The article concludes with this sentence about Trayvon’s choice to turn and confront Zimmerman.<br /><br />“That doesn't leave someone being followed through their neighborhood many options other than fighting back”.<br /><br />So much for “duty to retreat”.<br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07669679191229234850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412826294594900386.post-32954406252462251142013-07-19T16:49:28.314-05:002013-07-19T16:49:28.314-05:00I heard Bob Beckel state that if (or just because)...I heard Bob Beckel state that if (or just because) Trayvon was banging George’s head on the concrete it was not sufficient cause for George to think his life was threatened and use deadly force. As Wayne suggest the arguments are getting silly. <br /><br />This is an issue, of course, because it is connected to the Zimmerman/Martin case which is racially toxic at this point. <br /><br />Not to be insensitive to the seriousness of the event, but the case is not, and never was, worthy of national media coverage, presidential attention, or special attention by the DOJ. A pox on all their houses.<br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07669679191229234850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412826294594900386.post-55464922097641794872013-07-19T10:56:23.445-05:002013-07-19T10:56:23.445-05:00WRT number 2 above:

United States (1921) (256 U.S. 335, 343 (16 May 1921)), a case that upheld the "no duty to retreat" maxim, that "detached reflection cannot be demanded in the presence of an uplifted knife".[4]Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068839756237461498noreply@blogger.com
