    Many women who are raped never call the police does that mean they were not or are not afraid of the rapist?

    According to the law if you are in fear of your life it does.

    If they start following you in a threatening manner at night you can.

    Who was managing the maniac following kids around his neighborhood? It's a shame that somebody didn't step up and confront him or at least call the police. Thankfully, Democrat and GOP legislators are reviewing neighborhood watch policies in Florida.

    "Felony assault" and now just "assault". At least your claims are getting more realistic.

    One thing we do know is that evidence submitted by a defense team isn't necessarily valid just because they get an acquittal.

    Zimmerman's lawyer (O'Mara) bailed on him because he won't pay him. Instead, Zimmerman was giving his wife over $4,000 per month. I think that anyone who chooses to represent Zimmerman in the future should be aware that he might not pay them no matter how much money he receives from his "defense fund."

    Going by the video, O'Mara is clearly disgusted his former client, George Zimmerman. Let's face it, we all knew the deadbeat Zimmerman, who had to get his neighbor to feed him and buy his suit, wouldn't pay his legal fees.

    If a clown aggressively followed my kid around at night, I'd make him sorry.

    No, no, and no.

    The shame wrongly felt by women after a rape is a component that does not factor here.
    You cannot attack people because you are paranoid.

    Fact remains many don't report it, does it mean they are not afraid of the rapist.

    I didn't say paranoid, I said fear of.

    A woman being chased by a potential rapist will call the police.

    Paranoia / ˌ p ær ə ˈ n ɔɪ ə / (adjective: paranoid / ˈ p æ r ə n ɔɪ d /) is a thought process believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs, or beliefs of conspiracy

    TMs actions were irrational... stoked by fear.

    You cannot attack people because you are afraid.

    Well since I am not a woman that has ever been chased by a rapist I can't say what she will or will not do.

    Really, then what is the premise of SYG laws. Do you have to wait until you are physically attacked before you can SYG?

    You have to have reasonable fear. NW trying to see where you have run off to is not reasonable. A stated intent to do harm, or chasing with a weapon in hand, or unlawful entry to your home... etc. You seem to believe you can just shoot people if you are paranoid. You cannot.

    Again what is the bases for SYG laws? Now I could be wrong, but according to SYG laws which FL has Trayvon didn't have to run away in fear of an unknown armed grown man following him in the night. Now if I am wrong please point out how so.

    Reasonable fear for your life. There was nothing about the neighborhood watch captain trying to tell the police which direction a suspicious person went which rises to the level of reasonable fear.

    And he ended up dead b/c he chose to stay on his phone w/the girl instead of calling 911, if he was in fear of his life. He ended up dead b/c he chose not to shout out to Z, asking him why he was following him and that his dad lived there...... you know, a few words of communication can solve a misunderstanding or problem......

    I don't give a rat's ass about the races of the people - it's sheer LUNACY to go stalking each other in the middle of a dark night, not knowing who the other is, if they're ARMED or not.... that is STUPID.

    And no one said a word about blacks need to be controlled. Quit playing the race card.... after awhile it gets downright boring.....

    T was a punk who attacked a stranger b/c T thought he was some sort of 'bad-ass' *******. He 'got dead' for his trouble. The fact that he's now 'maggot-meat' isn't even interesting. What is really interesting is the 'T-Boners' jumping back on the rotting carcass of the long since dead horse screaming their heads off trying to get the poor thing to 'giddy-up'. It's hilarious. It's over. Move on to another soon to be dead horse. How about the guy with no legs who murdered his girl friend?

    Well, I'll tell you what she would do. For starters, if she had a cell phone on her, she would immediately call 911 and then she would scream. Real loud and keep screaming....

    Screaming, a lot of noise is the best prevention of being chased down and raped. Wake up the whole neighborhood. Those scummy little cockroaches don't like being the center of attention.

    How do you know that Trayvon didn't have reasonable fear for his life, oh btw isn't he dead. So that means you take Zimmerman's word at face value, how do you know that all he was doing is trying to tell the police where Trayvon went. Come to think of it what direction did he tell them he went. Wait come to think of it, I thought he was looking for an address to give them. What address did he give them? Also were you ever in that situation as a young 17yr old?

    That sounds good, but we know that doesn't always happen. Again unless you have been in that situation its easy to say what you would do, but until it happens you don't know what you would do.

    Because of the circumstances. It was not a reasonable presumption... and this is why Jeantel did not call the cops. She didn't want to get TM in trouble... if he was afraid, she would have called someone. If he planned on giving him a "ass whoop", she would not.


    I no longer care to discuss the case. Logic and justice are concepts you only grasp when the result is desirable to you. It is a waste of time. The trial is over. GZ was rightfully found not-guilty. He should never have been arrested. The guys fired for knowing that should probably sue.

    What was he afraid of getting in trouble of? Walking to the store.


    Good because I have yet to see you post the definition of what FL's SYG law is. Also Roy Bryant and JW Milam were found not-guilty also, I guess they should have never been arrested either.
