Rochard I do have kids.
And your long winded answer never addressed what I said.
IF your daughter had been "Trayvon" and jumped on a guy and started swinging then yes you would be devastated that she was killed.
BUT...on the flip side, you didn't tell me: If that tall, athletic, black, and unarmed 17 year old was beating the shit out of your daughter and she was armed...would you say that she should just lie there and let him beat her as long as he wanted WITHOUT pulling her weapon and putting a hole in him?
Is that what you are saying? Because that's exactly what you suggested that Zimmerman should have done.
Is that what you would want your daughter to do?
I wouldn't. I'd have my daughter shoot him dead.
Just like George Zimmerman's family are glad he is alive and not TM.
You just don't jump on people and start swinging. There are consequences to actions.
And getting out of your car and walking down a street to keep an eye on somebody at night in a neighborhood that was being robbed over and over is exactly what the "neighborhood watch" is supposed to do.
Every neighborhood watch organization that I have ever seen were on foot walking the neighborhood. I'm guessing the only two reasons that GZ was ever in his vehicle are:
A) He's a lazy fuck
B) It was raining.
But jumping someone and beating them down? That is a crime. And if someone did it to your daughter under ANY circumstance...I would hope she is armed and shoots them.
I guess you would rather she just lie there and get beaten and be a "hero". (in an earlier post you suggested that somehow GZ would be a "hero" if he had just laid there getting beaten...didn't know the bar for "hero" was set so low these days)
