Really? You're sticking with that pile of crap are you?

How do you figure a person that attacks another is innocent or that a person defending himself from the attack of another needs to pay? From my view the debt was paid when the young man died. IMHO it really doesnt matter what you are doing, if somebody attacks you you have a right to defend yourself in any situation.

Anyway Im cant change your mind. I have a pistol license I believe in the right to carry. Just not by a yahoo with a history of violence. I heard the 911 tape where the lady was crying about what was going on. Kid screaming , gunshots , no more screaming. So my logical mind tells me that ole crazy over here , follwed the kid , (becasue he was following him on the 911 tape) confronted him (becasue he has some craziness going on with the,, these c--ns punks watever always get away. who is that mad at someone they dont know ) started a fight (because he said he fought the kid ) and then shot him cuz he cant fight and he was losing. No I dont know but logically to me it makes so much sense.

So he ran annnnd assaulted him. Wow so i should get shot because I am a kid , I dont know u and you are following me? So I run. You don't know me but already hate me ("these fn punks always get away), and want to punish me .What pray tell is indecent about that. If I ran away how did you shoot me if you werent stalking me like Bronson lol.

If somebody is preparing to shoot you, in my world it is perfectly acceptable to beat that somebody's head against the concrete.

Maybe I don't live in the civilized world where it is perfectly acceptable to kill unarmed children.
Thing is there is nothing to suggest that he knew Zimmerman even had a gun, let alone was preparing to shoot. Had he had his gun drawn chances are the young man, he WAS NOT a kid, would have stopped & acted much differently, as would you or anyone else. People dont attack other people who have guns pointed at them.

He was told by the 911 dispatcher not to pursue the kid, he did anyway. He put himself in that situation, and a 17 year old kid died because of it.

Anybody being beaten can respond with deadly force if they think its needed. Theres a big difference between defending yourself AFTER an attack has been made on your person and going on the offensive before violence is commited on your person.

A 911 dispatcher will tell you to go to a safe room & let your wife get raped too. Regardless of his actions he was put in a situation to defend himself & he did. It makes no difference how he got there. A 17 year old young man died because he thought it better to run away & then attack than to act in a normal peacable manner. Trayvon seems to have been the one who took it from a verbal confrontation to a physical one and he paid the price.
