No it doesn't. Somebody following you by itself does not give you the right to physically attack them. Try going to court on a battery charge and explaining to the judge your reason for hitting somebody is because they were following you. You will lose.

What you're talking about is standard self defense. In Florida self defense is VERY different. All Trayvon would of had to have done was prove he had a reasonable fear of George Zimmerman.

Also to simply describe what Zimmerman was doing as "following him" is absurd. It was dark out, raining, Trayvon was on his way home, he noticed some person he didn't know staring at him from a car. Trayvon runs away only to see the person who was watching him from his car has no gotten out of the car and is now chasing him. We also know from the girls testimony that Trayvon had a fear that Zimmerman was possibly a rapist.

So taking all of that into consideration, yes Trayvon Martin would of had the right to stand his ground in Florida. Though I doubt it would have taken nearly two months just for police to arrest or charge him.

High yellow nicca from Alabama that's married to a white woman. Barkley probably is a direct descendant of house niccas. He can't help himself, it's in his blood.

Hate to break it to you but he's pretty much right.

Is Zimmerman a racist piece of shyt? YES.

But its not illegal to follow somebody. It doesn't give Trayvon the right to run up and punch him in the face, no matter how creepy the dude is. (if that's what really happened, but its the ONLY story we have)

I don't agree with the verdict because I don't see how he could reasonably believe his life was in danger. He was just getting his ass kicked. But that's a subjective issue. A jury full of women obviously thought different.
Yes it is...it is actually very illegal to follow someone, especially in the case of what Zimmerman did

It's called stalking or criminal harassment and it varies from state to state but just about every state has a law against it
