15. since I can't read minds, I see a tragedy, in the classic sense of the word.

I watch this case as a trained and proficient gun owner. I would never be in this situation, but I have an obligation to those I train, and protect, to make sure they learn to avoid it as well.

Zimmerman made legal, but unwise choices at least 3 times in this scenario, why he made those decisions I do not know, but I am not going to automatically attribute them to prejudice. In fact GZ has shown a history of progressive political involvement in his community, must have been setting up his alibi... But hey, we have witches to burn, let's not stop to concern ourselves with any other angles or viewpoints.
