Everyone's talking about this. Here are my two cents.
George Zimmerman made the wrong choice to shoot Trayvon Martin. If he was in fear for his life, but he could see Trayvon was only fighting with his fists, why didn't Zimmerman fire a warning shot first? Or shoot him in the leg? Why did he shoot to kill?
Americans have a 2nd amendment right to own and carry deadly weapons. They should also have a responsibility to pay the price when they use the weapon. You use the gun, you pay the price. Even if you think that's your only choice. You saved your life, great. Now the price to save your life is that you have to live in prison for an amount of time. Not life, not even 20 to life, but some period of time.
At least, though, you have a life to resume. You killed a person and they don't have any life to resume.
Bottom line, we shouldn't have had any trial because he knows he shot Trayvon and there's no disputing that. In my world, the only reason there may have to be a trial is to determine the length of the sentence...it could be longer if there was premeditation or cruelty or intent.
That's what I think.
Let's just get rid of guns. That would solve a lot of problems.
