Ten years ago, George Zimmerman was acquitted for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
And while Zimmerman's defense didn't formally cite "stand your ground," his trial was the first time most Americans had heard of the law.
"Here was this person who was going home, and just because of how he was perceived, he was deemed violent, or dangerous, and then killed," said Jonel Edwards, the lead organizer of Dream Defenders. |

"Here was this person who was going home, and just because of how he was perceived, he was deemed violent, or dangerous, and then killed," said Jonel Edwards, the lead organizer of Dream Defenders."
No, not even close. Let me fix that for you.
"Here was this person who was going home, and because of how he was behaving, he was deemed suspicious, and then followed by a neighborhood watch guy while the police were en route. The suspicious individual saw the neighborhood watch guy following him at a distance and decided to beat him to death, and started to do just that, but was killed when his victim shot him in lawful self-defense."
Funny how they always forget the part where the "victim" decided to beat a dude to death. |
