Zimmerman should have stayed in his car. The world can agree on that, but what is done is done. His trial for Martin's death was pure politics (doctored 911 recordings resulting in a fired NBC producer, 12 year old Martin picture, 5 year old Zimmerman mugshot, refusal to air pictures of Zimmerman with injuries by the media, etc...). I have fought with plenty of teenagers, and they are strong and fast. If one of them was on top of me hitting my head into concrete, I would not hesitate to shoot. And when you shoot, you shoot to stop the threat not to wound. The easiest way to stop the threat is to stop the heart or destroy the brain. If anyone thinks having your head bashed against concrete is not deadly force, then ask someone to assist you with some research (pay your lie insurance first though

). Zimmerman is now reaping the benefit of choosing to pursue Martin. Whatever person Zimmerman was before that incident, he came out mentally, spiritually, and financially broken. His celebrity waned and he was left unemployable. Honestly, what business would want to be associated with him.
When you read these articles, understand the difference between probable cause (the minimum standard for arrest) and beyond a reasonable doubt (the standard for conviction). Also, most states have mandatory arrests for domestic violence. In other words, the law comes to you, one of you goes with the law. It is not uncommon for a DA to drop this kind of case since it becomes "he said/ she said." A DA will not take a loser case to trial absent political pressure. I predict Zimmerman will plead out to the property damage and walk free on the aggravated assault (how can it be proved absent a witness or injuries to the victim). Just a humble opinion from your friendly LAWMAN.
