The ONE guy walking out in the rain had that right. Does he not? Do you believe walking in peoples yards should be a crime punishable by death?

So you have a citizen following another citizen period. Zimmerman was not an official anything that matters legally. If you wanna debate whether or not Trayvon was acting in self-defense or not fine, howeever I can damn well tell you I probably would have swung first as well.

When Zimmerman started losing the fight, he killed him. Could he have ran at that point? No, Oh well, he bit off more then he could chew.
