Well, I agree it was bad judgement on Zimmerman's part to follow Martin, but, strictly speaking, that is not an illegal act. The real issue IS precisely the fact that there was an altercation, that Martin appears to have had the upper hand (good for him), and that Z. felt he was in danger. Am I missing something here?
The "Stand Your Ground" law in Florida, which is fucked up to begin with, allows you to shoot somebody who has broken into your house. It was never intended to provide legal cover for stalking somebody as was the case here.
