Nobody is disputing the evidence against zimmerman.

This law will not come into play.

Many, many thousands of unarmed American citizens are murdered every year by thugs with guns.

This may have turned out differently had the young man also had a gun.

If I were the neighbor of some of the lefties on here, I would have the sign on my lawn, "I believe in the 2nd amendment....this family to my left does not!"

Who would be robbed first?

I see that you are continuing to make false statements without providing proof.

I'll ask again: Do you have links that you can provide that shows a case where a black man killed another black man and at the scene of the crime he claimed self-defense and was free to leave?

That's hilarious.....

Again, it was not "area" it was in his COMPLEX
She said 17 robberies and a shooting are no big deal. I mean this is a prime example of why crime is allowed to take root in the black community.

I mean it literally leaves ways open to legaly kill someone: Example, I don't like "John" so I decide I'm going to agitate him next time I see him on the street. I succeed in agitating John so he comes towards me (maybe saying "what did you say about me?"). I suddenly "fear" for my life and shoot the guy. You would have a good chance getting off in this scenario under the current law.
So in essence, you do not want the American citizens armed?

The proof is there for anyone caring to find it. Blacks were terrorizing his neighborhood and he decided to take a stand. Raise better kids and maybe the good ones won't get profiled. It's simple. Why aren't Asians being gunned down for being suspected criminals?
I think you are a little confused or are a little slow following this string of events. Trayvon Martin was more than profiled he was killed. Maybe should keep up or sit this one out!

They released Zimmerman without drug testing, without obtaining his clothing, without retaining his weapon. This 'investigation' ended 10 minutes after the cops arrived until people demanded otherwise. Why must it take an act of congress, Fed Judiciary, & Executive branch to get these people's heads out of their own arses?

Lmao.

Seriously, there is most certainly a culture of corruption in NYC and people are not particularly encouraged to do something about it. Often when trying they run into a wall of red tape.

Case in point, when my parents were living there the heat broke in their building and the landlord refused to repair it. Back then part of the process to get your landlord to do something they need to if they didn't want to requires you to have the city inspect and document the violation. Well the city code office was on the landlord's pay roll. One city inspector said as much to them. He told them "Look this isn't going to do any good, my guess is that your previous inspectors trashed the report as soon as they left the building, I am honest, I assure you my report will make it back to the office, but I also can assure you that someone in admin will put it in the shredder asap."

New York City is as corrupt as it gets. Bernie Goetz was NYC's Zimmerman and he got hailed as a hero for what he did.
