All the way up until he killed an innocent DEFENSELESS 17 year old BOY for walking home from the sotore with his Skittles and Iced Tea....Bad Boy, dealing those candies and drinkin’ that hard stuff...he deserved to be killed didn’t he?
Clearly it was a bad situation that no one would want to happen. Again, based on the little we now know, a man with a gun, who according to you, "was a crazed wanna-be cop", would let a guy close enough to break his nose and cause a cut needing stitches on the back of his head, before pulling the trigger.
It is hard to break a mans nose and smack his head down before the trigger was pulled and be called defenseless.
If Zimmerman is innocent, he should be exonerated, and if guilty, put to trial and convicted. We shall see how it is played out. Either way, it is sad someone had to die, unless he deserved it.
