Our results indicate that Stand Your Ground laws are associated with a significant increase in the number of homicides among whites, especially white males. According to our estimates, between 4.4 and 7.4 additional white males are killed each month as a result of these laws.
Now someone will bitch that the percentage of black vs white in jail is even more skewed because of racism.

Exactly.

What RATIONAL person would jump someone simply for following them?



Without a gun George probably would have ended up in the hospital with severe injuries at best.

Without the gun would he have gotten out of his truck?

Would he have been sooooooooo brave without a gun?

Well?????

The other important thing not being noted about TM's injuries, injuries to the hands and a gunshot wound and nothing else, is that it corrborates GZ's account.

An account that states GZ was being beaten, severly, while not fighting back and while screaming for help, yet the assaualt continued for at least 45 seconds.

Does someone who continues to pummel a victim who is not fighting back, through screams for help, does that NOT sound vicious to anyone?

HE'S JUST A CHILD!!! WACIST!!

I doubt it. Sounds like he's pretty wimpy. But he did wait 45sec+ before the shoot so he either forgot about it or was hoping help would come 1st. That's a long time to be on the bottom.

1. yes, he assumed the perp was long gone

2. what the hell is your problem with getting out of the truck? There is absolutely nothing illegal about getting out of the truck. If you want to talk about random things that could have prevented the shooting, how about the store. If the store had been closed, Martin would never have gone there and never encountered George. Clearly it's the store's fault for staying open late :-/

Or perhaps it's the fault of the Skittles. If Skittles hadn't been so damn delicious, he wouldn't have gone out in the middle of the night to get more of them.

It's telling that you keep trying to assign blame everywhere except to the one person who clearly deserves it.

It's telling that you keep trying to assign blame everywhere except to the one person who clearly deserves it: Trayvon Martin
this getting out of the vehicle obsession that Trayvon supporters have is really unhealthy. They think getting out of his truck is a bigger deal than Trayvon assaulting him.

If Trayvon Martin wasn't a stupid thug, would he have gotten killed?

If he had just acted like a normal human being and instead of thugging it and keepin it real by attacking GZ, would he still be alive?

Well????????????

A normal person would tell GZ that they lived there and to fuck off or he would call the cops. If GZ kept following, cops would've been called. The end.

BS. GZ was looking for someone to shoot. TM just happened to be the poor teen.

Sad.

If that were true, GZ had no reason to call the cops before using his gun. He could have approached TM when he first spotted "the poor teen", instead of making that call.

Hush, we need highland to have his little tantrum. Then he'll burn all his energy out, we'll give him a bottle, then it's nap time. He must be teething.

Because GZ is a criminal mastermind. Mind like a steel trap, he planned this out in .0376 seconds. He even timed his screams for the 911 recording while he was on top of poor TM. How can you people not realize this?

If Trayvon had a gun and GZ was on top of him durring the altercation, would Trayvon be in jail?

Sadly, others are spouting the same tripe with much more sincerity. :(
