Re: Trayvon Martin Case
Define "harrasing":
Asking questions, without showing the gun or indicating you are am armed? Making accusations about my right to be there without threatening me with physical harm, showing the gun or indicating that you are am armed? Without showing the weapon or giving me knowledge that you have a weapon, following me at a reasonable distance and not physically interfering with my ability to walk to my intended destination? Without showing the weapon or giving me knowledge that you have a weapon, following closely and obviously on a public street. Running when I run, walking when I walk but never physically hindering my ability to go where I choose? As soon as you start waving the gun or incorporating it into the "harrassment", then I would agree you got problems - at that point you are threatening life and limb. Again, there is no evidence that Zimmerman did this. He may have been an ass to Martin, but, that doesn't entitle Martin to attack him as Zimmerman alleges and for which there is no evidence to contradict. You don't like someone verbally harrassing you or following you on public property - call the police and ignore. Short of a credible threat of physical harm, such "harrassment" does not entitle you to use physical force against the harraser.
