I don't think Zimmerman really intended to kill Trayvon.

109. I don't know how anyone can really know that

when we're not inside his head. Oh sure, it may seem like he doesn't care - but if I've learned anything in my life, it's that people (especially men), don't always show how they feel. They put on an act. I suffer from depression, but if you saw me in real life, unless you and I were very close friends, you wouldn't know because I don't act depressed in front of the world. I joke around and have perfectly pleasant and normal conversations. If someone said I wasn't depressed because I'm not moping around telling everyone how much my life sucks, they'd be dead wrong. They'd only be right about me not acting depressed. Only those very close to me know the truth.

I've seen people eaten up so much by their own guilt that they completely fuck up their lives and sometimes their loved ones' lives. One bad decision turns into a whole series of them and not all will find redemption as the op explains. All too often, they simply self destruct eventually because they cannot or will not get help. Zimmerman very well could be acting out, making bad decisions out of guilt. He also could be an evil bastard who feels no guilt whatsoever. The point is, you don't know which it is with him and to think you do is short sighted.

He's guilty of killing Trayvon and I bet he knows it too. The problem now is he's not choosing the right path and I agree with the op, it will probably end badly for him. It seems to me the guy needs help or prison, or he'll end up in a casket. Time will tell which one happens.
