SHE EXISTS !!!

Heh. I’m trying to get a handle on this whole situation.

There is evidence, apparently, that Trayvon did some damage to Zimmerman. But I keep wondering what the hell Zimmerman was doing patrolling his neighborhood with a gun, and leaving his car with it to chase somebody down? Our sheriff’s office tells us to CALL THEM right away if we see anybody suspicious; they have units in this area and can get here quickly, and THEY check ‘em out. And NOBODY here goes out “patrolling” in their cars. We just keep watch on our neighbors’ homes from our own homes.

On the one hand, there are folks who seem to be supporting Zimmerman’s actions. On the other hand there are folks denouncing Zimmerman’s actions.

I’m leaning toward Zimmerman being an overzealous idiot, resulting in him killing this young man for no reason whatsoever, other than he didn’t like him being in the neighborhood, where Trayvon had every right to be.

But I sure don’t see that the “stand your ground” law applies to Zimmerman’s actions in any way. If anything, it applies more to Trayvon’s actions, making the whole thing even more senseless and tragic than it was before (if that’s possible).

Thinking out loud here; please, nobody jump all over me for not following anybody else’s particular train of thought on this.
