that appears to be minding their own business - just as he knows it is wrong to physically attack someone that has not physically attacked him. I have witnessed him engage in conversation with people attempting to bully him - and watched as he deflates their ignorance.   He's also really good at pointing out hypocrites... something I'm trying to become better at myself.

If funny what adrenaline will do to a 17 year old kid when they are being chased in the dark by an unidentified adult.  Of course, he must not have been kicking GZ's ass that bad if GZ was able to get his gun between the two of them and get off a shot to the heart.

How dare that 17-year old not have any understanding or perspective while being chased in the dark by an unidentified adult. 

BTW, we aren't that far off on alot of this, our only difference is the line at which you have the right to physically defend yourself from a percieved physical threat.  I content that line is cross when being chased in the dark by someone who fails to identify themself or their purpose in chasing you.  At that point, there is no burden on the individual being chased to make sure there isn't a lack of communication.

Punishment?  How will punishment prevent something like this from happening in the future?  How will it bring TM back?  I'm saying, it's irritating that events like this turn into a witch hunt trial - when it's a clear reflection of the illness within society and anger & fear were to blame - something each person was guilty of.  Understand when I say fear, I mean mistrust.

FTR, I think GZ deserves jail-time... but focusing solely on GZ & what he did wrong will not solve anything.

So if we give that GZ had the right to use his gun to defend himself, do we really think it was okay to shoot him in the chest for a killshot?  I'm sure it all happened fast and all, but I would imagine that if he had told TM that he was going to shoot him, then TM would have stopped, or GZ could have at least shot him in the leg or arm or anywhere that he would have a chance of surviving.  I dunno. I think its all pretty mumped up. If GZ didn't have a gun, then neither of them are dead today.  I don't think that is really debatable.

good call heinballz. that 17 year old was being chased by an adult male with a gun in the dark. once he was caught by the adult male with the gun that was chasing him, he should have just "engage(d) in conversation with people attempting to bully him - and watched as he deflates(d) their ignorance".

you probably expect women to just lay back and take it too i guess. or maybe they could also "engage in conversation" and "deflate the ignorance" of someone that is threatening physical acts on them. you should teach a self defense class with this stuff.

Sure, I don't believe that TM would have beaten GZ to death or vice versa. Certainly there is a lower chance of death.  To be clear, I didn't say if all guns were outlawed no one would ever be killed, I said if GZ didn't have a gun, then neither of them would have died.

I don't know what the hell happened and I don't side with either one of them since I have not tried to follow the details of this. I am pretty sure it didn't happen like this:
Guy with gun: <while chasing guy without gun, draws his gun and says> Stop, I have a gun.
Guy without gun: <turns around and runs up to guy with gun and starts beating the crap out of him>
Guy with gun: <takes at least one good blow to head (maybe several) and then shoots the guy without gun>

Note, I did love the pictures the media was using of the guy without gun. It looked like he was 11 or 12 years old and I was like, "How in the hell could <guy with gun> shoot a pre-teen?!?"

I gave up on this thread a few pages back, but why do we think he ran? At some point he had to confront the guy with the gun in order to beat on him prior to getting shot. If he would have run and gotten shot in the back while running away, down a public street, the guy with a gun would be behind bars, wouldn't he?

Forgive me guys... I was way off on this.  I didn't realize GZ was running around with his gun out just looking for black people to shoot.    I figured the gun came out after TM started kicking his ass.    I only assumed that when I heard TM was cutting through properties & hopping fences at the gated community... I didn't realize TM was calmly walking down the sidewalk when a crazed racist mexican came running up on him with his gun drawn telling him to "bite the curb or die mother rough rider!"

ABC News was there exclusively as the 16-year-old girl told Crump about the last moments of the teenager's life. Martin had been talking to his girlfriend all the way to the store where he bought Skittles and a tea. The phone was in his pocket and the earphone in his ear, Crump said.

Trayvon Martin, 17, was fatally shot by neighborhood watch leader George Zimmerman. Neighborhood-Watch Shooting: Girlfriend Speaks Watch Video
  Trayvon Martin's Alleged Killer: 911 Calls Watch Video
  Florida Teen Killed by Community-Watch Member Watch Video
 "He said this man was watching him, so he put his hoodie on. He said he lost the man," Martin's friend said. "I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast. I told him to run, but he said he was not going to run."

Eventually, he would run, said the girl, thinking that he'd managed to escape. But suddenly the strange man was back, cornering Martin.

"Trayvon said, 'What are you following me for,' and the man said, 'What are you doing here.' Next thing I hear is somebody pushing, and somebody pushed Trayvon because the head set just fell. I called him again, and he didn't answer the phone."

The line went dead. Besides screams heard on 911 calls that night as Martin and Zimmerman scuffled, those were the last words he said.

