Nah I just don't go by the laws of this country like a sheep. Law is not the the sole arbiter of what is right and wrong in society. Many laws are unjust and many unjust things are allowed to happen under the law. I've yet to here an argument from a MORAL standpoint how it isn't murder. Willing to listen if you have one instead of just more trolling.

Zimmerman confronted Trayvon with words, Trayvon responded with his fists. Not only did Trayvon initiate the violence but he proceeded to beat Zimmerman while he was down, he then took it even further and began smashing Zimmerman's head into the pavement (potentially life threatening). To make matters worse, Trayvon had even allegedly made verbal cues that Zimmerman was a "dead man" after discovering Zimmerman's
holstered weapon.
Even taking away the last part, erring on the side of caution and assuming that last bit is embellished. You don't need 'laws' to show that Zimmerman was defending his life in that situation.
Are you going to tell me that you would have sat back and let Trayvon beat your head against the concrete until permanent injury or death happened? Is that what you would say the 'moral' thing to do would be if you were in his shoes that night? Don't make me laugh.
Lastly before you say that you wouldn't of gotten into that situation in the first place if you were in his shoes, I don't want to hear it because the situation happened the way it did. Trayvon responded to words with his fists and escalated it even further
all by himself.
@ Malice. Shut up please, I said I'm done with you.
