It's Not That Complicated

28. What if he had been sober behind the wheel and killed him?

Then there'd be no charges, but the kid would be just as dead.

Point is, there are some cases where death happens and nobody is charged.

Zimmerman created the situation? So what? In my view, Zimmerman was trying to do something noble. Trying to prevent his neighbors from being robbed. Put aside the profiling, and isn't that a good thing? Keeping a neighborhood safe from thieves. He did nothing illegal either in profiling Trayvon or in following him. If he did act in self defense, then should he still be charged?

If an unarmed Zimmerman had been beating Trayvon and been shot and killed, should Trayvon be charged with manslaughter? Does being unarmed mean that nobody can shoot you in self defense?
