Exactly. And what was this HOA even thinking in allowing a watchman to have a gun? And yes they are liable..
You have no idea if they approved or allowed him to carry a gun. As a private citizen I can carry a gun on my private property, in my car, in my house and as a licensed gun owner I can take it with me almost every where.
One of the basics of law is the protection of self and your property. Steal my property and you may be shot.
Most American teenagers have pretty low standards for being good, then. Most teenage boys have been in a fist fight at least once in their lives, too. Most teenagers use profanity, and now (fortunately or unfortunately) a moment of a profane-laden outburst can be recorded indefinitely on Facebook and Twitter. I don't doubt that Trayvon did things he shouldn't have done as a teenage boy. Doesn't matter.

I'm all for letting a grand jury take a look at it -- that's basically what I've been asking for all along.
Yes I am enraged, and I am what I say I am. The minority of vocal and powerful racists and idiots that masquerade as being a part of my party and particularly the ones that are also my skin color and live in the same region as me like these morons down in Sanford REALLY hurt my cause, THEY are my sworn enemies, not democrats. You can thank Zimmerman and Sanford along with the racist bloggers for ensuring the current idiot in office gets re-elected.
Most of us white conservative southerners ARE NOT RACISTS OR MORONS THE MORONS AND RACISTS JUST MAKE THE MOST NOISE AND IT PISSES ME OFF. IVE HAD ENOUGH OF IT!!!
This on top of an innocent child losing his life and a man who would have walked scott free IF NOT for the media because his daddy is a rich judge with political connections has got me livid.
I can't even begin to imagine how angry black people are right now. Because I'm not black and I AM ABOUT TO EXPLODE WITH RAGE. Topics like this and the fake pics and the "he should have died" or "another n***** dead" comments I'm seeing in the internet are the equivalent of pouring metric tons of gasoline on the Forest fire currently burning that is my anger.
Ok. So you're angry. Is it based in any fact whatsoever? "Daddy is a judge" is not a rational reason to be angry. The media might be a valid reason, but you've not elaborated on why. What exactly about the case has you angry?
Lots of people defending the black kid getting shot because he was probably a gangster or a mad seed. Zimmerman becomes the victim.
Just lovely. And you guys say there's no racism in this country.
The problem is that this would have been quietly swept under the rug has it not picked up national attention. THAT is the problem. THAT is the racist element, because you can be damned sure that Treyvon would have been fast-tracked to trial had he shot Zimmerman. And there would have been threads here celebrating the thug being put away.
Jesus, people. Be racist all you want, but at least be discreet about it.
What are you doing about all the juveniles getting killed in Chicago? Guns are banned, now what's the excuse?

Correction, 8:56 pm ET March 25, 2012: We made a mistake. The photo on the right is not of the Trayvon Martin who was shot by Zimmerman. We apologize to our readers and to the Martin family.
Sorry to burst YOUR bubble, but the photo in your link is of a different individual. Do all African American males look the same to you?

No, those 2 pictures are the same individual. All of those pictures were taken from the "Trayvon Martin" facebook page that did not belong to the Trayvon Martin that was shot.
That is the facebook page where people are pulling pictures - it is NOT the Trayvon that was killed.
