"Self Defense"

If you hit me i hit you back is the common misunderstood definition of self defense. Self defense isn't doing something to someone because they do something to you but it's using reasonable force to get away from someone. If someone hits you and walk away and you go and hit them that's not self defense, but if they are on top of  you beating you and you do what you have to do to get away that's self defense. If someone have a gun to your head then they walk away from the situation and you go behind them and shoot them NOT SELF DEFENSE. If you cause the situation to go to another level it's not self defense. A common argument of self defense is the TRAVON MARTIN CASE ! Many people say Travon was defending him self because he didn't have a weapon on Zimmerman was bigger truth be told Travon Martin was 6'0 tall and 160 lbs. Zimmerman was technically 2 feet shorter than Travon. So it's possible Zimmerman was the one defending him self. The media only showed pictures as Travon when he was a child and Zimmerman years ago as we all know people change dramatically over the years. So only god knows the self defense in that case but self defense is something we all should learn details and justification on.

  2. True about Travon being 2ft taller but Zimmerman was following Travon because he thought he was gone harm someone in the neighborhood. Travon didn't provoke him to shoot him.

  5. yeah it does but no one takes the time to get all the facts of the case they just look at the race and the old pictures of Travon when he was younger and make opinions instead of looking at the facts first.

  6. Thanks for introducing such a controversial topic into the mix.There are two persons who really know what happened that evening and one of them is no longer around. Regardless of the outcome, I feel that one day, somehow, the truth will be revealed.
