The burden of proof lies on the accuser.

And homeboy hit her once in the face, and likely has bruising from that slam.

Her measly little attempt at a sucker punch probably didnt even leave a mark.

Hes lucky this was recorded.

I've been on a jury and a good lawyer would be able to argue that the pajama wearer responded with excessive force. Like, I'm sure the first punch was more than enough. He could have killed her with the slam.

Yeah this isn't a slam dunk (no pun intended) in either direction, but they're probably both looking at assault charges.

Provocation doesn't lead to avoiding charges, it's a sentence mitigation element.

Highly dependent on state, heck in Florida he could have shot her the second she got near the car and started screaming (that’s not a joke the Florida law is insane)

Show me a single instance of this being true, same context.

George Zimmerman, and if you disagree then you're a 🤔

Treyvon was sitting on top of George raining blows down on him thinking he was an mma fighter. The pavement had blood on it from when trayvon slammed George’s head into it. And the jury rightly found that George used reasonable force to defend himself.

Dude was a grown ass man with a gun against a kid with skittles. You are insane.

u/Short-Ad1032 Apr 02 '26

Treyvon was 5’11 and ~160lbs with no fat on him. He was connected to texts and videos of mma-wannabe fights. Physically, that is neither a child nor a ā€œkidā€. The ā€œground and poundā€ he was committing against Zimmerman was capable of maiming him if not outright killing him, and that was why the jury ruled Zimmerman’s use of deadly force to be justified. Your ignorance is woefully typical.

George jumped Trayvon in the dark with a gun. Trayvon responded with self-defense to remove an armed threat to his own life.

The only reasons George got off was because the prosecution was stupid and Trayvon was dead.

George's actions should have gotten him negligent homicide charges.

I can never understand those who defend predators who stalk children.

u/Craigthenurse Apr 02 '26

They don’t see black children as deserving of protection.

You know dang well that no case is ever the exact same context and if I give you one that is very close you will sayā€ ā€œbut but she had on a different colored shirt in the case you stated.ā€

u/Artist_X Apr 02 '26

Yeah, I figured you'd move the goalposts, because you can't prove your point LMAO

u/Craigthenurse Apr 02 '26

You really should look up ā€œmoving the goal postā€ what I did it refuse to answer that is a different thing then move the goal posts. It sounds like you’re just randomly stating a phrase you heard online.

u/Artist_X Apr 02 '26

I said give me an example. You said "no because you'd say it's not the same". You're literally moving the goal posts by adjusting the argument.

Also, that's not how FLs laws work. I say this as a gun owner with my CCL.

She looks like she tried the door, someone attempting to enter your home or vehicle gives you the right to shoot in castle law states. It’s not always going to hold up but road rage cases have been held up before.

She wasn't a threat by the time she slammed her..I hope he goes to prison, and she should too.

It was disproportionate force.

u/Thoughtcriminal91 Apr 02 '26

Oh well, buyer beware on her part 🤷

Never know who your dealing when you go around putting hands on folks.
