Whatever else is involved, there is no

I ask again, would you feel the same way if it was you who had
shot an
unarmed teenager (in your house, just to follow your other note).
In Maryland, the castle doctrine is not very inclusive.
Basically you need to jump out a window if you can to retreat.

A home invader is not the same as a kid walking down the street.

Don't you mean casing the 'hood? When confronted, beat up a rent-a-cop?

Martin was walking to his father's place after buying candy and a soft
drink at a nearby convenience store. There's not the slightest evidence
he was "casing" anything. And Zimmerman wasn't a rent-a-cop.

Moron.

The Zimmerman police call said Martin was walking slow and looking
INTO cars.
We also have an indication that he stole things before. He was found
with a bag of womens jewelry and a burglary tool in school.

A. Teen-aged boys look into cars.

B. Zimmerman would have no knowledge of that.

Teenage boys steal things out of cars.

Zimmerman might have thought the young man who was a stranger to the
neighborhood was acting suspiciously. Zimmerman might have been
justified to scrutinize this young man's behavior.
