[quote=Anonymous]You all are completely misinterpreting the Stand Your Ground law.  You cannot instigate a confrontation with someone and then claim self-defense when you start losing the fight.  The idea that Trayvon attacked him is ludicrous.  There is NO evidence to support that other than Zimmerman's statement.

FACT: Zimmerman told the 911 dispatcher that he was following Trayvon.  The dispatcher said, "We don't need you to do that."  Zimmerman said that Trayvon was RUNNING AWAY.  He followed him.  Had he followed the instructions of the dispatcher, he would not have followed Trayvon.  If the person is RUNNING AWAY, how can you be threatened by him?

FACT: There are phone records that prove that Trayvon was on the phone with his girlfriend moments before the police arrived on the scene.

Does it makes sense that a person who was talking on the phone would try to attack another person for no particular reason?  Would it make sense that a person who had been running away (i.e., scared) would suddenly become and unprovoked aggressor?  Does it make sense that a kid would try to take down a guy who has a hundred pounds on him?

Think, people.  I'm not saying the law is a good one, because it's not.  But it in no way gives people carte blanche to go around shooting people whenever you feel uncomfortable.  The police in Sanford are saying that because they are trying to cover their own asses.  Every person who has actually WRITTEN the law is coming out against their so-called "interpretation."
