"Zimmerman is screwed for life...He wil not be able to surface for a long time..."

He's a "dead man walking". Can't show his face on the streets, would last maybe 5 minutes in jail or prison unless isolated.

"He screwed up."

That has yet to be proven with other factual and relevant evidence.

Fact: he disregarded the dispatcher who said, after he answered affirmatively that he was following Martin, "Okay, we don't need you to do that." (A polite way of saying, "Stay the hell away from the guy.")

Fact: he disregarded Neighborhood Watch guidelines about not making contact with a "suspicious person" by leaving his car and making contact.

You have a point, but my point was my opinion...Based upon the results of his (Zimmerman’s) actions, there is no dancing around the subject that a person lost their life due to “his” diligence, or whatever you want to call it...

These were accidents waiting for an intersection to happen...

AS I have said before, having a CCW in a state that has a “no duty to retreat” law in place DOES NOT WARRANT OR COMMISSION YOU TO ENFORCE, INVESTIGATE OR DETAIN another actor you suspect of criminal intent or be caught in the act of committing a crime...

There are provisions in some state laws that do allow for third party intervention up to and the use of deadly force if you reasonably believe it is immediately needed to stop that crime...

That’s why I believe Zimmerman screwed up...He may have been right to be in contact with lawful authority, but you have to realize, once you do that the situation becomse fluid real fast, and if you are in pursuit or following a suspect, and are told to disengage, I would highly recommend you do so...

That CCW license does not give you anything but protection under the provision of that states law to carry in public a firearm for lawful self-defensive purposes...It is not something that you should intend to be using (in any other capacity) unless it is absolutely necessary...

Zimmerman did do something right though...He observed, and gave Law Enforcement the information needed for them to do their “commissioned” job...

He’ll end up like Joe Horn here in Texas who used to live not too far from us when he stopped two burglary suspects on their way out of his nieghbors house carrying the nieghbors valuables...He was no-billed by a Grand Jury, which is what Zimmerman is going to have to answer to...

I am eager to see the outcome of this...And the facts to be made public...
