re: #556 Obdicut

That would be first degree murder. I think he brought the gun with him because “these assholes always get away” and he hated “fucking coons” and who knows, the kid might have a knife or an Uzi, and if push comes to shove I’ll be ready.

I don’t think he went after the kid to kill him. I think he toted the gun, knowing there was a possibility he would use it. And a couple boo-boos on the noggin do not justify shooting someone.

There were so many other things Zimmerman could have done but didn’t do. Even if he was jumped by Trayvon (which, in the light of the call between T and his girlfriend seems unlikely), killing the kid was unnecessary. You can push off the kid and run. You can kick the kid in the nuts and wait for the cops. You can overpower this kid with your bulk and try to calm him down. But unless the kid was standing over you with a boulder, ready to crush your skull, shooting him was not necessary.

And, in my opinion, he did it because it was a black kid and he thought he could get away with it.

He may yet.
