The only reason why the case was a big deal was the race thing.
I think the defense won the jury when they pointed out that concrete can be a weapon.

I think you're completely missing what actually happened.
Trayvon Martin went and attacked George Zimmerman and BASHED his head into concrete for 45 seconds.
So, you're telling me, that if you were getting your head bashed in by a 17 year old black male, you wouldn't try to save your life and pull your legally owned gun out?

@(you need an account to see links) I probably would, but would you shoot to kill? That is the real question which you seem to be ignoring. Let's not forget, while it may be self defense and while he was ruled innocent, he still killed someone.
So, let me ask you.
Imagine getting your head bashed into concrete for 45 seconds.
Imagine screaming out for help over and over and having no one coming to help.
Would you be thinking
"Well, let me consider where I should shoot this innocent boy."
Do you think it was possible, while getting straddled, to point the gun somewhere else?

Innocent? By no means am I calling Martin innocent. I'm saying that your defense of Zimmerman is irrational - it may be self defense but it is not okay to kill. And yes, it is very possible. You can shoot him somewhere, anywhere as long as it's not his head or his chest. It's not that hard. Pick a target.
He'll be there all day. Look at how easy it is to not shoot at his head or his chest.

IF what he said actually happened, he has the right to kill if he feels he is in danger. I want you to be in that situation, do you live or do you die because you want to save some "kid's" life?
If I'm in danger and I could die/be hurt badly, my life is more important than the attacker's.

I'm pretty sure I'm reading the same thing as you, he didn't state any facts differently to what you did except that he expressed his opinion that the gun could have been aimed somewhere else?
I've read that the mother was the one who swore she heard Trayvon on the recording. And again, could you please provide us with your source of information/point us in the right direction, since clearly we don't know as much as you do.
