Does anyone think George Zimmerman is guilty of murder?

Ok, I'm just saying... where do you draw the line regarding "being in danger".

Without getting off topic, I'd be careful with that kind of legislation. What if someone cuts in front of you at a hardware store line? What if you think rightly or wrongly that someone looked a little too long at your girlfriend? What if you complain in either of those cases... and the other guy is armed? Will he feel threatened and in danger? It just opens a whole 'nother can of worms.

If Zimmerman truly shot Trayvon as result of a good old-fashioned scuffle.... a self-defense verdict is walking on some truly thin ice, IMO.

So you think Zimmerman just shot Trayvon because his feelings got hurt?

Was that necessary?

You're at a bar and some guy shoves you.
You're armed, and you feel threatened, so you shoot the guy dead.
How should that be legally handled?

There's always the opportunity to remove yourself from that situation UNLESS someone is sitting on top of you and pounding your head into the ground....then yes you can shoot him without repercussion because (and follow me closely on this part) YOUR LIFE WAS IN DANGER.

Zimmerman was getting the shit kicked out of him as one can tell by the broken nose and how the back of his head was fucked up.


But hey what do I know, I'm smart enough not to get in fights

You didn't get a rise out of me the first time, so if at first you don't succeed....










But bottom line: The case means little to me also. I was more shocked about the much less publicized case of the guy in Jacksonville who emptied his gun into a teenager-filled SUV at a gas station because they were playing loud music (and he wanted to play macho man in front of his girlfriend).

Although the following statement will go totally ignored by you, I've never made a big deal about Trayvon being black and Zimmerman not being black.
