That is just utterly ridiculous. Getting out of the car makes no difference to the right to self defense.
Even "confrontation" makes no difference. The only thing that would negate the self-defense plea is if Zimmerman actually physically attacked Martin and then progressed from fighting to shooting.
And there is absolutely no evidence nor testimony that he did so.

It would be ever so refreshing if people made the slightest effort to understand the law before they started blathering about it.
I know, too much to ask.

Indeed, we have testimony that Martin was almost home when he decided to go back and attack Zimmerman.

"Except Martin's DNA was not on the holster or the gun."
That was covered in the trial. Even under ideal conditions DNA doesn't stick 100% of the time, and it was raining.

"Stand your ground" has nothing to do with this case. It's a pure case of self-defense.

"Within three generations we could weed virtually all aggressive genes out of the gene pool."
And within four generations the few aggressive ones left would rule the rest with an iron fist.

The office "power user" who convinces management that he should be able to manage his department's IT infrastructure by himself because "he's more efficient than those guys in tech support".
The highly connected programming manager who recommended a new applications platform because "it'll look good on my resume".
The large systems salesman who plays golf with the chairman of the board.

Orin Kerr has the usual detailed and insightful analysis of the case here (long, worth reading):

tl;dr - Don't talk to the police.

With all the other challenges of putting a viable human colony on Mars, it seems like perchlorates in the soil are small beans indeed.

Ah, so you think men are all objects too? We can only respond in the ways your sexist stereotypes dictate?

Who is treating them as objects? Could it be the ones who are using them as pawns to score cheap political points?
Because after all, nothing says "you're a real person" more than acting offended by the fact that *some* women can make money by being attractive and pleasant.

I tell you what, when the UN converts all its restaurants and cafeterias to raise and serve insects then get back to us.

Blah blah blah fail bullshit.
Never ever ever talk to to police. Not ever.

It's hard enough to give a development project your full attention while you're at home, much less "hopping from hostel to hostel" or leeching internet connections in cafes.

...as far as I can remember. :p

If you want peace, then prepare for war.
