Lawmakers line up for prosecution, investigations of Zimmerman

3. I don't see this as a "Stand Your Ground" problem

A nut job toting a gun and trying to act like a police officer is the problem here. The other problem is that he wasn't prosecuted from the beginning. This was a murder, plain and simple, carried out by an individual that obviously has issues. He should have been arrested on the spot.

I don't think it is fair at all to lump every gun owner or every person that "Stood their ground" in the same category as this guy. If anything, maybe at the very least some good can come out of this horrible tragedy by reminding people of the limits they have under the law in "Stand your ground" situations. That's not much, and it's horrible that this young boy was murdered, but at least we are starting a national conversation about what you can and can't do just because you own a fire arm.

There really also needs to be a discussion of what people can and can't do under the guise of "Neighborhood Watch". A Neighborhood Watch should watch - they aren't authorized to run around being a private militia.
