Flour worse then murder

We live in a country where it is a more serious crime to throw flour on a rich woman, than it is to murder a young black child in cold blood.
The woman who threw a small amount of flour on Kim Kardashin, has been placed into custody. George Zimmerman the racist white-hispanic who shot a black child to death, has not yet been arrested.
Why is flour a more serious crime in the USA then murder in cold blood

are you familiar with the Florida stand your ground laws?
<<<1) A person who uses force as permitted in s. 776.012, s. 776.013, or s. 776.031 is justified in using such force and is immune from criminal prosecution and civil action for the use of such force, unless the person against whom force was used is a law enforcement officer, as defined in s. 943.10(14), who was acting in the performance of his or her official duties and the officer identified himself or herself in accordance with any applicable law or the person using force knew or reasonably should have known that the person was a law enforcement officer. As used in this subsection, the term “criminal prosecution” includes arresting, detaining in custody, and charging or prosecuting the defendant.>>>
also, while it's likely Zimmerman's actions lead to the escalation of the incident (he sounds like some paranoid want-to-be cop), from the actual evidence, it doesn't seem like he did anything illegal (at least that is provable in a court of law). Remember, the burden rests on the state, and it's high (beyond a reasonable doubt)

1) he followed someone he thought was suspicious. And regardless of what created such suspicion, following someone isn't illegal
2) I'm unfamiliar with anything in the law that would actually support such a position (feel free to cite the relevant language, though)*
* that following someone forfeits the protection against prosecution

1) on what basis are you claiming it's felony stalking? Stalking usually involves a clear pattern of behavior, which one incident wouldn't establish
2) asking someone questions isn't illegal and there is no evidence that Zimmerman tried to illegal detain him
3) he may very well be a racist, but such isn't against the law, and really has no bearing on what can be legally established in a court of law

I'm not sure of all the ins and outs of this case. But it seems to me that there is no evidence that the kid did any physical harm to him. Therefore this guy should be charged.
Regardless of the law in Florida, this is just wrong. The dude killed an unarmed kid. This wasn't on his property, he wasn't protecting his family.

eye witness accounts place the kid on top of him and beating him.

From the video of him directly after in the police station he sure wasn't hurt. And fists versus gun don't equate.
The size of the guy who shot him was way bigger than the kid who was shot. And if the guy was following the kid then didn't the kid follow the stand your ground law?

1) the video was grainy and the injerious in the police report didn't sound series (blood visible on the nose and back of head). So the video doesn't really address that.
Second, the only thing needed to justify the shooting, as originally reported, was the reasonable expectation that he could ether face death, or serious bodily harm. And clearly that burden is met if Trayvon was on top of him, beating him up
don't confuse morality with the law. They are two highly distinct entities and rarely have much in common

Actually bro, the stand your ground law is pretty straight up and down. That man had the right to protect his home or his self IF confronted. HE DID not have the right to follow the man and provoke confrontation. When he called the police he should have remained in his home. Neighborhood watch or not, there is provision in the rules that say they cant even carry a weapon, Conceal carry permit or not.

Then it sounds like he had no right to shoot the kid. They way Kyuzo makes it sound he was able to follow him and it not be an act of aggression.

No. Before the laws here said you could only shoot a man if he entered your home, and olny in the front, if you shot them in the back it was considerd non threat they were fleeing.
After the new laws went into affect you could defend your self in the streets IF someone confronts you with aggression or shows a weapon and you feel your life is at threat.
The fact that he called the cops, then acted. is a big no no. I have no idea why he isnt in jail.

Throwing flour on rich white girl is not worse than murder.
1) go kill someone. You'll be arrested. 2) throw flour on a rich white girl. You won't be arrested.
As well as he did not get away "because he was racist" it was due to the Florida stand your ground laws.
My question to you: Did you not learn anything from the shroomery thread?

read the statute
<<< 3) A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.>>>
now consider that following someone, and not listening to 911 dispatcher, are not crimes.

Force to force, I think it's far fetched that if he was able to get his gun out and shoot the kid that we was in mortal danger.
And by ignoring the 911 dispatchers recommendation to not follow the kid, and then to follow him IS antagonizing him. I think once the investigation is complete he will more than likely be arrested for this.

"if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony"
again, clearly if someone is on top of you, preventing any possibility of escape, and is beating on you, there is "reasonable belief" that such actions will lead to "great bodily harm"

I can almost guarantee that if you attacked someone for following you, you would be charged, and found guilty, of assault

If someone is swinging a sword at me, and misses, it's not going to leave any bruising, but that doesn't mean I don't have legitimate concerns for sustaining "great bodily harm".

Woah a sword and fists are a lame comparison man.
If the facts come out that the guy was harassing him then he should be charged. I just don't think that this guy is innocent in the matter. Of course there's the burden of proof, and hopefully what really happened comes out and he is charged appropriately for what has happened.

on the subject of a lack of serious wounds equals a lack of threat of bodily harm? I would say the comparison is rather apt, unless you're under the impression no one was ever seriously injured while pinned to the ground, while someone struck them

A sword is assault with a deadly weapon. Using fists is not. This guy did not need to use a gun, regardless of whether he was legally allowed to do so.

it really doesn't matter, because both create reasonable expectation of bodily harm (especially in a prone position), which fulfills the requirements for the stand your ground law
*note the law isn't limited to "when people assault you with a deadly weapon"
