Keep in mind, there are some on here who have made it their mission to paint Zimmerman as a fat, overweight, ignorant slob who also is a very wise, strategic, stealthy attacker who was a martial arts expert and expert night club bouncer who just carried a loaded gun to intimidate black infants that he found walking around at night.

He felt like a strong tough guy going up against an unarmed kid, but we will see how he handles people getting in his face everyday and following him and his family around. As many people have pointed out, that wouldn't be illegal and if he gets upset and says something about it than they would be justified if they just decided to shoot him.

Maybe his murderer will be able to get off on a bogus self defense claim too, the universe has a way of making these things work out sometimes.
Easy Sco, go easy.

Its understood Zimmerman may be found not guilty. It doesn't mean he is innocent. But take whatever with a grain of salt.

Zimmerman isn't going to have an easy life regardless of the verdict. He isn't worth killing. I think he'll probably be shunned, ridiculed, ignored by a LOT of people should he be found not guilty. He isn't like OJ who had a pension of $300k a year, he needs to work, he has to and thats going to be one tough proposition for him. Everyday life will be pretty brutal for him. IMO.

And the victim appears to be small.

Getting the snot beat out of her, then thrown down the stairs, and just a couple of stitches in her mouth.!!

Good question.

Convicted felons can't own firearms, neither can those convicted of domestic violence. Zimmerman has both in his history. It looks like maybe George's dad has a little problem he needs to address.

George Zimmerman, Son of a Retired Judge, Has 3 Closed Arrests
Quote:
According to a records search on George, he was previously arrested
for domestic violence, resisting an officer without violence and most
shockingly, resisting an officer with violence — a felony charge that surely could have landed him in prison.
Would Zimmerman have had a license to carry a gun if his father wasn't a judge?

Killing is a last resort. Defend yourself as best you can or leave. Zimmerman did neither. He killed.

They surely don't go to to doctor. But the "beating" is Zimmerman's excuse (and ONLY excuse) for killing. And the "beating" was so insignificant that he didn't even bother seeing a doctor.

Arrests /= criminal record. Zimmerman was never convicted of anything, he has no criminal record.

Default GZ going down

The beady-eyed racist GZ was armed and concealing his weapon when he initiated contact with TM. TM simply minding his own business, eating Skittles, and heading home. GZ insulted TM to instigate a verbal, then physical confrontation. Knowing that was packing, GZ allowed TM to get the upper hand so that any bystanders would conclude that GZ was being attacked. GZ a sneaky, deceptive coward, and this has even been shown in his trying to trick the Judge earlier in this case. TM, didn't know that he was fighting a lunatic carrying a loaded weapon, and when he found out, he fled. GZ then went in hot pursuit, eager to finally be able to realize relief. He hated black people, especially young black men. Their way of dress, language, music, and impact on the neighborhood offended him on the deepest of levels. He wanted them all to go away, and deep resentment tormented and aggravated him 24/7. Finally, he had a chance to shoot one of them and feel relief. Unfortunately for this vile, supremely ignorant, stupid man, Eating Skittles While Black (ESWB), is not a crime in this society. While TM laid there pleading for his life, an underaged BOY still with Skittles stuck in his teeth, depraved heart GZ shot him.

GZ, once convicted, will be sent to jail for the rest of his life, one that likely will be cut short. His future is not bright. He will either be beaten senseless in prison before being killed. Or he will be wrongly acquitted, and face a life of fear and doubt before he is beaten senseless before being killed.

However you cut it, GZ can't win. He was entirely in the wrong, and no rationale by the racists who support him can change that reality. Racism, as exemplified by ignoramuses like GZ, has no place in this society. Justice for TM is right. This is how it will unfold.

You don't use deadly force only because you've already been beaten enough to die, you also are justified in using deadly force if you feel that the beating will lead to your death. If you are in fear for your life you are justified in using deadly force to defend yourself.

Zimmerman defended himself, according to him it was a last resort and now the state will have to prove him wrong.
