“...We don’t kill completely unarmed people...”
Sure we do.
If a 6-foot person is sitting on your chest, beating in your face with his fists and you have a gun in your holster, are you going to let him kill you OR are you going to save you life?
The police made a determination based on evidence at the scene, on 911 calls and eye-witness accounts.
I suspect this whole tragedy could have been avoided if Mr.Martin had used common sense, stopped, and chatted with Mr.Zimmerman. Mr.Zimmerman has, as a member of community watch, a history of informing the Sanford police of questionable or suspicious activity in that gated community. He does not, as far as I can ascertain, have a history of violent confrontations, something community watch folks are warned against doing.
If you go to the City of Sanford’s online site, the telephone calls are all there as well as a report from the City Manager, Norton Bonaparte

Note: I’ve known for a year that the BHO2 administration was going to stir up a race war this coming summer. Anything that can be used to divert attention away from Obama’s atrocious record will be used. We are now getting a taste of it. If George Zimmerman is seized by a black mob and lynched, the result will not be good for BHO2 or this nation.

You hit the nail on the head my friend. Most of my gun owning buddies said they would use this a s a push to put further bans on owning weapons.
I’m glad I got my CCW last year.
Actually, I think race riots are the last thing he wants. And that is why he jumped in. The best outcome for him is the Feds being able to throw Zimmerman in prison on some technicality. If Zimmerman goes scot-free (as he probably should, given the local assessment of his lack of culpability), the odds are non-zero that Rodney King style riots could ensue. And that would probably result in a GOP landslide in November, no matter who is nominated.
