Even if someone swings at you first, and they miss?

Might want to rethink your logic.

If you're walking down the street, and you spot Zimmerman walking behind you, you should reasonably be afraid for your life at that point. I would be.

And we know what that means in Florida...

I kind of think OJ is paying for his crime......things just never seem to go right for him.

Thanks! I hadn't heard he was welcome there or knew anyone.

That is very true. OJ had a $300k a year pension, Zimmerman has to work. Sooner than later the supporters contributing to him will dwindle away to nothing. Of course, he might try some legal action against the news networks but they have deep pockets, can stonewall for years and have lawyers far, far better than Bernie. Likely O'Mara will back away from him in the future as well.

And even O'Mara said something a few days ago that Zimmerman has a tough life ahead.

The bottom line here is that, as explained in an article I read this morning, in Florida a person can take a gun, go looking for trouble, find it, and then shoot a teenager he does not know who is doing nothing wrong, and walk away "not guilty" of anything. Something is wrong here and the victim's background is irrelevant in that.

I find this hard to believe!!!!

Anyone on Florida that can confirm this?

If they swing at you, you then have the justification to use equal force to fight back.

Surely, he'll be able to safely fill slurpee machines in the future. Judging by how he speaks, I doubt he is qualified for any higher skilled job anyway.
