Now irrelevant as a proper enquiry will take place, .
Inability to arrest because of that law is what the Police claimed in one of the early press releases (linked to before), but it seems that the very people who drafted that law said it does not apply in this case because Zimmerman was the active person in that he followed Martin & thereby incited the violence.
An inquiry has been under way the entire time.
I think you're referring to the "stand your ground" law which doesn't necessarily apply to this case but a person is still allowed to use deadly force in any situation where he feels his life was threatened. By definition, I'd say that being sucker punched and having your head pounded on the pavement is a life-threatening situation.
And Zimmerman absolutely did not incite the violence.
An interesting tidbit from the FBI that race agitators like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton conveniently ignore while claiming that African-Americans are "under attack" in this country: relatively speaking, whites kill very few African-Americans.
African-Americans kill other African-Americans in large enough numbers that homicide is a leading cause of death for young males, while only a small percentage are killed by whites. Whites kill whites, African-Americans kill African-Americans and "others" kill "others."

More innocent people hurt by race agitators like Spike Lee:
Elderly couple abandons their home after address is posted on Twitter as that of George Zimmerman
11:49 p.m. EST, March 27, 2012|Susan Jacobson, Orlando Sentinel
A school-cafeteria lunch lady and her husband have received hate mail, unwanted visits from reporters and fearful inquiries from neighbors - all because their Sanford-area address is being disseminated on Twitter as belonging to Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman, her son said late Tuesday.
The woman, 70, who has a heart condition, and her husband, 72, have temporarily moved to a hotel to avoid the spotlight and possible danger, said son Chip Humble of Longwood.
The woman has another son named William George Zimmerman who lived with her in 1995 and still lives in Central Florida. He is no relation to George Zimmerman, 28, who killed 17-year-old Trayvon Feb. 26, sparking national outrage and international interest.
William Zimmerman isn't sure how his mother and stepfather's address became public. He said he used it to register a car, get a drivers license and vote when he lived there briefly after college.
"This is really scary, and I'm concerned for my family," Zimmerman told the Orlando Sentinel Tuesday night. "It's scary because there are people who aren't mentally right and will take this information and run with it."
Zimmerman traced the tweets - which he said have been retweeted by actor-director Spike Lee - to a man in California. Zimmerman has implored the man to stop and said he received this response, "Black power all day. No justice, no peace" and an obscenity.
Lee's tweet has been removed, but it continues to be retweeted.
"To endanger people who are innocent because people are angry is not the answer," William Zimmerman said. "That's not how we're going to heal. It's not to help the Martin family for someone else to be hurt."
You lot still harping on about this?

"This" lot will keep harping about it as long as "that" lot (most of the world) keeps harping about it. 
I haven't heard about it once aside from on this board!

If you get all of your news from the BCG you must have a very twisted worldview. 
I imagine they're going on about it alot more in America, what with it happening in America.

Lol, no, I mean no one's talking about it (that I've seen) in the papers or on TV news.
I'm disgusted by those stats.
How dare you lump us Jews in with everyone else.
We own your f**king dump of a country.

It's been all over the BBC and UK papers. Coverage seems to have decreased slightly now that it's emerged that the shooter was getting his head smashed into the pavement.
Not seen a word.

I wouldn't describe it as having been "all over the BBC and UK papers."
..and the way that people cherrypick spurious anecdotal hearsay evidence according to their own particular political bent..
Don't feed the trolls.

I'd call being on the front page of the BBC and major newspapers "all over the BBC and UK papers" and the fact that many members of this forum discussed it for many pages would seem to be proof that this story isn't only of interest to Americans.
As for politics, the shooter was a Democrat so why am I defending him if I'm such a blinkered partisan? And as for trolling, I think 10,000+ posts are evidence that I have something to contribute to these forums.

I wouldn't, but then I'm not a sensationalist.

Could be a few different answers to that..
I mean.. you were defending him before that particular piece of "evidence" came out.

It's quality, not quantity, that counts.

Damn!
I have over 30,000 posts and proudly have nothing to contribute to these forums
