This.
I fully agree with the premise, but that 'current' photo of Martin is not him.
The answer is media hype and an agenda to harm pro gun advocacy. They chip away at the stone every chance they can get.
I think there is alot more to the story. I feel bad that the kid was shot, but Geraldo really nailed it on Fox News the other day.
Zimmerman's story is finally starting to come out.

I just heard/seen something I hadn't before. They released pictures of Zimmerman's face and he had a broken nose and needed stitches from the altercation with Martin.
Who started it may play a role in the decision but an adult v minor seldom goes well for the adult. Even less often when its adult male v juvenile male, Mr. Zimmerman cant claim disparity of force. He is a sizable fella.
I strongly disagree with the notion that wearing a hoodie makes you a "gangsta" myself and my wife wear hoodies all the time, we are far from gangsta. Hell, every kid who ever played a highschool sport likely has a hoodie at home with some affiliation with their school/sport.
EDIT:I love the fact that he says unless its raining, and then the poster put up the comment that it was raining haha. Whether or not it was in fact raining I dont know.

Martin the "kid" was 6 ft 3, wearing baggy hoodie that probably made it difficult to tell how "sizeable" he was or wasnt on a dark street
Most of these threads have been locked because folks aren't observing the forum rules, specifically the race issue. There's also been a lot of heated debate due to the inflammatory nature of all the reporting. If this one stays specifically on the SYG laws and issues concerning them, it might be the only related thread to not get locked. That's a BIG if right now...
I don't understand how SYG applies, didn't that go out the window when he pursued the guy, after calling 9-1-1, and after being told not to? Regardless of what happened after that, maybe self-defense, maybe not, still not covered under Stand Your Ground.
