It's hard to believe there are still people out there who refuse to accept the actual facts and evidence that came to light in this case.

God intervened.

It's funny how in the past year his most loyal supporters, namely his wife and his best friend, both retracted their support for him and stated they do not believe in his version of the events anymore because of "his tendencies". Yet random people will continue to push Zimmerman's version of events, as if this proven perjuror's statements are to be believed like the Gospels. Their only motivation is the fact that they share the same "tendencies". They are the Michael Dunns of America.

Isn't that the truth. But someday GZ will get in a situation that he can't lie out of.

On the other hand, I had to wonder if there might be someone who might feel like "maybe I should be able to shoot first and ask questions later".

The "police" did not instruct him to stay in his vehicle. The dispatcher on the other end of the phone did. This has been re-hashed a kazillion times. But I get what you're saying.

When you shoot someone who is not armed and is not in your house, it is murder.

If Zimmerman had done that, then he would have been a dead human being.

Zimmerman acted in self defense.

Not if you are being viciously assaulted and defend your life.
