He might have about 10 seconds to explain himself but it would not

Good answer. In 10 seconds you'd probably find he's drunk and in the
wrong house.

Fortunately I have a big yellow dog that handles most of that 10
second interchange. That takes me off of the hair trigger status and
gives me time to assess the situation. I really do not want to shoot a
neighbor's kid, even if he was a burglar but if I felt my family was
threatened, bang bang.

I assume that JPS has never had to deal with a belligerent drunk.

My prior work used to put me in touch with them frequently. And no
one said the kid was beligerent. He was doing what 1000 kids did this
past weekend after too much to drink, they were trying to sneak into
their own houses undetected. Unfortunately this kid wasn't busted by
his parents but an overeager asshole who shot before he could properly
assess the situation.

And now he'll live with the image of having killed someone's child who
meant no harm to him. The kid was just trying to go home.

Sickening and there are plenty of idiots in this group calloused
enough to find justification. This country is ****ing nuts.

I do hope you educate your kids about the perils of breaking and
entering in the nighttime.

No one was breaking and entering. Went through an open window into
what he thought was his own house.

The guy who shot him looks to be a loon. I understand how you might
easily relate to him. Perhaps you should reach out to your fellow
loon in his hour of need.

an overeager asshole who shot before he could properly
assess the situation.

You don't know that at all...


But do make it up as you go along, just like the Zimmerman case... Or
Sharpton/Brawley..

Sorry you didn't like my offer of tea and cookies.

At our house we make it a point to leave no doors or windows unlocked
at night. Anyone entering has already forced their way in, and in my
mind, that is justification enough to open fire. State law agrees
with that position.

Well then, I'm glad you didn't accidently kill one of your kids for
being stupid.

Don't know about your kids but mine are smart enough to not try and
force their way into a house.

Be sure to educate your children about the perils of leaving windows
open at night.

Maybe you could get Harry to come over and educate you and the kids
about how to deal with things that go bump in the night.

My take away from Zimmerman is even if you are right and the shooting
is justified, it still may cost you $300,000 to stay out of jail.



My takeaway is that if you are part of some sort of neighborhood watch,
and you aren't supposed to be "watching" with a gun, well, you shouldn't
be. My takeaway is that if Zimmerman didn't have his gun handy, he
wouldn't have so aggressively pursued the kid and escalated a situation
into a homicide.

Your hero Mr. Zimmerman, possibly a racist, definitely a killer of
young black kids.

It's not clear who escalated the situation. Zimmerman might have been
beaten to death.
