[quote=Anonymous][quote][b]I'm sorry, but Zimmerman exiting his car is an act of aggression[/b]. He instigated this confrontation. Why didn't he leave his gun in the car?

It's being reported that there were multiple calls made to the police about a fight. These calls haven't been released to the family. Is this routine?

Sadly, this can easily turn into a case where Zimmerman gets off with committing murder. If this happens, I can only hope that street justice takes care of this. [/quote]
Except it's not.  If he got out of the car aggressively and rushed the kid, sure.  But if he just got out and followed the kid?  Nope.  The details matter here.  And unfortunately, per the video, no one saw how or why the fight started.  As the the gun, he had a permit to carry - whether you agree with that or not, and I don't, he's under no obligation to leave it in his car.

My point is, I don't know what happened, and neither do you.  So jumping up and down about how it would be is a travesty of justice if he's not convicted and "gets away with murder" is completely overblown.  And I agree with a PP - hoping "street justice" takes care of this is particularly appalling in this case.  You don't mind vigilante justice if you agree with the perpetrator?  How consistent of you.[/quote]
