I believe this whole thing was a very complicated situation. I would hope that this verdict doesn't lead to even more deaths from what I would call a vigilante mentality. I certainly believe that a person should be able to protect themselves and their family but I also am angst over how the difference is dealt with in regard to those who finds themselves threatened when they might have been the instigator. It will clearly lead to an increased debate over "stand your ground" type of laws across the country.

This does remind me of why I never "carried" in the past. I always said there's no way I'm going to let someone whoop my butt if I'm packing. Evidently Mr Zimmerman didn't either.
But in regards to the victim and his family: "Nothing good happens after midnight" Herm Edwards All you have to be is in Fear for your life or great bodily harm, both people having a gun has zero to do with it. I thought it was pretty funny how much TM grew up since his death. He went from a good boy to a street fighting, dope smoking thug. I say good riddance. If the mainstream median were not the whores that they are this would of been a non-issue. No one cares about the blacks that kills blacks every day in Chicago or every week in Indianapolis.

"Fear for your life or great bodily harm,"
This is the phrase that leads me to a lot of concern. Heck, my guess is that a lot of people in this day and age, especially at night in a lot of areas, are fearful of their life or bodily harm when approached by a stranger. I guess I'm not sure that simply being in fear for one's life or of bodily harm is enough to justify shooting someone. Now, when there is physical altercation it is a lot easeir for me justify then. I see it as a very, very fine line that could be easily finessed by someone wanting to take the law into their own hands.

I understand your point Shingle, but there seems to be a growing portion of society that could fall into the unreasonable portion.

What blew me away was the fact that they kept saying Zimmerman's wounds weren't life threatening, well they could have become quickly if he had not protected himself. Keep bashing a skull against a sidewalk and damage is being done inside as well as out, your nose gets broke your eyes water up and blood flows out through the nostril and possibly to the back of the throat making it difficult to breathe. Sad situation, yet they demonized Zimmerman from the beginning and portrayed that the young man was just a kid out getting some Skittles and tea. I am glad that the justice system overrode the "media/emotional trial", no one won, though justice was served.
Yep
