I think Ran's argument is that its okay to shoot someone who punched you once. I don't know how relevant that is to self defense.

He clearly didn't say that. He says it's ok to shoot someone if you feel you are in danger of great bodily harm, in line with self-defense laws. That can come from a single punch or not, it's you who is making it seem like he wants to shoot anyone who gives him a slap.


So what am I supposed to do? Take the punch and do nothing about it? The entire point of having a gun is to protect yourself.

If someone punches me, and I have a weapon on me to protect myself, you bet I'm going to use it.


Clearly he didn't say that.

Sure, why not? If he's going to continue to beat on me, what is his intent at this point? I'm already on the ground, and out of the fight. If you continue at me, then I believe I have the right to use lethal force to protect myself.


Stop picking apart posts without context. A single punch, if the threat that he will continue fighting remains, can be enough for self-defense laws. He clearly doesn't mean a case where the guy punches him and walks away, and he shoots him in the back after getting up. This is a really dumb discussion and completelly off-topic.


I quoted his complete posting, there is nothing to pick apart. That was the whole posting.


You quoted me, and two lines of text from him. That's not the whole posting. It's an ongoing conversation that needs multiple posts to make sense of. He later explained what he means with "punching".

Why are they going into so much detail about where you have to stand to see the address, I missed the last 20 mins or so, how is this relevant?

Yeah i quoted you, and a complete posting of him where he said what you said was "clearly never said". I didn't cherrypick his post, that quote was his entire posting. He clarified one post(edit: maybe two or smth) later after i quoted you, so i don't get what you're trying to tell me here. The two lines of text are a complete posting of him.

I don't really think there is any relevance, hes just kinda stalling or trying to find something. Maybe its a tactic to get the witness off their guard by having them answer a ton of meaningless questions.

The State spent a lot of time examining a witness who really didn't have that much to say.

God, that objection micro.

Hearsay!

Sustained.
After all this time, I still haven't figured out the correlation between sexual orientation and beating an unprepared opponent. Are homosexuals the next koreans? Many players seem to think it's an unfair advantage. - pandaburn

Most likely in preparation for GZ's statement that he was going various places to try to get an address for the police.

he established that she couldnt exclude that trayvon made certain statements during the fight. he is now establishing that its a dangerous neighborhood and they took steps to protect the neighborhood. now he is going through the reason why zimmerman didnt know where he was. etc.

If there's one things that I feel is very diferent from "TV show courtroom" is how the lawyers asks questions in a specific stand, only aproaching the witness when he has to show her something. In TV they ussually just stand up behind the table and move around kinda randomly. It really kills the "slamming their hands, screaming questions to the witness to force a reaction" effect.

you have to ask permission to approach the witness usually.

Can you explain what the prosecutions' goals are? Do they have to prove that the shooting was premeditated? Or that Zimmerman aggressed first? What is the crux?
