I am satisfied that my gentle nudges have had a good influence on the thread.
Because I live in Texas, I don't think there would be a problem as our law says we can use deadly force if we fear for our life or bodily injury and it doesn't exempt under age sweet baby attackers. An attacker is just that regardless if the attacker is a new born baby or a 150 yr. old one. It's likely a new born and a 150 yr. old won't attack you, but they are not eliminated.
If Zimmerman manages to not be put in prison, he should move to Texas. My county is only 2% black and it's a large county - I seldom see a black man. We have 75% white and 20% Spanish and other varieties make up the rest. Income here is high average and we don't have govn. group housing for low income people. We are the most Republican county in the state so this county would be a good place for Zimmerman. Maybe I should give that info. to MOM. I don't think Zimmerman, if free, is safe in Florida or a number of other states.
