Should Zimmerman be convicted to avoid race riots?

(( The moment Trayvon had Zimmerman on the ground and helpless while continuing the attack Zimmerman became justified in using deadly force no matter what preceded it! ))
 
 
Oh really now ~~  Is that what they taught you, in your little sand box.  Just how "helpless" was GZ, who was able to take out his weapon and shoot TM dead?? 
 
Sending GZ to train for the NSA Neighborhood Watch Program, was a waste of time,  GZ apparently didn't learn anything from it...

If you feel your life is threatened, you have a Right to protect it.  Having your head bashed onto cement sounds like a reason.

You seem to forget Jim, that works both ways.  TM could have felt threaten also,  If someone I didn't know was stalking me I'd feel threatend and you would too, unless of course you are carrying a loaded weapon...

Geee ~ I wonder what would have happened if GZ didn't have his weapon.  If Zimmerman had followed the ADVICE, and I repeat, ADVICE, of his neighborhood watch program's trainer and the Police dispatcher, GZ would not have needed to worry about using self defense...
 
 
If you can't produce a witness that can point out the aggressor, then you have nothing to contribute to this discussion.  All everyone is doing now is repeating the same old arguments...

Why would you "wonder?"  This is no longer about "what if's".   It is now in trial. Facts only...
 
Also, nobody said that Trayvon didn't feel threated as well.  He may have. They both may have.   We'll never know.

Without that firearm Zimmerman would either be dead or permanently disabled due to brain trauma!

What about that don't you understand?

Jivin' Jim,

Zimmerman stalked Martin for a considerable time and distance without identifying himself. Is that not probable cause for Martin to feel threatened? And, remember, pursuant to Florida's stand your ground law, simply feeling threatened is grounds for use of deadly force. Thus, being followed by an unknown "creepy-ass cracker" gave Martin the legal right to bash Zimmerman's  head into the concrete, to stab Zimmerman had he been armed with a knife, or to shoot him if he  had been armed with a firearm. Wouldn't you agree?

DUMB2DOOFAS,

If Zimmerman had heeded the dispatcher's instruction (and had not followed Martin in the first place), wouldn't you agree that he would not had risked being injured? Zimmerman could had avoided being injured, just as martin's death could had been avoided.

That has nothing to do with it!

Zimmerman did nothing to provoke the attack and would be dead if he had been unarmed!

DUMB2DOOFAS,

Get your head out of your ass.

Zimmerman dismissed the dispatcher's advise and stalked Martin for a considerable time and distance during a dark rainy night. There is no evidence that he ever identified himself to Martin. Zimmerman provoked the altercation by making Martin feel threatened. Given the what we know happened that night, and given the fact that he was not carrying a weapon, one could safely presume that Martin feared for his life. So he had every legal right to defend himself against the "creepy-ass cracker" who was stalking him. Yes. Zimmerman provoked the attack, and Martin might be alive today if not for Zimmerman's actions that tragic night.

So you believe you have the right to assault anyone you think is following you at any time?

DUMB2DOOFAS,

No I don't, and that's the main reason stand your ground laws should be repealed.  Pursuant to stand your ground laws, a person only has to feel threatened and the use of deadly force is justified. Thus, it stands to reason that Martin had every legal right to use deadly force against an unknown, crazy, creepy-ass white man who had followed him for a considerable length of time. Wouldn't you agree?

Ass, read first, think about what you have read and then respond!

Trayvon assaulted Zimmerman not the other way around!
