If you don't live in a gated community you do not understand. These
people pay thousands of dollars a year to live behind gates so they
will not have strangers walking around.
Every resident is part owner of that street, that sidewalk and the
grass in between. They have the same right to ask a stranger what they
are doing there as you would have to ask someone why they were walking
across your patio.

And the stranger has no right to just walk away?


Not really ... in Florida. On your property, you can pretty much shoot
them and that is particularly true if they punch you in the nose and
knock you down
Harry would shoot you for that and he lives in a "retreat state"

So if a man like Zimmerman approaches me at night in Florida while I'm
walking home I can't under law walk away?

You can certainly walk away but you can't punch them in the nose for
asking "what are you doing here" on private property.

And there you have it... it's not against the law to ask someone a question. It IS against the law to commit assault & battery.

"Going to my Dad's house." was the proper response. A little less attitude would have saved his life.

Oh, so a person in Florida is automatically supposed to just do nothing
when someone attempts to assault him? Then just what IS this stand your
ground law for?

That is a forcible felony in Florida and a bystander could have shot
Martin at that point. (using the old law)

I think Martin was standing his ground, and that's what you're supposed
to do in Florida. You state the above like it's facts and it's not, it's
hearsay, and not only that, barely plausible. How much are you going to
let a guy pummel you if you have a gun?

This all comes down to breaking Zimmerman's story and Corey has not
said she can do that, at least not in the charging document.
She is trying to make a case that Zimmerman got out of his truck,
intending to shoot Martin "with a depraved mind". If so, why did he
call the cops?

Because he's a cop wannabe vigilante.

We better get our head around the idea that Zimmerman is going to beat
this charge. It might get tossed in the immunity hearing. As Bill
Maher said the other night, store owners in Miami are already buying
the plywood to board up their stores.
It is going to be a long hot summer and if that happens, say hi to
President Romney.

There you go again, certain that Zimmerman is innocent because of
what??? Oh, FOX of course!

Evidently in Zimmerman's case long enough to get cold-cocked, have the guy get on top of you and bounce your head off the ground a couple of times.

Hearsay and pure conjecture.

"Beat this charge" does not equal "innocent". I'll bet even FOX would tell you that!

No, it's not according to the Sanford police department.
