Why did you add, "Worse than it sounds?" This is a BS article especially the following:

A decade ago, neither Green nor I knew to warn about the likes of George Zimmerman. He was no cop, despite his fancy notions of himself as a civilian enforcer. Instead, he was empowered by a law cooked up by the National Rifle Association and a certainty in his right to pursue an unarmed teenager who fit his description of a suspect. Some warned that this could happen, but we all should have seen it coming.

You answered your own question.

I don't have the story any more but I do love this picture. 79 year old Detroit resident Willie White demonstrates the shotgun technique he used to "de-porch" a thug who kicked his front door open while Willie watched a Pistons game.

Willie stood his ground without even standing up.

So he felt empowered... and was acting within his rights... and the author spins this into evil... even though they would celebrate it and excuse it if the victim were white.
