humor me
NO!
well ok i guess. ive already stated i dont think "stand your ground" really works here for Zimmerman at all. he didnt feel threatened before confronting Martin so there was no obligation/choice to retreat. then (if his story is to be believed he was attacked and Martin was on top of him.
that kinda takes away any choice he had to flee so he was left with two options 1. be killed (iho) or 2. shoot his attacker. no reason to have "stand your ground" here imo
also im not quite sure if "stand your ground" is a good idea anyway. the way self defense works is you have to try to flee 1st and i like that aspect. without it you have a bunch of morons "standing their ground" and people die when it could have been avoided.
tho with self defense only it can be very hard to prove you had no other option and could end up in jail just because you cant prove you had no other option. hindsight can be a b!tch with this one.
in the end both have pros and cons im not sure if im for or against "stand your ground" at the moment
