So this board is basically dead and I want to try reviving it a bit! So what do you think about the decision in the Trayvon Martin case? I think it is horrible. Technically the right call was made by the jurors, but that's because the law itself is an abomination. Shouldn't we just be able to use our own judgement over what self defense is, rather than having a law complicate things? Ever since this law was put in place, claims of self defense have more than tripled. This law simply gives murderers a way out of jail, because the victim has no way of defening him or herself. I'm sure you all have read a lot about this lately, and it's nothing new to you, so I want your perspectives.
To me, Zimmerman was larger than Trayvon and was supposedly an aspiring cop. He should have had enough basic strength and ability to defend himself to get Trayvon off of him and get away. Beyond that, Zimmerman should never have been stalking him in the first place.
