If somebody breaks into my house in the middle of the night they are getting a gut full of buckshot no questions asked. If Zimmermans life was in peril he was within his right my problem with the situation is that he shouldn’t have put himself in the position. > [@290 - Cop Warning 5/28](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/290-cop-warning-5-28/48810/20): > > So, he can carry a gun, but when hes doing neighborhood watch things, and has a higher chance of coming upon some illegal activity, and possibly danger he should keep the gun home. Most people with a conceales carry permit ALWAYS carry…thats kind of the point. So any citizen with a CCP can start a neighborhood watch and go around assisting in the enforcement of laws??? There is a reason why cops have uniforms and open carry. Seems like your stuck on your view point and don’t want to see anybody else’s. Should the kid have assaulted the guy no, but the guy shouldn’t have inflamed the situation and chased the kid which resulted in the kids death. > [@Reccomend me a Cell Phone Company...](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/reccomend-me-a-cell-phone-company/48839/28): > > What are the odds of a young punk single handedly jumping an adult male in the middle of the night? > > There was no way Zimmerman was minding his own business and got jumped. > > He put himself into the compromising situation by looking for trouble. > > If he got jumped by a group of punks in the middle of the night I could see him shooting them all for self defense, here you go out looking for trouble, you’re gonna get it. > [@most SCENIC road in wny](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/most-scenic-road-in-wny/48851/21): > > 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. Holy crap for once I agree with Vlad > [@5/23:I know a lot of you fggts are going to the track day tomorrow, come fckin party.](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/5-23-i-know-a-lot-of-you-fggts-are-going-to-the-track-day-tomorrow-come-fckin-party/48872/7): > > happens all the time… > > the information about trayvons record is accurate I think it speaks for itself. He didn’t like being followed and potentially caught in whatever he was doing so he fought the guy…if he felt threatened he should have made an attempt to call the police until he HAD to defend himself. Where is his 911 call saying “some random guy is following me…im running away” So your saying that every kid with a few minor infractions on their record is a violent criminal and deserves to be shot? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/neighborhood-watch-leader-shoots-fl-teen/263127)._
