“homicide-negligent manslaughter-unnecessary killing to prevent an unlawful act.”


I know he wasn’t arrested on this charge, but reading about this incident and having not been there makes me wonder about my own reactions. So after much reflection I must say that I too would have pulled the trigger to keep someone from beating my head into the sidewalk.

If I were being attacked the way Zimmerman apparently was, I would have used my gun. But I would never follow a hoodie wearing yute anywhere.

My view is that George waited too long to draw his weapon.

Listening to his father’s recounting of the incident, I would have drawn at the moment I realized Martin was approaching me.

"So after much reflection I must say that I too would have pulled the trigger to keep someone from beating my head into the sidewalk."

Your "much reflection" would have equaled a pulped skull.

Proper self defense "reflection" time: the (very) few milliseconds required to acquire target and fire (with zero consideration time for the color of your assailant)...
