The use of deadly force is "legally" acceptable only as a last resort and it must be both reasonable and necessary to prevent "imminent" death or great bodily harm to yourself or someone else, stand your ground, or otherwise.

The use of deadly force is a serious matter.

How serious you say?

Mr. Zimmerman is now finding out, media or otherwise.

I believe he may be charged with manslaughter, no matter which side you are on. Then let the legal system start its engines.

We all like guns. We all shoot targets, some of us hunt, etc., but the death of ANY human being, will be taken seriously, not just by the court of public opinion, but by legal system, which is not perfect by any means, but its the only system we have.

I feel sorry for Mr. Zimmerman, but had he waited for the police in his car.....not committing a so-called "act of furtherance" by making physical contact with the subject in question, a few extra seconds of patience would have paid off...in droves.

Neighborhood watch means exactly that.

Let the police make the Terry stop.
