So if you pick a fight and lose you have the right to shoot somebody? It's irresponsible people like Zimmerman that cause the rest of us to lose our rights. Zimmerman is a civilian. Meaning he can report a "suspicious person" and then wait for the police. You cannot have armed civilians out confronting people just because they look suspicious. And the reason? Because you get exactly what happened in FL. People escalating situations with no training on how to manage those situations.
I don't necessarily disagree. However I am saying that we don't have the facts to know Zimmerman started the fight. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. No one knows, and likely no one ever will.
The whole thing is certainly tragic no matter how you look at it. But it may ultimately become one of those tragic things where there just isn't enough evidence to make judgments that are anything more than supposition. I for one am not willing to call someone a murderer based on supposition.
