I was simply saying that he was being beaten and then used his firearm to diffuse te situation, like ANY of us would have done. Zimmerman was lookin for trouble, that’s what neighborhood watch does. Not only that, but he was within his rights be following Trayvon. He was protecting himself after a situation escalated. Did I say you said that? Nope. If neighborhood watch is there to create escallations that wouldn’t happen without him being there to begin with, it’s defeating the purpose of the watch. They should react to situations, not cause them. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/neighborhood-watch-leader-shoots-fl-teen/263127)._
