Look guys, the zimmerman case boils down to this, he claims and there is a witness who corroborates that he was on his back screaming for help while getting pummeled by martin. Additionally he claimed his weapon became visible and that martin went for it.

The events leading up to that point are of no consequence, yes you might not agree with how things lead up to it, and it is distasteful to me as well, but it has no bearing on the outcome. There is nothing illegal about following and confronting someone asking them what they are doing. He should not have done it, but it's not illegal.

If you were to believe the above story, you don't have to, but if you were to, then zimmerman would have a credible claim for self defense. No one in this thread knows exactly what happened and there are scenarios that would both lead to him being found justified in SD as well as manslaughter or murder. But again the fact is no one here knows what scenario actually happened.


So how about everyone just shuts the fuck up about it.
