The Big Bad Wolf.
Except Travon was not INNOCENT. He set out to attack and probably kill Zimmerman for the offense of, gasp, following him while he cased the neighborhood.That Zimmerman wasn't arrested in this incident has no bearing whatsoever on the right of private citizens to express their opinions – and justified concerns – about Zimmerman, a fellow private citizen, who is not immune to criticism in the context of private society merely as a consequence of his celebrity, or perhaps more precisely, his infamy.
And just as Zimmerman is solely responsible for his own actions, so too are conservatives solely responsible for their having made a hero of Zimmerman; indeed, most on the right lack the courage to admit that they are just as concerned Zimmerman will do something stupid, injuring or killing another innocent person, dreading the embarrassment they'll sustain accordingly, where conservatives will be proven once again to be wrong.
Basically? Mr. Martin was innocent.
He didn't "set out" to "attack" George Zimmerman.
He was being pursued by an Armed Individual at night. That individual, who with no legal authority to do so, confronted and engaged Mr. Martin.
And Mr. Martin defended himself, as was his right to do so.
What happened in the Florida courts was a disgusting breach of the Justice system.
