@spendius,
But, this happens to be true...
Zimmerman would have stopped following him, and menacing him, if Martin had pulled out a gun...Zimmerman, the coward, would have fled.
Martin had to use his fist because he didn't have a gun. He was inadequately equipped to Stand His Ground.
For their own self-protection, all blacks, including black minors, should be fully armed at all times...there is no way of knowing when they might be profiled and stalked by a psychologically unstable armed vigilante, and they should be equally armed.
White children aren't being subjected to similar racial profiling.
