The other irony here is that while stand your ground does NOT apply to Zimmerman, it WOULD have protected Martin.
Zimmerman's claim is that Martin was on top of him and assaulting him. At this point he CANNOT retreat, even if he wants to, so "stand your ground" is completely irrelevant.
Martin; however, if he would have killed Zimmerman, could have used stand your ground as a defense if he was able to convince people that Zimmerman's "pursuit" of him put him in fear of his life.
It's funny that all the Martin defenders blame stand your ground because "OMG THE COPS EVEN SAID THAT WAS WHY THEY DIDNT ARREST HIM" yet these are the same police they blast all day long as corrupt, incompetent, and racist.
