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. <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white'>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.

The Zimmerman case proves that. <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'>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.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white'><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'>On Sun, Aug 25, 2013 at 9:08 AM, Paul Rumelhart <<a href="mailto:godshatter@yahoo.com" target="_blank">godshatter@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><br>I'm not supporting Zimmerman.
