Should parents be charged when a child uses their gun?

Way to totally miss the point of all of this.

Which is not the whole Zimmerman-shot-Trayvon-because-he's-black argument.

No, the real story here is a wannabe poseur cop who decided to act out his fantasy despite being told by actual cops not to do so and when it turned out he was absolutely unequipped and completely skill-less when it comes to confronting/fighting somebody, he had to kill that person to get out of a situation entirely created by him. Period.

Had the cops been allowed to do their job this NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

I don't know and I don't care if Zimmerman is a racist. What is indisputable is that he is a laughable buffoon and clown... and, hey: let's give all those people guns! So people have to die because of their bad decisions! Yay!

Where do I sign up?

Here's where people should sign up: for a BASIC SELF-DEFENSE CLASS. And guess what will be the FIRST thing they teach you? To NOT GET YOURSELF INTO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. Which Zimmerman did and it was utterly and completely unnecessary--and he was told that and yet did it anyway.

But let's support this complete bozo because it's the FOX thing to do!

Adam Pollock, a gym owner and a trainer in the mixed martial arts and its component disciplines, testified that he had taught the "physically soft" Zimmerman some elementary grappling, boxing and conditioning classes for about a year. He said Zimmerman was a "rank beginner" whose overall skills he would rate as "point-5," less than 1 on a scale of 1-to-10.

After a year.


IT'S OKAY JUST GIVE HIM A GUN. DERP DERP.

Sorry but you can't get away from that.

The issue here wasn't black/white, the issue here was that this loser took it upon himself to try and be a cop and--if you believe his story--was so unequipped that he had to kill somebody to get out of a situation that he created entirely by himself. Why did he even get out of the car?

And yet all these people who allegedly are all about "personal responsibility" are defending this imbecile. Hilarious.

Nice nice. I know the type all too well (also from that never ending fountain of self righteous indignation, law school).

It was amazing to me that ostensibly progressive people were so eager to throw out the principle of innocent until proven guilty in the Zimmerman case. Don't get me wrong, I think he's guilty and deserves to be in jail over this, but my opinion of what he deserves isn't what matters. Proving guilt on a court of law is. And t wasn't proven.

The case was decided right, based upon the known evidence and SYG laws.

However, SYG laws are retarded, and in any other country, Zimmerman would have been found criminally responsible for his recklessness.
