If Zimmerman is using "Stand Your Ground" as a defense for why he shouldn't be arrested...

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

but the authors of the bill maintain that the Stand Your Ground law is not applicable in this case and/or he misused it, then shouldn't Zimmerman be arrested for violating the law?

Just asking, especially for those who think that somehow Zimmerman is being mistreated...

1. now his attorney (he now evidently has one) speaking out

says self-defense and says george zimmerman has a broken nose and back injuries (reported on msnbc i think)

3. If Zimmerman has injuries it is as a result of Martin standing HIS ground. nt

6. AMEN!! One person was armed. The other one was not armed. That's all I need to know as a black woman

4. It's such bullshit! How he claim that Trayvon was pursuing him if he has back and nose injuries?

And now the crime scene has been manipulated, and Trayvon is buried. Should his body be exhumed to check for bruises on the hand (if Zimmerman has a broken nose)? Is there was a struggle or fight, is there skin on under his nails, other bruises?

The problem with this entire case is that the investigation was botched. The crime scene tampered with.

At the very least, there should be an *external* independent investigation.

This is infuriating!!!

7. Next thing we'll hear is that Zimmerman has a broken back and nose injuries from the altercation.

Edited to add the sarcasm thingy but I can't find it...instead I'll add this one.

2. The authors of the bill are just trying to save there own political asses!

they were warned that this was a shitty piece of legislation but they passed it any way.

5. Yep!! NRA is making too much money from gun sales. I see that they contacted Mittens, Santorum,

and Grinch to help them get their talking points straight.

9. Aside from which, it is an affirmative defense

Fine, arrest him, charge him, and let him use the defense at his trial.

What boggles my mind is all this talk of a "defense" on the part of a guy who hasn't been charged with anything.
