If Zimmerman gets off, it won't be the first time white guys in Florida committed racially motivated murder against a black kid and got away with it. It has happened hundreds of times. They used to lynch the kids. Now they just tail them through a housing development, start a fight and shoot them. ----------------------------------- I don't know if that's true or not. But my layman opinions a Zimmerman shouldn't be carrying a gun. He thinks he's a cop or has a cop complex. He shouldn't have engaged Martin. He should have just called 911 if he thought any suspicious activity was going on. It would be a different story if he were ambushed or jumped by Martin. However, based on the testimony to date, he was not in violation of the stand your ground statute, IMO. In the court system, that's all that matters. It's a typical gun-nut state law. Zimmerman started an altercation with a black teen-ager who was doing nothing illegal, and when Zimmerman lost control of his temper (what did he say, that "they always get away with it" or something like that), he escalated and then ended it by shooting the kid. He was "standing his ground" in someone else's face and using his pistol to bail himself out of it. And Florida's stand your ground law lets him do it. Grfeat story Harry, but it won't sell. |
