There is a line where deadly force is called for and one where it isn't. I don't know what went down, but I find it somewhat difficult to believe that a 130lb kid was a huge threat to what looks to be a pretty stocky dude (Zimmerman). Especially a threat to the point that Zimmerman felt that his life was in danger. I just have a really hard time believing that.
People who I have known who are martial arts experts (for example) have a slightly different standard for when deadly force is okay to use. They can easily kill someone during a simple barfight, and from what I have heard (from these individuals), if that happens they could be found guilty of a crime. People carrying around a gun need to have that same expectation. If someone punches you, it's not okay to turn around and just shoot that person for doing so. There are still lots of unknown details, and I really don't think there is much more for us to know at this point. It's going to be a he said / she said situation. -Cameron On Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 2:52 PM, LRS Scout <lrssc...@gmail.com> wrote: > They were in the open and in public. > > You have no expectation of privacy in public. > > You also don't have the right to assault anyone. > > So, maybe it's messed up, but that's the way it would work yeah. > > *IF* the kid actually assaulted the guy this case is totally different than > what the media, his family, and all these celebrities are making it out to > be. ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:349084 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
