Zimmerman is guilty of involuntary manslaughter, at most

181. C'mon, Uzair '...a paranoid gun freak like most Americans'? That won't wash. Most people don't stalk

and most people are not paranoid, media fantasies to the contrary.

Watching paranoid RWNJs on TV or listening to them on radio or other venues, with Glen Beck and Alex Jones being the top of the list, is still not 'most people' although those who can get talked into being afraid of every thing that moves. You can say those names to most people and they will just go 'Doh?'

Other than some who are into political discussion, Ron Paulies, Libertarians and RWNJ GOPs... Wait, same animal.

Most people have not got a level of media induced paranoia to anywhere near what we might say that Z had, if he did.

There are so many things that prove he was not in paranoid, or at least not a very wise paranoid, that night. The man's record is that of a bully. His targets in the past were women, gnerally and not grown men. He was accustomed to having his way and had been getting away with it no matter what.

Paranoid people don't start confrontations. They don't get out of the safety of their vehicles. They don't follow people they are afraid of. Nope, they really don't.

It's not logical, which is a whole 'nother game than being rational.

Z went after TM since he thought he was entitled to do so. Feeling entitled is not paranoid, it's a sign of feeling powerful over another human being, or animal, or whatever. They simply do not match.

As much as I agree with some of your posts, this reeks of giving a pass to someone who doesn't deserve one. Although I don't care what they end up convicting him of.

Murder, manslaughter, negligent homocide, stalking, menacing or even terminal stupidity. I want him removed from society so that if it does happen again, it won't be from this character.
