Now there is only one person who can tell the tale further. Because the other one is dead.

For me after being told to stand down stand your ground went out the window. No where does zippy say he was leaving the scene when Trevon attacked him right?


So the argument for justifiable stand your ground now includes causing a fight when armed with an unarmed person is OK? Because being armed does give a sense of power over the unarmed.

This isn't a case of stand your ground. It's a case of self defense.

They are not the same.
