CT, it's not 'assault' if it was Trayvon acting in self-defence, which seems to have been the case. Even if Trayvon jumped Zimmerman, HE WAS BEING STALKED - so such an action could reasonably be construed as defensive.
It's not personal. It's just war.
Exactly. Z's injuries are substantive proof of nothing.
As to the alleged eye-witness, we've already heard one witness state that their statements to police were changed from what they said they heard and saw.

But no... we are subjected to the same old B.S.
"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies"
And what, in your estimation, are the "real issues"?

That puzzled me, too.

When someone is following you, RUN, & dive over fences & stuff- most stupid folk won't be able to keep up or shoot straight.
If you CONFRONT an as***le. be prepared for the lazy response (I.E., getting shot).
DO NOT be where the moron is. DO NOT BE in the vector of the muzzle. If you cannot do one of these two things, you can die.
Man, this world is reverting, again.

Hello,
While this is certainly an option for many people, it isn't for me. My asthma means that I can run for less than 30 seconds before hitting serious trouble, and then if someone catches up with me, I'm done for.
My own technique is to plod away from threats while avoiding any behavior that might provoke an attack- while being ready to defend myself.
Today's incident was not people, but a dog.
On my daily 2 mile walk to work, a free-roaming bulldog ran towards me and barked frothily. Closed to within six feet.
I ignored him and plodded on at a steady pace. Never did more than glance his way. Eventually he satisfied himself about defending his adopted territory or sphere of influence and went away. Never bit me, which is nice, because a man who walks to work does not need holes in his legs.
I was prepared to defend against the dog if necessary, but keeping my cool made sure it wasn't necessary.
I wish all people were as easy to deal with as dogs.

Never forget what this man is. You keep forgiving him his trespasses and speak to him as though he is a reasonable human being. You keep forgetting the things he's advocated. If you respond to this man again, you are being foolish.

I had a strikingly similar situation once, dealt with it similarly ('cept I told the dog I'd kill it), and walked away too.
No need for violence in most cases.

Police Chief loses "no confidence" vote by city officials.
Quote:
In a tense meeting Wednesday that highlighted growing tensions over the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager, local officials in Sanford, Fla., passed a vote of no confidence in the police chief as protests spread north to New York City, where the slain youth’s parents joined a Manhattan march demanding the killer’s arrest.
The no-confidence measure passed 3 to 2 after more than an hour of debate, and though it was not binding, the outcome and the public groans and applause that punctuated the debate underscored the anger pulsing through the Orlando suburb nearly a month after 17-year-old Trayvon Martin’s death on Feb. 26. Most of that anger is focused on the fact that the confessed shooter, 28-year-old George Zimmerman, who has been described as both Latino and white, has not been arrested.
Dozens of Sanford residents gathered in the Sanford City Hall, where City Commissioner Mark McCarty set the tone for the meeting by noting that he had called for Police Chief Bill Lee’s ouster 10 days earlier in a meeting with the city manager, Norton N. Bonaparte Jr.
“I take no pleasure in publicly flogging our police chief. He’s a good man,” McCarty said.
But McCarty said questions surrounding the case, and the negative publicity cast upon the city since the killing, were largely the result of mishandling of the investigation. The questions, he said, include whether police were too quick to accept Zimmerman’s claim that he fired in self-defense, despite the fact that Martin was unarmed and that witnesses described hearing someone wailing for help before a gunshot rang out.
A lawyer representing Martin's family, Benjamin Crump, has said that the teenager was on a cellphone with his girlfriend and expressed concern that he was being followed by a strange man in the seconds before he was shot. And two women who live near the shooting scene have said that Martin was lying face-down, with Zimmerman looming over him, after he was shot.
“If it was self-defense, why was he [Zimmerman] on Trayvon’s back?” one of the witnesses, Mary Cutcher, told CNN in an interview.

You did this just right. Most people simply don't realize how a dog's brain works. If it's a strange dog, not known to you, DO NOT make eye contact. Looking a dog in the eye is seen by the dog as a "challenge" - you're challenging its territory or its dominance, or trying to assert your own. DO NOT show your teeth, even in a smile. Think about it: how does a dog threaten? It shows its teeth. A strange dog sees a show of teeth as you threatening the dog, and may very well act out in self defense at such behavior.
When I encounter strange dogs, even dogs behaving aggressively, I cast my eyes down and sit on the ground, head down. The dog realizes almost instantly that I'm no threat, and at that point its natural curiosity kicks in, and if I'm not foe, I must be friend, or at least someone worth checking out and getting close to.

I just want to know - have we finally, FINALLY gotten past the idea that if you are armed and you are stalking someone that you can't claim self-defense?

I was not in a good mood. It realized that I was not to be fracked with.
Intent is important when dealing with animals.
