Nope. Zimmerman didn't invoke stand your ground, he used traditional self-defense law, just as he would have in any state. Also, SYG wasn't struck down by the Miami judge, what was struck down was a new law that went into effect on July 1st that changed the burden of proof in pre-trial hearings to the prosecution. The Florida Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that that burden was on the defendant to prove self-defense in the pre-trial hearing, the new law stated that the prosecution must disprove that contention. Our SYG law is still in effect, in exactly the same way it was prior to July 1st, 2017.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Ah, I remember this. This was sort of the beginning of the recent trend of summary executions of black people which have us where we are now.

So laying on the ground with a black man on top of you and shooting him is just self defence. Got it.

Maybe, I wasn't on the jury, but that's the defense he used. He waived his right to a SYG pretrial hearing and his attorneys didn't raise it at trial. So, no SYG, just traditional self-defense.

Or is it that there are too many grumpy misogynists whose faux chivalry involves calling women the "fairer sex"?

Fuck off. I took/take part in the fun social part of this site, unlike you. While it's true I do make this site hell for liars and their ilk, I contribute to its fun side by participating in the social aspect. Unlike you, who just comes here to argue minutiae all day long in never ending hole-digging episodes. :fp:

Don't be so bloody sexist. Shame on you, forty two. If you call women the fairer sex, it confuses the queers.

Ain't no such thing as fair sex. It's all unfair. And rapey.

I know, I'm the one who drove all the women off the site by using terms like "fairer sex." It wasn't the people who started posting regularly right before many women started leaving the site.
