(53,661 posts)When it all boils down to that, instead of a society where bullying and unprovoked aggression is imagined to be a necessary trait of an adult male, instead of a mental health problem, we'll get some relief. I hope the ACA will in time get us to a system where a mental case such as Zimmerman will not be stigmatized, as he was on psychotrophic drugs for his problems.
He was, and probably still is, much less mature than Trayvon was probably. If he'd had a car and thought something was happening, he may not have been as likely to get out, as most of us would not have done so. Because Martin did not have a record of having a lack of impulse control and violence whereas Zimmerman had a long and ugly one. He was a tragedy waiting to happen, being given adult responsiblity when he was not capable except in the grossest terms considered to be competent to carry a weapon.
