I wonder what people here on GFY would do under the same circumstances.
You've already made the "mistake" of having the audacity to get out of your own car and follow a guy on a public street that you are part of the neighborhood watch.
Now...you start getting the shit beat out of you and you have a gun.
I wonder how many of you would actually just lie there and let Trayvon Martin beat your ass until his arms got tired?
I'm pretty sure that if somebody starts beating the fuck out of me and I have a gun...I'm putting a hole in them. That's what the gun is for. It's the "great equalizer".
I can't help but think some of y'all are being disingenuous when you suggest that GZ should have just allowed TM to beat the fuck out of him. Only a fool would do that.
Better question: What it all the circumstances were exactly the same...except George was a WOMAN.
If it had been Geogette Zimmerman...nobody would be calling Trayvon a "child". He would be known as a "man" and there would be no question that "Georgette" was defending herself when she shot him dead.
