Not to mention Porky is a tremendous liar and just wants to save his skin.
I don't think you have to see someone breaking the law to call police. Sometimes if something or someone doesn't look right, you have to trust your gut feeling.

Well I guess God's plan wasn't carried out because the scumbag ended up with two boo boos and is still living.

Amazing that you're still alive judging by your own standards.

GZ gave that answer to Hannity when asked if he would do anything different if he could do it again. Trying to think quickly, and not incriminate himself before the trial by admitting that he now wishes he stayed in the car and trying not sound insensitive, he gave the God answer. Now he probably wishes he could take that back too.
On the contrary, I believe if had said, 'yeah, gosh, I never intended for something like this to happen; I feel really bad about having to defend myself; blah, blah, blah, he would have been perceived as a more sympathetic defendant, and it would not have endangered his self-defense claim one iota.

He truly believes what he said.

And what does that make him guilty of? Besides being a jackass?

Exactly! He must be good because he didn't have any grass stains.

I'll be glad to train them in firearm safety, but firearm self defense classes might not be for them.
Key is George was on the offensive,....from the time he left his vehicle with a loaded weapon to follow this "unknown" teen.
Since the whole case revolves around whether George was justified in using deadly force too bad the jurors may not be privy to the real George:

Like it or not, there are people who think Gid plays a role in everything. Sure, sometimes they do so too much but even that doesn't rationalize your thought process on this

You are right..... If GZ wanted him dead, why didn't he shoot him out by the car instead of taking an ass whopping first.
