I've said it before, if you carry a deadly weapon you better think ahead of time just what would precipitate you drawing and using that weapon. Unlike the police, you are responsible where that bullet ends up. Even after it goes through the bad guy. Personally it would have to be a life and death situation, not somebody sneaking around in the neighborhood.

Again, Zimmerman stayed in his car when he was told to, none of this would have happened. The gist I get here from some of you is that Martin had it coming before Zimmerman ever got there and substitute the N word if it makes you feel better. So even though Zimmerman may have been justified in force, he only got to that point through his own erroneous actions.

yeah too bad he didn't just lay there and get killed, would have saved a whole lot of time and money wasted on a trial.
He would have deserved it considering he volunteered for the job. Martin would have been labeled a hero and another racist would be dead.... win win for everyone.

You mustn't follow logic well.

By the way, Z was not told to stay in the car at any point that I can find. He was out of the car and the dispatcher asks him if he was following, he said yes, dispatcher said "We don't need you to do that"...dispatcher did not say DONT DO THAT...never said DONT GET OUT OF THE CAR. Just to keep the facts straight.

He still wanted to be hero/supercop and the implication to anyone would be, don't do that and he did. He was an over zealous wannabe and the results show it.

Zimmerman is basically a Travis Bickle.

Didn't see the logic, was following the "what if's".... all regarding only Zimmermans actions.
I don't know what the outcome of this is going to be... wasn't there but I do know that facts were hidden, pictures were manipulated and the truth is slowly coming out that it isn't exactly as was portrayed originally about a poor minority youth being hunted down and shot by a racist wanna be cop.

The truth is somewhere between the white racists and black racists and that is that some stoned punk with an attitude met up with a wannabe hero/protector/cop. It was the perfect storm of two people with different types of chips on their shoulders. I don't have sympathy for either idiot.

Jim I rarely disagree with you buddy but this time I couldn't disagree more. Your using the media labels given to Zimmerman. Wannabe superhero/cop yada yada.
If I was licensed to carry and assigned to the neighborhood watch program and some young punk was pissed that I asked him whats up or are you from around here and then punked back at me you'd damn sure we get a real good escalation in conversation. F*cker laid a hand on me I would much have prefered to chock is punk ass until his heavenly reunion time. Anyone calling me a wannabe for doing my job no matter if they thought I was trying to be Barney Fife or whatever could pound sand. Quit buying into what you've heard on the media about him being a Yahoo. I'd take 20 of him before some liberal pansie pussing out... He stood his ground against a punk that's been kicked out of school for fighting, pot in his system that night. A history of rebellion. If taking his sorry ass out makes me a Yahoo then so be it. I win, he lost.

Your premise is incorrect. 1 loser + 1 loser = 2 losers

It's not his job and its neighborhood watch,not neighborhood arrester or interdicter. Was it even his neighborhood? He got what he got because of lack of good judgement. Same for Martin.
