Something really should be happening to this guy. I doubt he had lethal intent, but it's clear that he needs to learn that guns kill people, and that if it hadn't been a black teenager he killed, he would have gotten in a lot of trouble

Sorry, People should learn not to attack people in FL, you will lose your life, doesn’t matter if kid was only going to beat him up. He had the right and he used it. The fact is this only went this far because the kid was black. Nothing more. This should have never went to trial. The law is clear.

so i suppose you completely disregard the fact that zimmerman pursued the kid and initiated whatever conflict they had?

He followed someone he found to be suspicious in his neighborhood he was in his right to do so. In other words it's not illigal. The kid should have just kept on till his dads house, and not snuck up and attacked Zimmerman. 

As a member of the neighborhood watch, he should have known not to follow him as he was instructed to do so by 911. If the situation was reversed and Martin shot Zimmerman because he felt threatened that some strange guy was following home. I doubt you'd feel the same way. As someone that's been followed before, I can't say what I would have done in the same situation. Although going straight home wouldn't have been my first thought, I don't want to lead a potential threat to my place of residence.
