re: "Having said that I have a big problem with defending yourself in a fistfight with a gun. The way to defend yourself in a fistfight is with your fists."
And I figure if you're being beaten up in a fight you didn't start, you have every right to defend yourself by any means at your disposal.
There's at least one witness. The jury will hear the witness and will have a chance to decide. Perhaps Trayvon was walking away when he was shot - in which case the gun was unwarranted. But if Trayvon was in the process of bashing Zimmerman's skull in - then the gun WAS warranted.
I don't know how it happened, but I think the justice system should be allowed to decide. Clearly, many people in this country have a problem with that.
Do you suppose it will go over well if Zimmerman is tried and acquitted? Somehow, I think not.
But, relax. Even though the police seem to have considered the case against Zimmerman weak, I have no doubt the guy will be convicted. He's being sacrificed.
