If Zimmerman is found guilty, it will be appealed and whether it is dismissed or not all you right wingers who complain about such legal things It has NOTHING to do with being "rightwing" or "leftwing".. Unless you're going to frame it in an argument that's completely against the 2nd amendment of the Constitution. People have a right to defend themselves. If Zimmerman's injuries are as reported (and it begs the question as to why it's taken so long to reveal this), he had every reason to believe he was in danger. It doesn't take that much for a any assailant to kill someone, even if they don't have a weapon. If I'm pounding your head on the sidewalk, as was reported, that's aggravated assault. That gives ANYONE the right to use deadly force to defend themselves. Believe me, if Zimmerman had been pounding Martin's head against the sidewalk, I'd have defended his right to shoot Zimmerman dead.. Again, it's a fundamental right of every American to have the right to defend themselves, and other people, against aggravated bodily harm. If deadly force is the only way they feel they can assure preserving themselves and others from such harm, then so be it. Hawk

I notice you use the FIRST name for 'Trayvon.' But the LAST name for Zimmerman. Is that a lefty attempt to make your Trayvon up close and personal--and "Zimmerman" far away and impersonal? You lefties are pathetic.
