Kane, I agree no middle ground. For the most part I believe everyone should have their day in court. My issue with Zimmerman supporters is that most of them support him just cause he killed a black kid. I don't want to get into a racial back and forth but I have read, spoken and watched commentary of supporters and it makes zero sense.
The other day a friend of mine posted a story about a white girl getting raped by 5 black guys and then she wrote "Why isn't this an issue like T. Martin". It pissed me off cause I think to myself BOTH are tragedies!!! Somehow people want to belittle the fact a young man was killed who did absolutely nothing wrong.
If he beat up Zimmerman, I'd say it was well deserved. Most of us would defend ourselves if some idiot was following us around and eventually approached us. Truth is Zimmerman was going to use his gun some day in his life, no matter what. Unfortunately for Treyvon it happened to be on him.
Most people buy guns for protection, others buy them to flaunt them and act tough. Zimmerman is a perfect poster boy for someone who shouldn't own a gun. The gun gave him a set of balls to go looking for trouble that wasn't there and it cost someone their life.
