Based on this information, it is hard to see this as a premeditated murder. Zimmerman clearly acted out of bounds and should have followed the advice of the police and not confronted Martin.

I don't think it was premeditated either. But it does appear to be an unnecessary death. I walk armed any time I walk, and frankly, when I see yutes in hoodies I stay extra vigilant. However, not all hoodie wearers are gangbangers.

I just think conservatives rallying around Zimmerman makes us look like the "Free Mumia" libtards.

We should run in the opposite direction from Zimmerman - there is nothing there that has anything whatsoever to do with conservatism. This is NOT what the 2nd amendment is about. In fact this reminds me of “Fast and Furious” i.e. a cause that can be used to diminish our 2nd amendment rights by the left.

It is not a matter of rallying around Zimmerman, but rather, not rushing to judgment. Zimmerman was part of a neighborhood watch group. It was formed in response to crimes being committed there. Zimmerman called the police to report the suspicious person in the neighborhood, which Zimmerman was trying to protect. He apparently failed to follow police instructions not to follow Martin. What prompted the confrontation needs to be ascertained.

Until we have all the facts, we shouldn't be joining Sharpton and Scarborough claiming that it was a murder. Nor should we fuel the flames to incite groups that threaten to come to Florida for retribution to mete out their own justice.
