(80,699 posts)I could not, for the life of me, see him excused from this having done nothing wrong. He MURDERED that kid. MURDER. And I don't care if it was a paltry four minutes as his lawyer tried to diminish things. Four minutes was plenty long enough for him to decide ahead of time that yet another "fucking punk" was going to go down, and he was gonna make sure of it, because as we all know, "they always get away." He determined the minute he spotted Trayvon that he was personally gonna make sure this "fucking punk" wasn't going to get away. There was enough time for a little premeditation before the fact, the way I see it. I don't care if you plot for two years ahead of the killing or four minutes. He decided he was gonna take this "fucking punk" down and make sure he wasn't one of those who "always get away." Open and shut.
I would not have given in. Zimmerman is a certified menace to society. He didn't just have a loaded gun. He WAS a loading gun - just itching to go off so he could be John Wayne or Clint Eastwood or Rambo. Zimbo, maybe.
