If I may cut in... This is the very reason that neighborhood watch people are encouraged NOT to carry weapons and to ONLY call police and to NEVER intervene unless absolutely necessary. None of it was needed. Why has he never followed anyone else?
Neighborhood watchmen, like any man, should have a gun. The watch manuals say not to carry a gun, just so the manual's author or the watch organization can avoid liability.
Zimmerman would be dead, or nearly dead, if he didn't have a gun. But, because he had a gun, not only did he protect himself, he prevented hundreds of future crimes by taking out a piece of shit. And, he has helped to make other criminals think twice before attacking someone.
Zimmerman is a hero.
Trayvon is a zero.
