Yes, but if someone asks me to rob a bank with him and I say no and give him a cookie that says "good luck" instead and he murders someone in the bank I'm guilty of murder by association in the US. Or if that's too removed from you, maybe I was just sitting in the car outside and didn't even have a gun or know that the murderer had one. I'm assumed guilty of murder because I was part of the action and helped him get there and in this light, saying that Zimmerman was just stupid seems a bit easy since his actions that were in violation of strict neighborhood watch rules directly lead to the death of a person. More so IMO, than driving an escape car.

My point of course is that the whole guilty by association thing is stupid and you should do away with it. The murderer is the one who pulled the trigger and not the one who stood by and shouted "No, don't do it!" but happened to wear a matching balaclava.

Oh and saying Trayvon was most likely an attempted murderer is pure speculation, many people get beaten up and not killed, you cannot know when he would've stopped because our hero stopped him prematurely and now private prisons will earn less. It certainly wasn't good for the economy man.
