(10,303 posts)I do happen to be a (very) white guy short of 40... but where I'm from, if a gun is used in an otherwise unarmed combat situation, the guy who pulled the trigger should face some repercussions. Not some stand your ground laws... to me this looks like a disproportionate fight, no matter who started it. And for the guy that pulled the trigger to express no remorse at all just makes me sick.
Mr. Zimmerman had better watch himself, because the court of public opinion has cast judgment that is opposite of the trial court verdict. He may have been found not guilty of murder or manslaughter in the court but IMO he is not innocent in the death of Mr. Martin. I do believe that someone may take justice into their own hands... no matter what the outcome, in the fight between Mr. Martin and Mr. Zimmerman - no-one won. Both lost, especially Mr. Martin.
