That's an interesting point that I've been saying. I have no issues with the verdict: ultimately, he felt he needed to use his piece. That doesn't absolve him from inciting a fight. Whether or not he is racist I do not know. He should get something for starting shit and getting himself jammed up, which resulted in his use of deadly force. That said, I think we really need to look at Florida laws. I live here, and actually support stand your ground. I think that his actions prior to Martins death should have been accounted for in this trial.
