Would you be OK shooting someone in self defense who attacks you or your family ?

do you have proof the kid was a "thug or a thief"? a good majority of kids smoke pot in high school it doesn't make them a punk.

Of course he has no proof. And I'd guess that we both understand what is the real basis of his "opinion."

The lead investigator, who recommended a charge of manslaughter, asked Zimmerman the one question which everyone is now asking. After hearing Zimmerman's story that Martin circled his car, had his hand in his waistband, etc., the investigator asked the next logical question: Why then did you get out of the car and follow Martin (with your gun)? Zimmerman lied and said the dispatcher asked him to ID his location. A review of the recorded calls shows that not to be true.

Zimmerman's own arrogance caused this incident. With much freedom (to carry a gun) comes much responsibility.

Yes, that was one of the "inconsistencies" between his statement and the recordings. Zimmerman repeated a number of times that he was attempting to locate an address because the dispatcher wanted the location. I'm guessing that will be one of the inconsistencies used at trial to impeach Zimmerman if he takes the stand.

Really? Trayvon never killed anyone, nor was he arrested for domestic violence or assaulting a police officer. I have some neighbors who smoke pot. They are harmless.

They can live next to me. It's much better then the criminals living next door.
It looks like the word 'concealed' is too difficult for some to understand.

One can not have too many guns.
