I am not from US nor do I even own a gun, but I dont see any cowardice in shooting an attacker. If you are stupid enough to assault someone, then its just natural selection I say. Real men are interested in ending the threat, not getting into fights. Your posts sound like pathetic chest thumping..
A man, unless he's old or crippled, should be able to handle himself against one other person with out a gun. It's pure cowardice that in a 1 on 1, a man has to shoot another when that other hasn't brandished a weapon.
It is what it is...Yes a man should be able to thump his chest when the time arises. Sorry this world has become so girly that MEN can't fight anymore.
What part of "presumption" do you not understand?

I really do not know how anyone can look at themselves and consider themselves men...if you can handle yourself in a fight then please for god sake...stay away from manly events. These type of events attract men who love a good scrap every now and then. If getting a bruise is considered a life and death situation, then stay over there with your guns and let the real men play..
Zimmerman is guilty no doubt but in the end it is the courts who will have a say. Let us hope they get it rights and throw his cowardly ass in jail...tell you one thing..he will no longer be a virgin..and won't have his gun to protect his girly ass...
Bunch of girly men live in America..but come north for some good times..but beware you may get yourself into a fight..which we consider part of the fun..
Did I say Zimmerman was charged with assault?
It was an attempt to clarify some fine legal distinctions that you are unwilling to see, just as you refuse to see that the Stand Your Ground Law explicitly does not apply to this case.
That's an easy question to answer. Martin is dead, so his need for "immunization against prosecution" is irrelevant. You obviously have no clue as to what the "stand your ground law" is about.
I agree with that too. What you don't understand is that "stand your ground" is only a means of avoiding a criminal charge. In other words: If the court had decided that George's actions were in compliance with Florida's "stand your ground" law, he wouldn't have been arrested, and charged with murder.
Nice deflections, can't answer the question I guess

Many here have no idea what a thug is, hence they call a child who got in petty troubles at school and took a picture shooting the bird a thug.
If Trayvon was a thug, he would have walked up to George's car and pulled his ass out!
Though on top of that if TM was a thug he would have had his own gun.
George killed a kid, and is so soft, that kid seemed like a thug too him.
Horse crap! You are only continuing to stir the already "muddy waters", in an attempt to hide your, more than obvious, racial bias.

I have no interest in this case, but I am interested in self defense, so I have a couple of things to say about your foolishness.
First, your statements are ridiculous. Obviously you have never been physically threatened by someone who could literally break you in half with his bare hands. If and when you are threatened by someone twice your weight, someone who could crush your skull in one hand, you will wish you had a weapon as that person pounds your skull into the pavement and causes severe brain damage. Some physical inequalities in combat can just not be overcome through physical means alone. Some men (and women) ARE WEAPONS without using an actual weapon.
There is a reason there are weight divisions in MMA leagues; its because all men are NOT created equal in terms of fighting and physical prowess. It would be idiotic to place a 5'10" 160 lbs man against a 6'10" 250 lbs man because there is very little the smaller guy can do to harm the larger opponent. There are some larger men out there who can take a punch to the nose, laugh about it, and then throw you across the room.
So basically what you are implying is that in order for men to not be "girly men" or "cowards", all men must devote their lives to personal defense, physical fitness, and the fighting arts so that one day they don't have to draw a weapon to defend themselves against a superior enemy. This is stupid, and a society that functions on such a principle would be a society dominated by the physically biggest and strongest.
Personally I have devoted a large portion of my life to being physically capable of defending myself if necessary, and yet there are still men out there who could tear me limb from limb if they were so inclined. I carry a firearm, I am not a coward, but I'm also not so stupid to think that the result of all fights is just a simple "roughing up" of one of the combatants. I've seen a man beat into a coma. I've seen a man's neck broken by someone twice his size. And don't even get me started on gangs of "unarmed" men.
When that day finally comes, when you are attacked by a physically superior enemy, and you are brought within inches of your death by a supposedly unarmed person, you will see the stupidity of your words. Honestly you seem like one of those guys in the typical self defense class, who thinks that with just a couple of simple moves he can cripple a much larger man, thus ending the threat. It just doesn't work that way.edit on 11-12-2012 by StrangeOldBrew because: (no reason given)
Yeah, i'm sorry but I've never met a man (and I've done quite a bit of traveling) that I would give the benefit of the doubt that he can whip the God! Never met a man that could snap me in half or bash my head to the point he would kill me. And I'm not a huge chap either, 6'3", 180 to 190lbs.
Have been in plenty of fights, as a grown man I can not say I've "lost" a one on one fight. The best someone can do is fight to a draw with me. See I have something called HEART. The pit bull isn't the biggest baddest dog, it has heart, that's why it kicks other, bigger dogs ass.
At my first duty station they thought I couldn't fight because of my slight build and quite demeanor until we got into a couple of brawls. Even though I was the youngest guy in the clique, my name from then on was Big Daddy for the way I spank other grown men.
I won't hesitate to fight more than one person either, though I can admit two guys got the best of me in like '06. But that was only because I had my leather coat on and damn near caught a heat stroke LOL. Before the heat hit me I destroyed one and was on the way to the other.
Though, I'm not too often tested, I have the look of death in my eyes. While you all shake and quake at Trayvon......I laugh because I've been that THUG you think he was. It's why I call TM a lil boy.
With all this said, I still have guns, blades, items I make to strangle individuals and other things. Just in case I run into a case where I do need to use a tool. Though the days of thuggin are mostly behind me...

This is hilarious, as well. Come north, you say? Where people leave their doors unlocked? If all you get in fights are a couple of bruises, then you're not really fighting for your life, are you?
Here in America, you can be walking down the street and find yourself assaulted by a group of teenagers who then proceed to bloody your face and break your limbs for no reason at all. Here in America, you can be attacked by a 300 pound black man with only 10% body fat, a man who was literally bred for power and strength and honed his skills in prison where violence is the only way of life. Here in America...you get the idea. So go ahead, tell people not to carry firearms, when the truth is that you live in one of the most peaceful, safest places to live on the planet, and that it is actually you who is soft.
So, come south with that BS manly man attitude, and see how quickly you are put in your place by someone who could pick you up by your skinny little ankles and use your body like an axe to tree.edit on 11-12-2012 by StrangeOldBrew because: grammar

Nope! My answer was "spot on". The above comment is the only deflection. I can understand your confusion though.

Though I never called Martin a thug, that picture certainly shows that he wanted to look like one.
Though on top of that if TM was a thug he would have had his own gun.
Nah, I've met lots of thugs that don't carry guns. Hell, I once met one that was only carrying an iced tea, and a bag of candy, that he had just stolen. I'm not sure of what kind of iced tea or candy it was, though.
George killed a kid, and is so soft, that kid seemed like a thug too him.
That's an inaccurate statement, so I shall gladly correct it for you:
George killed a kid because, as the evidence seems to indicate, that kid was acting like a thug by slamming George's head onto a concrete sidewalk.
See ya,

Oh, and I'm sorry if I get confused about who said what. That's what happens when you respond to points I'm making to others!
