One thing would have made it stop from the beginning: one person owning up to misrepresenting what someone else said. That still didn't do that....only said 'well others (read: Colt) did that as well'. Three words would have solved it from the beginning: "I was incorrect" or "I was wrong". |

I quoted his exact words. I can't help it that he misspoke. |

From where I sit, your efforts would be better utilized responding to the questions posed to you. But I also thought Dreach would have just bailed by now. |

Honestly, with his initial accusation I thought he was joking. You are right that I should have bailed by now, but the ridiculousness with which he makes his claims sucked me in. Now I just "misspoke". Of course. |

I've got to just stick to my thoughts of getting out of this forum myself....it's simply a waste of time. |

Dreach let me clear this up also. If the alternative story is true where GZ followed TM and eventually caught up to him and confronted him, does TM have a right to stand his ground and use potentially deadly force to GZ? |

Define potentially deadly force. I don't consider punching someone to be using deadly force and I don't believe he was smashing Zimmerman's head into the ground. |

Remember this is a scenario where TM didn't double back, rather GZ caught up somehow and confronted TM. How about each of these individually Does TM have the right to: 1) punch GZ? 2) pin him down and punch him repeatedly in the face? 3) slam his head on the ground? |

I believe, if I'm reading the law correctly, that yes the law does give Martin the right to defend himself with deadly force. I think Zimmerman's actions were irresponsible enough that they could have made Martin fear for his life. I personally would not use deadly force unless it was absolutely necessary. |

This is where your bias creates a pretty big inconcistency. In your own words in the last 2 hours, you don't believe GZ had a right to use deadly force if TM doubled back and co fronted him unless his entire scenario were true where his head was getting slammed. Then in the same conversation you claim that TM did have the right to use deadly force when being followed and confronted. Why would GZ not be given those same rights if TM did double back and confront him. Why does he have to have his head slammed into the ground before he gets thise rights? Was GZ supposed to assume TM just wanted to share his skittles? Edited by Mr Gray, Jul 2 2013, 05:07 PM.

According to the eye witness, TM was on top straddling GZ, and pummeling his head MMA style. That, IMO, is a life threatening situation w/ or w/o any head slamming. |

Note, I do think GZ would have the RIGHT to use deadly force, I personally just don't think he should have because given the injuries sustained I don't feel as though his life was in imminent danger. I said as much here

Seriously why don't you guys follow the trial instead of arguing about what eachother said in the past... Obviously the trial is evolving and more information and PROFESSIONAlL opinion is coming to light... Medical examiner testifies GZs injuries to the back of his head are consistent with only being slammed to the ground once... The only thing debatable in this entire thing is if its worth a 2nd degree murder charge or not |
