HOWEVER He actually sought out the confrontation. If you're that fearful, man, don't go following people with a gun in your hand. The kid was minding his own business and talking to a girl on his cell phone. He begged for his life. What kind of mind still feels threatened by a teenager who's saying don't shoot man, don't shoot? Possibly from the ground? The Stand Your Ground law may be ok legislation -- undecided still -- but this was clearly not the place to apply it and yes, there *should* be a civil rights investigation in Sanford because even worse than the murder is the fact that the Sanford police were like oh well shit happens.
