The moron is the person who compared Zimmerman to a nobel character in a classic american novel. There is a big difference between someone (Tom)who had no control over the situation that ultimately killed him and a wanna be cop who caused a tragedy. This was too much for me to stomach. BTW, this is a great book and also a great movie with Gregory Peck. (The movie only covers part of the book) Makes for a great movie night with your kids.

You missed my point, you moron.

The state asserts Zimmerman instigated the event, either by getting out of his truck when he didn't need to, etc. You make a similar argument, that Zimmerman instigated the incident - wrongly setting events in motion.

I was taking advantage of a parallel to the Zimmerman/Martin confrontation, in this posting context between you and me. You play the part of Zimmerman by making an unnecessary post, and I play the part of Martin by flaming you for your post. If you hadn't posted, I wouldn't have flamed. Whose fault is the flaming? Yours, for instigating it?

Zimmerman instigating the fight with Martin is like you instigating my insult.

Zimmerman was looking out for his neighbors and neighborhood. And you conclude the blame is on Zimmerman, for causing a tragedy.
