re: #226 Targetpractice

You’re right, but in the decision-making process in evidence, there’s nothing that says that Zimmerman purposefully armed himself before giving chase. Instead, he was already armed when he first noticed Martin and gave the gun no time for thought during his running narrative to 911, or when he climbed out of his car.

Which may be why a charge like reckless endangerment or negligent homicide would make more sense. But I’m not really fond of vigilantes, and a guy who engages in pursuit of non-suspects with a loaded gun is a vigilante.
