Zimmerman did not justify his killing of Trayvon Martin under Stand Your Ground.
He justified his actions under the claim and supporting evidence that Trayvon Martin had him on the ground, sitting on him and was beating his head into the concrete.
It was unwise to get out of his vehicle to follow a person but he did not offer violence until attacked and trapped and possibly not thinking straight due to those repeated, documented and witnessed blows.

David for avoiding killers
(even if they are only trying to kill you with concrete)

First of all anyone who pushing hate is being racial themself. Al Sharpton needs to read his BIBLE more. He has No more torrance for other race than his own. Sounds like some over in Middle East that only belives only in there GOD. So No Al is no GODLY MAN TO ME. Evil comes in All forms. If he wants to make some changes. Take the Money he making off this situation and put it to good use. Hey Al go into your black community and invest into Education, vocabulary,manners,respect of others and self,pull your pants up and your shirts down,stop staying in the streets,get a job. I don’t owe you a darn thing not even the stuff I worked for. Stop stealing and breaking into my house. I know this not all blacks cause we have alot of whites that needs to read and also do this list. But the difference is we don’t go around blaming the BLACK race for our short comming and failure’s in LIFE. SO STOP riding on my shirt tails about how I have held you down. Your Culture has held you back not your skin color.2014 PEOPLE

Just recently, this Stand Your Ground law worked in the favor of a black man in Pensacola who shot 2 white perpetrators who were approaching his home to harm him.

If you google up the alleged Tawana Brawley rape case from 1987, you will learn all you need to know about the Rev. Al..

I believe if you are going to carrying the title of Reverend in your name, then that means you were called by the almighty Father to serve and further His kingdom. I also believe there will be fruits and evidence of Christ like behavior in not only your personal life but your public life as well. I have never heard anything spiritual come from Al Sharpton’s mouth or his “protest of the day”. I do not see how he could be furthering anyone’s kingdom but his self’s, for this reason and others I would not address him as a Reverend nor embrace his views of hate. I pray that those who do not have a personal relationship with my Savior Jesus Christ do not let this man keep them knowing the real spiritual love that our Father has for us all.

Why is it that all you see in the march is African Americans? It appears they are the only ones who has an issue with the “stand your ground” law. Not judging, just an observation from the last several times it has been under fire. Their actions aren’t representing their race very well if you ask me. When is playing the “race card” going to stop? What about all the other races that have been murdered by African Americans? You don’t see us marching around blaming a law or anything else for that matter. Why can’t African Americans stand up and take responsibility for their actions. Think back and ask yourself where was your parents and/or family members? Is it the rest of society’s fault you didn’t have a decent up bringing? NO! It’s your choice if you want to follow in the same foot steps as them or take a different path.

Sharpton is on a fund raising tour. He exploits his own people to fund his hypocrisy and fear mongering. He is more of a racist than the people he spews hate about. He needs to be listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group.

It is sad that we need laws giving people the right to protect themselves. Shouldn’t we be afforded that right without it being legislated?
