You are trippin. I never said that nor do I believe it.
Here is my issue: You should not be able to initiate a confrontation, get your ass handed to you and then use lethal force. How is that.
That law needs to be revisited. It is a law that lends itself to abuse.
I am all about self defense but just because you have a permit to conceal carry does not give you a right to confront a human being and then shoot them when you are losing a fist fight.
No. An individual should NOT be allowed to claim "self-defense" if they are the instigator. That is not right.
it has been revealed that Zimmerman was not a member of any group recognized by the organization. Zimmerman violated the central tenets of Neighborhood Watch by following Martin, confronting him and carrying a concealed weapon. “In no program that I have ever heard of does someone patrol with a gun in their pocket,” Carmen Caldwell, the Executive Director of Citizens’ Crime Watch of Miami-Dade, told theGrio. “Every city and municipality has their own policies. Here in Miami-Dade we train people only to be the eyes and ears of their communities. Not to follow and most definitely not to carry a weapon.”

Why else would he not wait for the cops in his car like he should have when told he didn't need to follow the kid. he chose to follow only because he had a gun and he wanted to exercise the power he felt by having it... I've worked in mental and have dealt with his kind before...

There are people that shoot anything they can just because they can... There are sickos that get a rush from shooting dogs and Zimmerman is one of those types... You could become a target for a jerk like that just as anyone else could.
Considering this is the only time that anyone knows of zimmerman fatally shooting a person,within the law might I add, how can you state his mentality as some one who hunts people to kill them?

Here is what I think about you Zimmerman groupies:
From the get, you staked out your positions. Then your hate radio, blogs, websites, added fuel to your fires.
Any derogatory information that came out about Zimmerman was dismissed out of hand.
It was all about the "liberal media", the NAACP, Jesse Jackson and all that crap. These are people and institutions you despised even before this event.
You have been played like a fiddle. You are too ignorant to realize it. They are distracting you with some bs while Rome burns.
There is too much fluoride in your water. Get a freakin filter.

Everything points to Zimmerman being the instigator. He followed a kid in his vehicle, gets out and pursues this kid ever more.
Then conveniently he stops being the instigator? Yeah right. This is more plausible..confronts kid..attempts to subdue kid for cops and then altercation ensues and then Zimmerman underestimated the kid and got his but handed to him..pulls out gun and shoots kid.
Comes up with ridiculous story of walking back to vehicle after confronting Martin and accepts his "story" after thinking this kid is up to good...you believe he confronted Martin accepted his story of why he was out without no suspicion and then Martin runs ahead of him to hide out where he then jumps out to attack Zimmerman..claims self defense..such BS.

You Zimmerman fans are such groupies. Seriously give it a rest.
There are much more worthy causes to expend your energy on.
Crap we have: Cancer societies for children, Homeless veteran organizations, et al.
What the heck. Let that "I wish I had a pair of balls" move on.

yeah, well guess what?? The race riots never happened. People are mad, myself included, but no one is destroying the property in their neighborhoods.
You just want to pick a fight. And you blame the Black people for having attitude.
You are a racist person. Admit it. Come clean and own your own business. Don't couch it, be a man!
