If Zimmerman is convicted, I believe it will cast the entirety of the American “justice” system into doubt. Any normal, sensical human being can see this is a clear-cut case of self-defense. If Zimmerman is not acquitted, it will prove that the courts and juries can be “bought” with threats of violence.
On the other hand, if he’s acquitted, I won’t gain much respect for our legal system, it’s already a joke, but at least I will know that I can continue to walk this Earth without fear of prison for defending myself or my family.

You may avoid being found guilty, but you can't avoid "the ride". The new standard is "Punishment first, then the trial." Have a nice life comrade.
Perhaps... but you'd best steer clear of certain parts of town, and be alert everywhere else.

Andrew has written a book concerning self defense laws across the country. I purchased a book from his blog (where he often tweets out discounts) and am looking at purchasing a couple more for friends.
Very instructive especially considering the ordeal that Zimmerman has unjustly experienced.
