[QUOTE="soberups, post: 955047, member: 14668"] My intuition tells me that Zimmerman did [I]not[/I] set out that evening with the [I]premeditated intent[/I] of killing a young kid for the crime of being black. My intuition tells me that Zimmerman was a somewhat stupid and racially biased gung-ho wannabe cop with otherwise good intentions who displayed horribly poor judgement by choosing to get out of his car with a gun and place himself in harms way [I]despite[/I] being instructed otherwise by the police dispatcher. Things went downhill from there, there was a struggle, and there are multiple and conflicting eyewitness reports as to what really occurred. It is entirely plausible that Zimmerman had a legitimate fear for his life, but only because he was [B]stupid[/B] enough to put himself in that situation in the first place. Now we have extremists from [I]both[/I] sides of the political fence who want to exploit this sad event for their own political agendas. When you cut thru all of the spin and BS, what you are left with is a young, innocent, unarmed kid who got shot by a maroon who made a stupid mistake that he will pay for for the rest of his life whether he gets convicted of anything or not.
