 Got plenty of those too.   Dave

Depends...always remember.....not every fight is a "gunfight". Most likely I would, depending on the situation. However, I have several bad habits I need to explain;  1. I have a very bad habit of following rules and policies and do everything I can not to violate those polices. 2. I have a real bad habit (not now that I'm retired) of observing people and making the proper decisions on handling a suspect or situation, and wait for assistance most of the time. Nothing wrong for waiting for backup. 3. I also have a real bad habit of not sticking my nose where it doesn't belong. 4. My "pet peeve" bad habit is....NEVER bite off more than you can chew, pick your fights, and use everything to your advantage. You know, RIGHT TIME, RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TECHNIQUE and last but not least, RIGHT TOOL. Lethal/Less than Lethal. Mainly minding your own business works real well. And not confronting someone. 5. Then use a your gun if you failed in all the above. 6. I weigh 181 pounds. I'm pretty damn sure I could man handle a 140 lb beanpole unarmed teenager. Period.   Now to be more direct.... If I'm walking through the walmart parking lot and some POS anti-cracker tends to do me, my family or my dog harm.....well..... Now If I take off across the parking because I'm chasing someone who looks like a shoplifter or their up to no good, something wrong with them ect, ect, and that person issues me an ass whoop'in.....I have absolutley no right to shoot that person. See # 3 above. Observe that person from your vehicle, and report their activities to police. I have earned all the HERO awards I want. Don't need or want anymore.   Again; Zimmerman is the one on trial. Not me. I've made all the RIGHT decisions in my life! Just the way it is...   Shock and Awe/Ground and Pound   Dave

Maybe...    Dave

And then....so.....he shot him.   Dave S

Seems our boy Zman was taking MMA training 3 days a week. According to his doctors testimony anyways. And a 140 lb kid kicked his azz? I hope he gets his money back!   Dave

Not sure about Florida law, but could that be an option offered to the jury when they receive their instructions from the court right before they deliberate?     Dave

Spots, that's all the world needs Bro...A crazy azz hammer swinging cracka'!!!   lol    Dave

?    Dave

Just participating in a public discussion on a gun forum. My opinion is just that....my opinion. If he did wrong then convict him. If he didn't, let him go. Means nothing to me. I don't have his problems....  ;)  :cry:   Dave

Aggravated Manslaughter popped into my mind since the victum was under 18. I'll have to research the particulars of that offense. Again, that was the first thing that popped in my mind.   Dave

The witnesses that have testified already, says the NW persons are instructed to observe and report, NOT to follow. A major city means nothing. We're talking about Sanford Florida. What does the Sanford PD say?   Dave

  ^^^^This.    Dave

He followed a 17 year old, and allowed that 17 year old armed with only a sidewalk, to jump out of the bushes and beat his ass with the sidewalk. He "neglected" to exercise his "situational awareness". J/K by the way.......    Dave

   Very well said!   Dave

   I'll play....Lesser crime.   Dave

Ask 6.8...he said it, all I did was agree with him, didn't you read that?  But I'll go ahead and answer; because he'll never be able to live a normal life if he stays in Sanford.   Dave

He'll have to...but how can he hide?     Dave

 I bet he does next time.   Dave

That's one of the funniest things I've heard today! Good one Mike!    Dave

I'm going to go tie some trout flies.....ya'll let me know if I miss something......    Dave

  Exactly!  You beat me to it!   Dave

Ain't that the truth!    Dave

How long will it be before the prosecution puts Zman on the stand? That should be a fireworks show! Just my opinion now...   Dave

There is an audio enhanced version that cleared up background noise and you can hear alot better. But, apparently I shouldn't listen to that one. Thanks again Mike.    Dave

Thanks Mikegideon....I watched it. Good info....   Dave
