My life, and those of my wife, children and family, are nothing less than GIFTS FROM G*D.
Failure to act to defend and protect those gifts BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY is tantamount to suicide.
Anyone who attempts to take my life, or those of anyone in my charge or care, has placed theirs in potential forfeit. I will not set out to deliberately take any life, but if the aggressor should die from the force necessary to stop his aggression, this is the consequence he accepted when he set upon the path which led to our confrontation.
I believe - at this point, based on all currently-available evidence, that Trayvon Martin acted in WHAT HE BELIEVED was self-defense when he attacked Jorge Zimmerman.
From Martin's perspective he was being followed by some strange man. He ran away, only to (I believe coincidentally) come across Zimmerman again as he returned to his truck. In his shoes - now face to face with the creep who'd been stalking me - I'd likely have decked him too!
The self-defense aspect however ENDED when Martin proceeded to mount a now supine and bleeding Zimmerman - who, with a broken nose and busted lip was laying flat on his back on the ground - and bash his head into the concrete.
This was now felonious assault, and Zimmerman was well within his right to consider himself in danger of death or great bodily harm.
Were there yet any remaining doubt, it was removed when Martin attempted to take Zimmerman's gun - there can simply be no doubt that he would be the DEAD one had he lost that struggle.
Further, had Zimmerman ended up dead, since he struck the first blow, MARTIN would be the one to face charges of at least second-degree murder!
Ergo, there simply can be no question that Zimmerman was within his right to pull the trigger in order to stop Martin's attack. That Martin died as a result of ONE SINGLE SHOT is IMHO just his bad luck!
Martin's troublesome past is ultimately irrelevant, as is the fact that Zimmerman was following Martin.
All that ultimately matters is that at the fateful moment, Zimmerman was acting in self-defense to stop a violent and potentially deadly attack.
This had NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the "stand your ground law" as it simply does not apply to anyone laying flat on their back, already bleeding, who has been mounted by their attacker and subject to ongoing, potentially fatal attack.
This was a case of tragic coincidence which led to legitimate self-defense.
