[QUOTE="soberups, post: 955104, member: 14668"] Different people have different perceptions of the issues involved in this case, and there are many. Guns, race, poor parenting, police corruption or bias....there is something here for anybody with an agenda. I approach this from the viewpoint of someone who, like Zimmerman, holds a carry permit. Ive had one for 15 years and I recently took a training class to get a Utah non-resident permit that is valid in 34 states. I wasnt there. I dont know what happened in the moments prior to the shooting. What I [I]do[/I] know from the training I received in my class is that [I]getting out of his car with the gun [/I]was a [I]critical mistake [/I]that set into motion the chain of events that led to the death of the young man. Maybe Zimmerman was a racist, maybe he wasnt. Maybe Martin was an innocent kid walking to the store to get candy, maybe he wasnt. There is plenty of reasonable doubt here.
