Wow, you've convicted Martin of something no one else has. Does that
extra-legal right come in a cereal box?
You all seem pretty quick to convict Zimmerman without that trial you
demanded
I think he's a scumbag but I haven't convicted him. I just hope he
does time for his stupidity. He deserves it for engaging in a foolish
pursuit of someone with whom he had no business nor right.
The police dispatcher told him specifically that he "didn't need to do
that" when she realized he was running after Trayvon. His negligent
actions ended up with the death of a 17 year old kid.
A conviction would be nice, but the only real good that might come out
of this is a serious modification of Florida's Shoot First So You Don't
Have to Question Law. When you initiate a confrontation, as Zimmerman
did, you shouldn't be allowed to end it with a firearm and then claim
self-defense. But such change isn't likely in a state populated by
rednecks, crackers, bible-toters and modern Republicans.
