Quote from CaptainObvious:
The whole truth will elude the MSM and political pundits alike. My take so far. We have a trigger happy wanna be cop who ran into a wanna be gangsta, and neither were prepared for what can happen in the real world. It's pretty obvious that little Tray wasn't so innocent a kid and Mr. Zimmerman had no business with a gun in his hand.
The moral of the story is that neighborhood watchmen should be doing just that, watching, not shooting. The flip side is that if you want to dress like a gangsta, talk like a gangsta, act like a gangsta, then you're probably going to end up where most gangsta's end up. That would be dead or in jail. Now I know in a perfect world we should not be judged by how we dress or talk, but that ain't how it plays out in the real world, and we all know that.
The sad truth is that this is what happens when pretenders run in to each other. Shit escalates, neither were prepared and lives are lost and ruined forever. That reality is what we should be teaching our youth, not some fantasy world B.S.
And yes, Zimmerman needs to do the time for the crime, which appears to be Manslaughter.
