To me it doesn't
seem like either people are completely innocent. Just because the guy was 17
doesn't make him an innocent kid, I knew plenty of sketchy 17yo when I was
17. Not to mention his gang related material on his social networks, being out
late, and bein on peoples private property in a neighborhood he didn't live in.
Let's face it, black people are going to paint him up like a little angle who was
completelt pure of sin and never did anything and I highly doubt that's the
case. BUT at the same time Zimmerman, who's not a white guy, had no real
right to pursue him. Sure, he was the neighborhood watch but all he's suppose
to do is watch. And he initiated the confrontation by chasing him, which he
shouldn't of. The real questions boils down to was Zimmermans life in danger?
Just because the kid was 17 doesn't mean he couldn't get one up on
Zimmerman. I've seen some pretty big 15yo. He wasn't fighting a bag of skittles he was fighting a person who was on
top of him fighting him. If Martin had killed Zimmerman he would of
been tried as an adult. Also, being a big proponate of Federalism I
support these defense laws because they are the laws that Floridians
decided to inact. The governemt doesn't make the laws, the people vote
for them. Maybe this part of Florida has a crime problem and guns are
needed for protection. Either eay those the writen laws of that land and
until they change that's how it is.
