Can’t the fists of a 17 year old MMA fighter being used to pound your head into concrete be used to kill you too?
I agree with the sentiment widely expressed that self defense (outside the home ) goes completely out the door if Zimmerman is convicted.
1. According to the timeline, Trayvon hit Z in the face while they were standing up. I would hope to shoot him before he got me down on the ground and started banging my head against concrete. He could kill me by doing that and it wouldn't take many slams on the concrete to do it.
2. You say if he's convicted, self defense outside the home goes away in the country because the legal system would put you in prison for defending yourself. THAT WON'T HAPPEN IN TEXAS. If I lived in a blue state, I would call a mover today. They need advance notice of a move so they can schedule it. Then, I'd call a real estate agent in Texas where I decided to move.
Honestly, the country is toast and every conservative needs to concentrate on self preservation and do what is necessary to insure their future freedom.
