Like I said, this is an easy one especially since the shooter was found to be lying when no weapon turned up at the scene.

You do yourself a favor and look at some of the past cases where SYG was used as a defense. If the police cannot disprove your story (and in some instances don't bother to try), you get away with murder. There are enough cases documented to prove this. SYG sucks. There are plenty of situations where death was not the only option and the murderer went free. Apparently, none of them are easy. Someone punching a windshield is definitely more of a threat than someone walking around looking about. The difference between you and I is that I believe neither of the victims in these cases deserved to die and that it is a coward move to pull the trigger and kill someone so easily.

This is why armchair justice doesn't work you see...
I was only reacting to to what was said about "not being where he was not suppoesed to be", peple do it all the time.

I suppose some medical oversight should become necessary after the more severe forms of corporal punishment reserved for the really stupid.

Yer killin' me, here.

The shooter probably felt inferiority to the intellect of the victim which drove him into a rage.

Not guilty.

How can they stand that ground taco filling? I fear for the life of the dog when they run out.

I just like to poke hypocrasy with a stick. Of course I see a real shortage of the "Zimmerman-bashers" on this thread. ~crickets
