Maybe after getting shot, he didn't die right there.
Sure. Get a bullet through the heart at close range and now TM was capable of dragging himself across the lawn. And while dragging himself across the lawn his last thought was the lesson he just learned (as has been stated by a couple of other posters).
It was not a registered group. That is why TMs parents were suing the HOA. If it had been a registered group, GZ would have had to attend police training to know exactly what to do when certain instances arise. One that the police do is advise Neighborhood Watch members to NOT to carry a gun.

They may advise it, but it is far from a lawful order.
This isn't a debate, there was no official Neighborhood Watch program in the community. I'm not sure why this makes any difference to people, some of you act like the entire case hinges on this bit of info and it doesn't.
Oh please!!!! It makes a difference and it factors in because GZ claimed he was acting in the capacity as a neighborhood watchman. The HOA sent out a notice that GZ was the captain of the (unregistered) Neighborhood Watch and he was the contact person.
Your need to be right about everything is absolutely pathetic.
That link doesn't prove that GZ appointed himself head of the neighborhood watch group in his community. Show me where GZ appointed himself to anything.
I guess the HOA took it upon themselves to appoint GZ the neighborhood watchman and failed to inform him. Or GZ never got the notice so he didn't know he was the neighborhood watch captain, OR GZ was aware of it and failed to inform them that they were wrong?
It's pretty clear that Trayvon Martin's life was in danger (he just didn't know it) right before he took a 9mm round to the heart and he had very few bodily injuries up to that point, certainly nothing serious.
As were GZs wounds - nothing serious. After being examined, he didn't require any medical attention or hospitalization required, just a couple of band aids.
They may advise it, but it is far from a lawful order.
I agree. But GZ never attended any training whatsoever. As I said they give guidance and advice that members. Maybe if he been better informed this would not have happened.

Maybe his father, the ex-judge, mentored him.
