Actually David did go looking for Goliath. Twice a day for 40 days, Goliath, the champion of the Philistines challenged the Israelites to send out a champion of their own to decide the outcome of their war in single combat, but Saul and all the Israelites are afraid to face him. David hears that Saul has promised to reward any man who defeats Goliath, and accepts the challenge - basically he was a paid bounty hunter.
My point is that SYG played no part at all in the events.Of course not - and this doesn’t contradict GracePool’s point does it?
Retreat is an option - until it becomes not viable -then it is not an option.
Then self defence becomes an option.
This case had nothing to do with SYG. It wasn’t used as a defense.
Or he could have called the police and followed their advice.
David was the defense, Goliath was the prosecution.
This case was not about race in the trial. The judge ruled the term profiling could be used by the prosecution but not racial profiling.
It also could have been avoided if Martin had just gone home or talked to Zimmerman like a normal human being rather than attacking him. Or if the police would have arrive a minute earlier or one of the locals would have intervened. Or if TM wouldn’t have gotten kicked out of school. You can go back endlessly to find points in time that would have changed the outcome.
Of course, if the politicians had allowed the local police to do their job, this would never have gone to court.
Yep. If he had got his butt in the house like a good black boy none of this would have happened. Never mind he was a U.S. citizen with rights to be out wherever he wanted at 7 pm.
B.S. lead detective wanted to charge manslaughter from the start.
You have got to be kidding me.
It’s not my analogy…it was the one used by O’Mara during the post-verdict interview. Referencing that the Defense was out spent & “outgunned” by the State.
I am sorry to hear that you were beat up as such; that shouldn’t happen to anyone.
