    Who says he was looking for a fight?

    He walked up to someone he didn't know whilst carrying a gun. I don't think he was trying to bum smokes.

    Oh dear Lord. He was walking back to the car, or was he? You're just as guilty of prejudging this case as the others are. Don't try skipping to the back page

    Why was he out of the car?

    The intial story from the Police was more suspicious than subsequent versions - based on the initial story he should have been immidiately charged.

    If he had been immidiately charged those charges might have been dropped by now, or not, the point is that failing to charge him has in every way made the situation worse.

    This is speculation on your part with zero evidence.

    Ugh.

    Look - you have an Anglo-Saxon legal system, when trying this case one of the questions the Judge has to consider is the precedent when interpreting whether Zimmerman was acting in accordance with the law or not.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_..._.281775_on.29

    Common Law is so pervasive that it was the US Supreme Court (in a Common Law judgement) that determined there was no Federal Common Law above State Commone Law.

    So, when I talk about "Anglo-Saxon" principles I am talking about the bedrock of your legal system.
