(62,325 posts)'In what way are the people here not ordinary citizens'. By asking that question, you avoided answering the question I asked.
So, I will ask it again:
In what way does an armed vigilante, with a history of violence, some of it on the record, stalking an innocent, unarmed, teenager, equate to an ordinary citizen. Let me make it simple, were Zimmerman's actions the actions of the average, ordinary citizen. Do most ordinary citizens end up killing innocent teenagers as they go about their daily routine?
You seem very emotionally involved in this case. It's pretty simple really. Had Zimmerman remained in his truck or at least left his weapon in his truck, or been prevented from carrying a weapon considering his violent history, Trayvon Martin would be alive and none of us would ever have heard of him.
But I am really interested in hearing how you equate Zimmerman to ordinary citizens. How many ordinary citizens kill random teenagers while going about their business?
