[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If someone is on  top of you attacking you in the way the police report and zimmerman described you are allowed to protect yourself with lethal force using a firearrm. Thats the law.[/quote]

What if Zimmerman attacked him first?  Isn't Martin allowed to "Stand His Ground" and fight back?

I really don't think the law says that you can pick a fight with someone, and once you start getting your ass kicked, you can then shoot that person.  [/quote]

Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” Law

A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity, and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.

Stalking and attacking someone is an unlawful activity.  Also, there is absolutely no evidence that Zimmerman was anywhere near death or "great bodily harm".  Sure, he can say that, but how can he "reasonably" think that he was going to die?  He knew the police were on their way.  Dude doesn't have a leg to stand on.[/quote]
