Just sayin'.

Just from my standpoint, I've been beat down on more than one occasion. Done some beatin down on others. Never had a desire to kill the other guy with a gun. I don't own anything that I'd kill somebody over. Messing with my family or my life is a whole 'nuther issue. I rarely carry anymore. Carrying is a royal pain in the rump in more ways than one. At home, I'm rarely over 4 steps from a loaded firearm that I am intimately familiar with. My wife and son are both very familiar with guns. I hope none of us ever has to use one other than for fun.

I have used guns in the past to get my rear end out of a crack on more than one occasion when I knew beyond any shadow of a doubt that my well being was in danger. I'm still here.

Did that kid deserve to die for beating the other guy down. Probably not. I can think of a scenario where it might have come to that. If the deceased was going for Zimmerman's gun, then the rules could change very quickly.

Zimmerman was an idiot for getting himself into that situation. He should have disengaged and let the big boys handle it. It would have played a lot better in his defense if he had been running away from that kid and gotten attacked than the way it went down.

As has been stated, most of the media has done a piss poor job of reporting what few facts are known.

Furthermore, according to Florida law and US law, he is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
