                            <div>"... he thought he was going to die and
                              defended himself." First, the only
                              evidence you have for this is that
                              Zimmerman said it was so. There were no
                              witnesses to corroborate this. We don't
                              know what happened. My interpretation of
                              the results of the trial is that there was
                              no reason to disbelieve Zimmerman, so no
                              reason to find him guilty. That does not
                              mean that we should believe him. There is
                              no reason to believe him either. The fact
                              is we don't know what happened in those
                              moments prior to the shooting.<br>
                              <br>
                              Second, Zimmerman was out looking for
                              "criminals" like some want-a-be cop,
                              stalked a suspected criminal who turned
                              out to be a boy, called to report it and
                              was advised to stop but didn't do so, got
                              out of his car to follow the "suspect,"
                              then (supposedly) shot the boy because he
                              feared for his life. <br>
                              <br>
                              I'm sorry but if you are not a cop and you
                              leave your house with a gun pretending to
                              "protect" your neighborhood, my sympathy
                              level will drop dramatically should
                              something go wrong. <br>
                              <br>
                            </div>
                            Zimmerman's actions do not sound like
                            self-defense to me. I am not warped by the
                            mainstream media. In fact, I think this is
                            just another example of how fear and guns
                            together are more likely to lead to a bad
                            outcome than a good one. Incidents like this
                            are precisely why we need gun control. Some
                            people are just not smart enough to know how
                            to use guns with the required safety and
                            care. The Zimmerman case proves that. <br>
                            <br>
                          </div>
                          And saying that folks are dupes just because
                          they happen to share some of the views of the
                          mainstream media is no different from saying
                          that you are a racist just because you happen
                          to share some of the views of racists.<br>
