Was watching an interview. He's on Hannity. Not sure why family was watching Hannity, as they don't really like him.

...

I understand what's at stake here. I understand how important it is for self-defense laws to stand.

But this guy. THIS GUY.

He just said that he thinks it was "god's plan" that Trevon Martin died that night.

Excuse me. Must rage.

This is what I don't get. Why is Zimmerman's right to self-defense a big deal and Martin's right to self-defense not at issue? Zimmerman was the instigator. The kid was walking home when some nut with a gun confronted him for no reason. Martin had a right to defend HIMself.

I'm right there with you on that.

You can't send people to jail just for being evil self-righteous bastards. And ultimately, while I question defining cement as a lethal weapon justifying escalation to lethal force, I'm not really sure what the outcome here will be. I don't think Zimmerman is "innocent" in the strictest sense of the term, but I'm also not sure he can be convicted.

Trevon Martin was probably defending himself. And probably Zimmerman was, though under the circumstances I think Zimmerman was in the wrong. We'll never really know exactly what happened that night. What I find intolerable is how unapologetic Zimmerman is about a situation that ended in someone dying that by all accounts appears to have been a tragic misunderstanding.

TM was the aggressor. Not GZ.

Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

100% it is so.

I think someone else posted, but my mouse just started scrolling and I missed it. Darn.

He's on trial for 2nd degree murder. I'm sure he was told NOT to apologize, as that may appear to be some sort of admission of guilt, at least in the court of public opinion.

Yeah. It's really the only way to handle it.

Maybe, but in this court of public opinion it seems to have backfired. I was kinda on his side before I heard this. Because I'm against our justice system and the punishments it gives out on principle because it's all corrupt.

But... him saying this actually makes him seem like a really terrible person. And he can't go to jail for that. But I can dislike him a lot.
