You might as well say that getting out of bed that morning started the chain of events.
You know what I'm saying.
And you could also argue that the MISTAKE Trayvon Martin made by deciding to kick the "crackers" ass was the one that led to him being shot.
And as I said...for arguments sake...let's say that YOU had the sheer audacity to get out of your car and follow behind someone else in YOUR neighborhood to supposedly start the chain of events.
Now...for whatever reason (and it don't take much for a young testosterone-driven man), this guy starts beating the hell out of you.
Would YOU just lay there and get beaten? Or would you pull out your gun and blow them away?
That was my question. Because I've seen Rochard and several others post over and over how GZ was "just" getting beat up in a fistfight.
And I'm pretty sure, that if I were to jump on Rochard....get the better of him, and start beating his face in, that in the heat of the moment he would 100% shoot me if he had a gun.
That's what the gun is for.
I'm guessing that a lot of people in 2013 wouldn't have lasted very long in this country in the "old days".
I was just watching "Pawn Stars" and a guy had a signed check from Aaron Burr.
It reminded me that in society we used to demand respect and courtesy from people. And if you didn't get it...you demanded "satisfaction": A duel.
So the Vice President of The United States Aaron Burr had a LEGAL duel with pistols with the Secretary Of The Treasury Alexander Hamilton (the guy on the $20 bill) and KILLED him.
My how times have changed in regards to the gun laws, self defense, and even just saying "Hey, I don't like you...let's duel to the death"
Can't you imagine the death toll on GFY if dueling were still legal?