Trayvon's phone logs, also obtained exclusively by ABC News, show the conversation occurred five minutes before police first arrived on the scene. Crump said the girl's identity was being withheld because "her parents are gravely concerned about her health and her safety." Her parents asked that only an attorney be allowed to ask her questions.

Martin's father, Tracey Martin, and mother, Sybrina Fulton, listened to the call, along with ABC News, ashen-faced.

"He knew he was being followed and tried to get away from the guy, and the guy still caught up with him," Tracey Martin said. "And that's the most disturbing part. He thought he had got away from the guy, and the guy backtracked for him."

The girl was so distraught after the killing that she spent a night in the hospital, the lawyer said.

"She was really traumatized over this. They were dating. ... It's a situation where to know you were the last person to talk to the young man who was one of the most special persons in the world to you," Crump said.

The lawyer said he would give the details of the phone call to the federal investigation.

"We're going to turn this over to the Justice Department because the family does not trust the Sanford Police Department to have anything to do with the investigation," said Crump.

Zimmerman killed Martin as Martin walked back to his father's fiance's home after stepping out to buy snacks during the NBA All-Star Game. After weeks of relentless pressure, the Sanford Police Department at last released emergency and nonemergency calls placed during the attack.

"These a**holes always get away," Zimmerman said in a call to a nonemergency number.

Dispatcher: "Are you following him?"

Zimmerman: "Yeah."

Dispatcher: "We don't need you to do that."

An altercation soon ensued. A few moments later a torrent of 911 calls flooded in and Martin was killed by a single bullet. Zimmerman claimed self-defense and has yet to be arrested, stoking outrage and claims of prejudice against the police department.

"When George Zimmerman is arrested, tried and convicted I will get a little rest," Tracey Martin said.

Seems like the person stalking someone was probably in the wrong.  Also, carrying a gun around with them as part of their neighborhood watch duties is probably not a great decision.  Probably also should've listened to the dispatcher who said to knock it the eff off.

All of those seem much stupider/more dangerous than confronting someone following you.

captain fat-ass (Zimmerman) states in the final moments of the call to police that "I don't don't know where he is" and the call ends. Sometime after, the two end up in a altercation. Do people really believe that captain fat-ass could chase down this kid? The lack of critical-thinking skills being displayed by a mass is unbelievable, but then again, no it is not.

No, you shoot him after he attacks you, slams your head into the ground, then tells you: "you're gonna die tonight [redacted]."

If someone where to say that to you, I would want you to have the legal right to shoot them, as long as you didn't initiate the altercation.   

I don't believe TZ initiated the confrontation, I believe he was only guilty of following him (which isn't a crime) because he suspected him of breaking into houses. It really doesn't matter why he had those suspicions; if he were incorrect in those beliefs, TM probably wouldn't have jumped him and he would have said: "eff off, my house is right there."  And the whole thing probably would have ended there.

Like, they never said they found a gun on him. This crazy person said he pointed a gun at him at a previous time. BRB. Let me read it again.

If I had a list of people most likely to wave a gun at someone GZ would be on it

This guy sounds worse than Zimmerman, and that's saying a lot:

Quote
Zimmerman told officers he had been driving in the Orlando suburb of Lake Mary last week when Apperson got behind his truck and yelled, "You remember me you fat mother f-----?" according to the report.

Apperson then yelled at Zimmerman, "You owe me your life. The only reason I didn't press charges on you is because I wanted to kill you myself," Zimmerman told detectives, according to the report.

Zimmerman and Apperson had a previous road-rage encounter last September, when Apperson alleged that Zimmerman had threatened him. Apperson decided not to pursue charges, and police officers were unable to move forward without a car tag identified or witnesses.

Two days later, Apperson called police to report that Zimmerman's truck was parked near the disability-benefits office where he worked. Zimmerman told police officers he had an appointment in the same office park, and no charges were filed.[/quote]

I can't understand why Apperson is being charged with anything. He said George pointed a gun at him.

Not surprising that a crazy stalker would work for the government in some capacity, especially a disability benefits dept.

Honestly, the law should allow for this dispute to be resolved in a good old fashioned duel. Both participants should have to use the same model of pistol that Aaron Burr used.

Neither one of these guys has the balls.  GZ might if you could convince him he was going to duel a woman

Not that part.   He is a dumb, unattractive psycho who is somehow a hero amongst a certain demographic.  As dumb as he is, he has figured out that demo is stupid and easily fooled.

 We have our share of low life scummers tucked  into crannies and gullies in Renoland, but nothing like this guy.  Profiting from the fame of killing a kid is dog barf sick.  Sicker is the turd buying this blood art.  Could his buddy ban a gay islarmer from his gun range?

If I was an unredeemable lowlife piece of crap that found some super easy way of making money off of other unredeemable lowlife pieces of crap, I would certainly be doing it. 

I mean, if I was Zim, I would have already opened my own gallery/studio and be taking apprentices and teaching classes and stuff.
