I don't think 'stand your ground' proponents accounted for wanna-be cops who after a year working out in a MMA gym still can't throw a punch, on neighborhood patrol.
In a chicken or egg argument did Zimmerman target Trayvon because he was a racist profiling or using statistics? I have no clue as to the racial makeup of criminals in Sanford but in Chicago young black males between 16-30 account for 70% of murder offenders yet they make up under 10% of the population. Sometimes the facts aren't PC. Tragically in Chicago African Americans also account for 75% of murder victims.
That said, Zimmerman should have left the gun at home when on patrol and used his cell to call police. Or better yet, just stayed at home, with his gun protecting himself and family from potential intruders. Much less likely to make a mistake.
The media's continuous race baiting during and now after the trial ignores the fact that what they consider racist America currently has an African American President heading up the country and a African American Attorney General representing the country in legal matters.
BTW Because it was an all-women jury do you think they can/will change their minds? (That was a joke people)
