I'm waiting for the day a mall cop lets loose complaining that a bunch of pimply faced teenage concourse dwellers made him feel "endangered". "They were texting each other furiously as they ganged up on me....I have KIDS, dammit!"

Meh.

Gun play accountability always devolves into situational use for justification. That said, If you CAUSED the situation wherein you had to use your gun, there is no justification for its use.

Even if we turn the black kid into a High Times Skittle worshiper with aggressive tendencies towards anyone who may be following him, the point remains that Zims had been told by legal authority to not do so. It doesn't really matter (as a model) if multiple warrants for violent criminal behavior were on the table for Trayvon due to prior activity, Zimmerman didn't know that and he hadn't done anything problematic on THIS night.

The rational idea from Zims that "I shot someone who was trying to injure me" is completely believable. That someone may have been doing so due to -- apparently valid -- fear CAUSED BY ZIMS HIMSELF warrants analysis.

Bottom line?

1. No gun, no death.
2. Zims is prime example of who should NOT possess a firearm.
3. This case is racially charged but should be about logic.
4. Logically, Zims was WAY outside his boundaries as a citizen.

All you need to know is that Trevon was a child eating skittles while skipping home happily and Zimmerman was an insane monster bent on killing him

This is the best post you have had in the thread.

Are you watching this? The defense is trying to make these minor injuries into something it is not.

Missed it this a.m. I had to kill a beehive out by the front gate of our complex, I was terrified. Actually, I snuck up on 'em last night and did the deed. Now I have to clean it out.

So Zippy, "the creepy assed cracker" got a bloody nose and fell down and cut his head for stalking Trayvon. I think he was the one who told the kid that he was going to die tonight rather then the other way around, that's why Trayvon was screaming for help.

I hope his ego makes him take the stand so that the prosecution can show what a liar he is. That would seal a 2nd degree murder conviction. If he doesn't? It'll be manslaughter and this cretin will walk with probation.

And over $400K raised to defend Zimmerman, and we are seeing this money doing it's work.

No, that's what the facts present.
