:Stand your ground means that you do not have to run away, but can defend yourself. However, it is not an excuse to avoid a defensive posture in your conduct. Everyone in a conflict has a duty to de-escalate it rather than promote it. Your point that Trayvon may have considered George an agressor is a valid one, but it doesn't mean that you automatically get to shoot him. The same is true of George feeling as if Trayvon was a threat. If we are to believe George's story, he only shot when he felt that he had no other options left to him, i.e. after calling for help repeatedly and being attacked physically. I don't know how anyone will come to any solid conclusion here about the facts, but honestly Stand Your Ground doesn't mean 'fight', it means you have a defense against being convicted of a crime if you acted in clear self-defense.
