I don't know. This Trayvon thing seems to be CONSUMING America

[Kaleva]

75. And you might want to look at my posting history on this subject.

I've stated that if Zimmerman had followed his training and did what the police dispatcher told him, Trayvon would be alive today. I've said that the SYG law sucks and the citizens of Florida ought to work to change it. I've even started a thread where I said that Zimmerman was a vigilante and not a Neighborhood Watchman.

Here's a link to that thread:

You didn't post in it but may have read it. What is your opinion on what I said? Would you give it a rec?

Your comment:

"What I can't believe is that there are ZM defenders on DU
Who are these people who think it "might" be justified for a guy with a gun to kill an unarmed teen?"

I can't read minds but even then I've not had the impression that the poster was thinking that it "might" be justified for a guy with a gun to kill an unarmed teenager.

I've seen several members, and I'm one of them, who have pointed out that the SYG law in Florida makes this a complex matter. I'm also of the opinion that if this had happened in any number of other states, Zimmerman would be in jail right now facing at least a manslaughter charge.
