[jonc]

wow!!!

sucks!!!
file charges let jury decide....

[welchy]

Despicable!

[Merc1138]

Sounds like an idiot that decided to play vigilante, should be in jail and let a jury decide what to do with him.

I'm going to go with "not enough info". Article waxes high on "he was a good kid!" and very little on actual details surrounding the incident.

True, but that's what a trial is for.

[DirtyLawyer]

Not enough info. If he claims self defense, this article lacks any helpful info on that legal defense. Sorry for any 17yo shot dead, but more info is needed to determine justifiable homicide or not.

Sorry here, but kid lived in neighborhood, the neighborhood watch should know that. I suspect bad blood from prior incident.

the whole situation sucks. theres no way to know what actually happened unless there was a witness and police wont release that info until the trial if there is one, i feel bad for the family but there are always two sides to every story. the only people who really know what happened are the kid and the shooter

he didnt live there. he was visiting his father. although he probably was there quite a bit which makes pointing it out moot.

Oops focused on this

The family of a 17-year-old African-American boy shot to death last month in his gated Florida community by a white Neighborhood Watch captain wants to see the captain arrested, the family's lawyer said on Wednesday.

The yahoo article conveniently leaves out the fight that six separate neighbors called the police to report. I wouldn't judge anything based on this terrible article.

Let me see, he went to the store for snacks and a drink and decided on the way home he would commit a crime and when confronted with a gun he thought it would be a good idea to attack the shooter with his 2 bags of skittles and tea.
That should teach kids not to walk to the store in the neighborhood without checking with Zimmerman first...
