I think the Stand Your Ground law is the larger problem than the parties involved. This type of incident was going to happen sooner or later. In my opinion.
While I entirely agree that the SYG law is problematic, it really bothers me how many people act like just because they don't like the SYG law, they can throw it out the window and prosecute Zimmerman as if the SYG law wasn't in place at the time the incident went down. Like it or not, it was, Zimmerman was either innocent or guilty under the SYG law and if you want to change the SYG law down the road, feel free, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with this particular case.
