Yeah, Florida seems to be the place to avoid confrontations.
That old guy fucked up his whole case by brandishing the gun before the physical altercation. Had he not done that, he would have walked.
So basically as long as your intended target doesn't know you are strapped, you can start shit, lose, and claim self defense. Wild shit.
another thing too...even tho those 2 men had prior beef in that 1st link them meeting up that fateful day @ the carwash seemed to be coincidental as opposed to the old man heading straight to that guy w/ his gun on him looking for a confrontation...and as you said him brandishing his weapon was the cherry on top...I see them finding this fat fuck zimmerman guilty for similar reasons...I hope they get a verdict today
