The neighbors called in to 911 that the two were physically fighting. That might be a good enough excuse to use a gun to stop a fight. What say you?
They were physically fighting because Mr. Zimmerman had initiated a confrontation. Let’s say you and I are at a bar, and you say something I don’t like and I throw a punch at you, a fight ensues and you get the advantage. Should I then be able to pull out my firearm, blow you away and then claim self defense?
Generally speaking I’m firmly on the side of those who exercise their Second Amendment rights, but not this time. Mr. Zimmerman clearly lacks the sort of common sense and good judgement that ought to be expected out of a responsible owner of a firearm, and I believe that revoking his concealed carry permit is quite reasonable, given the situation and provided that he is afforded due process.
The fact that a guy is kicking your ass isn't going to be good justification for shooting him to death if you instigated the confrontation. It appears that mr cop wanabee may have done just that. Him out weighing the dead kid by 100 lbs or so doesn't help his case either.
