Can’t really blame them, it’s a big story. I wasn’t there, but from what I’ve read, seen/heard on TV the guy was definetly in the wrong and I wouldn’t be surprised if political pressure leads to the guy getting chargered.

Very sad story, the more I read the sadder it gets… Kid calling for help and then gun shots going off means that he was totally helpless.

As of right now the guy is legally innocent. With that being said, does anyone else find it disturbing that a group of people put 10 grand out for someone to kidnap this guy? All I know is that if I offered a stranger 10 grand to go kidnap someone for me… im sure id be in some sort of trouble over that.

It’s true though. As a 100% safety oriented firearm owner this kind of shit pisses me off to no end, because it will ultimately lead to BS legislation that will limit my(OUR) right to legally carry firearms. More and more judges are becoming more anti-gun every day and it’s becoming ever more difficult for people like myself to obtain a pistol permit, let alone someone like myself who would like ti to NOT have a ten mile list of restrictions attached in the process.

I’m not slating one way or the other who is/was at fault or what caused/necessitated the shooting, but the MEDIA is making a huge stink about this and it’s only going to muddy the waters further.

You’re right.

Being that this happened in Florida, gun control activists will be all over it because Florida is viewed as a less restrictive state with firearms.

We don’t know the whole story but I’d be willing to bet its what the media has portrayed it to be, an innocent kid killed for no reason. Even if the kid started shit it’s doubtful it warranted being handled with a gun.

Evidence is starting to come out confirming Zimmerman’s story that he told the police. That he was attacked from behind when he was returning to his truck, knocked to the ground and than had his head smashed into the pavement by Martin.

IF, major if, his account of the events proves to be true than it looks like he was well in his rights to use his handgun.

Even if it comes out that Zimmermans story is true people are still going to want him to be punished.

I watched the interview with their lawyer that ran this morning. Kinda surprised the guy was very poorly spoken. Sounds to me like the douche chased after him and the kid fought back since the guy wasn’t a cop. Just my opinion though.
