[QUOTE="farmerbyron, post: 1771293, member: 4953"] So by your interpretation, you give up the right to self defense if you first flee? Or just that SYG does not apply if you first flee? In which case you still have a right to self defense under the laws previous to SYG. I can see no scenario where you would lose the protection of the law if you practice lawful self defense. I think you are taking things a little bit too literally without regard to the intent and practice of the law. Where Zimmermans trouble may lie is that he could be perceived as the agitator and brought the attack on himself. However, the other side of the coin is that if he was simply reporting suspicious activity and being in a place he has a legal right to be then he would have the protection of the law. IDK I'm no legal expert so I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
