[Vision2020] Zimmy beams as he tours gun factory

[Joe Campbell]

I said it was closer to hunting than self defense. It was. And Martin was a kid; Zimmerman was not. And Martin is dead. Maybe that is why no one is blaming him. 

Did Martin make a mistake? Apparently -- but really we don't know that any more than we know why Zimmerman did what he did. But Martin paid a hefty price for his mistake. Zimmerman did not. That's why folks are upset.

Following someone down a sidewalk is not the same as "hunting" a person.  We have exactly zero evidence that Zimmerman followed Martin in order to kill him.
