You're willing to risk getting yourself shot to protect inanimate
objects? I'm not. We had a burglar visit us when we lived in Florida.

---------------------------------------------

BTW, I think your use of the word "burglar" romanticizes those who
seem to think they are entitled to take things that don't belong to
them.

They are what they are ... low life, thieving scum bags.

Indeed!

threatening me physically.

That is what got Martin shot

Oh, in what criminal act was Martin engaging?

If you were inside your truck you were not threatened. Your truck
might have been subject to damage. There was nothing to prevent you
from driving away.That sounds like you committed aggravated assault to
me. Good thing he didn't file a complaint.

Oh, I wasn't being threatened? Bull****. He wasn't carrying a bag of
Skittles and a soft drink when he came at me.

Assault and battery

He also was not likely to be able to outrun your truck.

You were not exposed and you had the ability to retreat. That is the
test in Md. You can't "stand your ground"

My truck windows were open, and you have no idea whether I had the
ability to retreat safely. In any event, he was arrested, tried,
convicted and sentenced to 20 years. His girlfriend copped a plea and
got a much lesser sentence, but I don't recall what it was. His other
partner was also sent to the slammer.

As for Maryland, I've been told by law enforcement officials and an
assistant prosecutor that if someone forces their way into the house at
night and I shoot the perp, they are unlikely to prosecute.

THE CROWBAR ATTACK WASN'T PART OF THE ORIGINAL STORY. IF HE WAS IN HIS
TRUCK, COULDN'T HE HAVE SIMPLY DRIVEN OUT OF HARM'S WAY?

Not to worry. It will be proven by those who matter.

Take some names. You might need them. Snerk.

If a man comes chases me because I'm walking at night and accosts me, he
certainly would be in for a fight!

So is the girlfriend lying?

She says Martin confronted Zimmerman

No she didn't. That's a lie.

OK what do you think she said

When Martin was cornered by a gun wielding assailant he asked him "Why
are you following me"? I'd have asked the same thing. She never, ever
said that Martin confronted Zimmerman. It's the other way around.
