I do not support the USA's allowance to carry handguns - but nevertheless,

I've followed this case in the media, as well as on DU.

Anyone that quotes Wiki as gospel does not understand GIGO

I've read extensively on different media, many of my links found here on DU - and googled for others.

Not every injury/death of a black person by a non-black is unjustified.

From what I've read, Zimmerman was fearful for his safety, and considering the laws (which I also disagree with - but the courts must deal with the laws as they stand in that state) what Zimmerman did was legal; maybe not necessary, but LEGAL!

That's sort of sad that, but that's the environment in most of the USA.

Something else most of the gang on DU seem to overlook

THE JURY ACQUITTED HIM!

Not a long drawn out trial like OJ and others, -

cut and dried.

Guess I won a new car too!
