This all started because you agreed with the notion that nobody would have died if Zimmerman didnt have a gun. What everybody is trying to force through your skull is that it is very possible Martin would have killed Z if not for the gun. It is also possible he would have stopped. Either way, claiming nobody would have died if there wasn't a gun is stupid.
association fallacy.
Banging someone's head into concrete is proof that they are sure trying.
Bullshit that's not all you're saying. What you're saying is Zimmerman didn't need to bring his gun with him, therefore, even though he's not legally culpably, you still think he's to blame.
Sure, it's possible. If you want to say "Zimmerman's gun possibly saved his life that night", I won't say a fucking word. But you when you say "Martin would have keep beating him until either someone interfered or Zimmerman died" when there is zero evidence to support that, I'm going to call bullshit. Words matter, especially when you're talking about the law.
Trying to beat them up? Sure. Trying to kill them? How do you figure? For a guy who was the first to accuse everyone of being brainwashed by the media, you sure are a sucker for the "bashing head against concrete" bit. You've read Zimmerman's interview with the police, right? Remember when the police told him the evidence didn't really support the part of the story where he repeatedly got his head smashed into concrete? The reason they said that was because he had 2 cuts to the back of the head and a fractured nose. You're imagining Martin grasping Zimmerman's head like a basketball, repeatedly smashing it into the concrete with the full force of his body weight, when the evidence shows that's clearly not what happened. His head got knocked against the sidewalk a couple of times, not particularly hard, and that's about it. Is it enough to consider your life in danger? Legally, of course! But you're assuming "head" + "sidewalk" = out-of-control monster that will not stop until he's sitting on a corpse. It's silly, really.
Wow, you're off the deep end here. What happened to the cold, logical Hodj we all know and love? I'm not blaming Zimmerman for anything. I'm blamingYOUfor making assumptions that are not backed by any proof.
I'm not pretending anything. I've readily acknowledged many times that Zimmerman's actions were legally justified. There's no hidden "but" here. Get off your high horse and strop trying to find secret hidden messages in my posts that don't exist. I'm being extremely clear here.
Zero evidence, except all the evidence from the trial.
Yeah, I'm aware of how attempted murder as a crime is written. Firing a warning shot in an occupied house is not the same as performing a drive-by shooting of an occupied house. They threw the book at her.
How many people get beaten to death with nothing but fists in the US in one year?

How many people die from freak accidents due to a single blow to the head? I don't know if anyone is actually arguing that Martin was actually planning on beating Zimmerman to death, but that's completely irrelevant. He was beating him severely enough for him to reasonably think he was in danger of serious injury up to and including death, which justified the use of lethal force in defending himself.
Not in this thread its not. You've been out of the loop so kindly play catch up before commenting.
The justice system worked fine. It's the laws that are fucking stupid as written.
U comparing a man watching out for his community with a man trying to rape a woman... God damn dat some dumb ass shit.
Which laws are stupid?
Around 800 (According to the FBI and Statistical abstract.) That's JUST personal impliments, fists, feet or biting--no slamming heads down on concrete ect.
