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.

Please stop calling me a moron. And your analogy is obscene to say the least. You are equating a forum for the free exchange of ideas to a situation where ones’ actions led to a death. Words on this forum don’t kill, the most damage done is hurt feelings. We all accept we have things in common and we may have differences. I can argue with you about the neighborhood watch program and how zimmerman violated many of their policies. But that was not my point, I love the book, To Kill a Mockingbird” and I, for the life of me, can not see any connection between Robinson and Zimmerman. And I take exception to anyone trying to argue otherwise. That was all I was trying to say.
