She had zero grounds for self defense since she was the sole agressor.

Local politicos want to be seen as "tough on crime" and pass stupid minimum-sentencing laws amidst loud cheers from their dumbass electorate. Justice doesn't come into it.

firing a warning shot is illegal and stupid.
killing someone in self defense is legal and highly recommended.

this is yet another brainless topic brought on by the same bed-wetter.

She fired a warning shot with her children next to their father....in addition to a long rap sheet of domestic trouble that was mutually inclusive.

This is comparing applesauce and oranges.

This is rich. See how absurd conservatives are over guns & gun laws? It is now preferable to KILL someone rather than fire a warning shot. I think all of you need therapy, big time.

The liberal media has convicted GZ and blacks don't care just so they can scream racism. It must be hell to live a life where no matter what happens your mind twist it to fit your agenda instead of wanting the truth. Going through life thinking the world is against you, no true happiness in these people.

Firing a warning shot for WHAT though? According to the accounts I am reading...he didnt put his hands in her. It was a verbal argument that stemmed from her infidelity and then SHE escalated it with the gun.

Then firing a warning **** around little children...YOUR OWN CHILDREN...is stupid.

You never fire warning shots because you are then responsible for where that bullet goes. It puts others at risk. Drywall inside a home will not stop a bullet.
Yes, but the point of this thread is the contrast with Zimmerman's case. Didn't he also put someone's life at risk?
