His legal obligation was to not put himself in the position he put himself in.
Could the same argument have been used for George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse?
No, because in either case, Zimmerman and Rittenhouse were never the aggressor.
Isn't it a matter of perspective whether Zimmerman was the aggressor? Couldn't "poor" Trayvon have perceived that he was being cut off from his path by a pursuing Zimmerman?
No. Zimmerman stayed far back and never approached Martin.
Martin hid and laid in wait to ambush Zimmerman. There was much evidence to this including the previously mentioned phone call to his girl friend where he stated his intention to attack "the cracker" following him and talking on his phone.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
