Posting an opinion piece and trying to pass it off as news, especially from a liberal newspaper in a very leftist city makes you look like an ass. SUCCESS!Besides, Zimmerman was not supposed to be armed while on watch.
In response to an April 18 letter: (Accused Trayvon Martin shooter George) Zimmerman belonged to a neighborhood watch, which are not suppose to carry a weapon when on the watch. He also was told by 911 to not pursue the young man. He did.
Now think about this. Zimmerman followed Trayvon for several minutes. Now think about this.
Do you think that maybe Trayvon felt threatened by being followed? Did Trayvon stand his ground against an armed man? What would you do if you were where you were supposed to be and were followed by someone you did not know and then find out he was armed? Would you run to maybe get shot in the back, or would you stand your ground to protect yourself against an armed man?
If Zimmerman had just listened to the 911 operator when told not to pursue, Trayvon would be alive, and Zimmerman would not be facing charges.

Zimmerman should have listened to dispatcher advice | The Asheville Citizen-Times | citizen-times.com
Florida law permits ordinary citizens the right to bear arms and to use their weapon if they reasonably believe their life is in danger.
Don't like it? Move to fucking England.
Why do you homegrown terrorists always want others to move?
