I think what most rational and sane people would have liked to have happened would have been if Zimmerman hadn't played vigilante that night, that he would not have followed/stalked a teenage boy that night, a boy who very well could have felt like HIS life was in danger by some unknown assailant, and that Zimmerman would have left the police work to trained law enforcement.
See? No harm, no foul. Zimmerman would have not put his own life in danger (for those who think it ever really was ) and a teenage boy could have made it back to where he was staying with his iced tea and skittles.
That dope smoking, gun flashing "boy" is responsible for his own death and no amount of made up BS will change that.
George Zimmerman may be found guilty and spend the rest of his life in jail but we'll still know that he prevented that thug from hurting/killing anyone else.
That's not what we were discussing. We were discussing this post:
Keep up.
I don't need to keep up, I made that statement and I stand by it. If a stranger were walking around my neighborhood in the dark, regardless of the time, I would at least ask him/her who they are. It has nothing to do with being threatening, I'm protective of my area and the people who live around me... they would all do the same for me given the chance. I live in a very tight community, we look out for each other.
You probably dream about it every night. Living vicariously through George Zimmerman.
Dream about surviving a physical attack by using my legally carried self defense firearm? Not really, there's nothing to dream about when you're prepared.
I don't know. That's weird to me also, but most of the threads around here are rooting for Zimmerman's innocence.
Look, I am going to be honest and straight forward. I do believe Zimmerman is a little off. But that doesn't mean he didn't have the right to defend himself with lethal force. To me Martin was nothing more than a punk. A criminal who was probably up to not good. Now, I know that doesn't mean he deserves to be dead! But I (and many of us who you are referring to) have seen it for the better part of my life. I am retired law enforcement and I can't even begin to explain to you the injustices that have taking place through the media, PC crowd, and the biggest scam is this race game. Every single time a black person is shot, arrested, questioned ect ect.. The race card is played. And they know it and use it every time! You couldn't do anything if you were a white cop with out the race card being played and being called racist. God forbid a cop shoots a black man... it must have been because he was black.. I am so sick of this crap the minute I hear it I tune it out realizing the truth never matters to these people.
With respect to Zimmerman...well, have you ever been in fear for your life? I have, and nobody can look back and explain how they would feel or act in the same situation or tell me how I should feel.
I've seen scumbag drug dealers shoot and kill another scumbag drug dealer but guess what... he was justified because he was defending himself..
Like I said, My gut tells me there is something a little off with this Zimmerman.. It's quite possible he could be found guilty of some lesser charges for using such poor judgment and basically helping to escalate the situation. But I with the little evidence I have seen I think he was justified in using deadly force! But we will see what the jury decides who has all of the information. I just hope that if they do decide he is NOT guilty they don't riot like they did in LA

Finally the voice of reason and common sense arrives. Beware, you're severely outnumbered.
Someone walking home from the store at 7:00 is threatening?
According to right-wingers, someone walking while black is always threatening.
