Almost anyone reading this can carry a handgun legally, and the KelTec Pf9 is the lightest and thinnest 9mm making it easy to carry, and new ones sell for under $279.
Good enough to stop someone from beating you to death.
Surviving is also a life-altering event.
A number of incidents happened as a consequence of the media firestorm over this case, where black people attacked whites to show their anger...did any of those attacks result in someone being killed?
I thought Martin was in possession of burglary tools?

The media saw the name Zimmerman and assumed he was a typical white man...may have thought he was Jewish because Bob Dylan's real name is Zimmerman. They wanted to believe that he was an evil white Southern man going after an innocent black teenager because they want to believe that the South is full of white racists, so they shaped the news to fit their narrative.
Not a mention of if being used in self defense or that Z was getting the crap beat out of him.
Yep. Something that the folks in the military have to deal with. Ditto for the police.
We sometimes take for granted the tough decisions that other people have to make on our behalf.
