IF you look at the FACTS of the case and remove the emotion, Zimmerman should walk. He killed an attacker, an attacker that hurled just as much racism as he did. There is no racist motivation , he was attacked, plain and simple, and he killed the attacker. If someone attacks you, and you feel your life is threatened, you have the right to respond with deadly force. Based upon the witnesses saying that he was having his face pummled into the ground, he could have felt his life was in danger, used deadly force, case close.
Now, me personally, I dont think there is ANY 17 year old kid on this planet that could put me in a position where i feel like i have to draw a gun and kill him. But, I always try to diffuse situations , and unlike Zimmerman, I would have NEVER put myself in a position like he did.
I would have called LEO, and waited for their arrival.
Pretty much agree entirely with this. That's my main problem with Zimmerman. He didn't do anything illegal but he escalated a situation unnecessarily and someone lost their life because of it. I think Trayvon responded poorly to the situation also.

Trayvon was a kid (minor), kids do stupid things. Doesnt mean he should be shot and killed. Trayvon may have overreacted and been a thug, but hes 17, Zimmerman should have waited in his car for the proper authorities to show up. Let them deal with the kid.
