....being followed by a Latin type stranger, or ANY stranger, at night, would NOT feel threatened? Would a white kid being followed by a stranger, a "Latin" type, at night, NOT be frightened?

...all Zimmerman had to do, to maintain a scenario where he felt "threatened", was to make sure he scared Martin...scared him good, which is easy enough to do just by walking behind him...maybe even to the point of provoking an attack aimed at himself, knowing all the while that he had a gun on him that maybe he was ITCHING to use....take a few punches, get knocked down...and then pull your gun and blow the kid away, because HE felt threatened....who started to threaten whom first that night? Was Martin any kind of real threat to Zimmerman? Did he BECOME one after being followed....maybe...but who ASKED for it? Martin, or Zimmerman?

The stand your ground law is just a law that makes murder harder to prove...because who won´t say "I felt threatened", after killing someone? Rednecks can go to Black neighborhoods, fully armed, looking for someone who MIGHT "threaten" them....and that can mean someone fighting back at a redneck "threatening" THEM!

How much "following" was Martin supposed to tolerate? Who DOESN´T feel threatened when being followed by ANY adult, late at night? Martin was justified in using his fists and teeth too if he felt reasonably threatened,,,,and being followed late at night by a stranger is a very reasonable thing to fear, especially if you´re Black. What did Zimmerman have to fear that night that he didn´t PROVOKE? The first one to feel threatened, I mean really threatened and who had historical precedent on his side was Martin...and if Zimmerman is trying to say that it eas okay to kill because he felt threatened...he felt this threat AFTER posing a threat to Martin...so if Zimmerman wants to be forgiven for reacting to a "threat" with deadly force...Martin has an equal claim to be forgiven for punching Zimmerman and getting grass stains on his jacket.

But, Zimmerman fired a gun...Martin used his fists.

Who´s under greater threat in this country...whites or Blacks? Whites will say they are...but the facts and statistics don´t bear that out...not even close.
