I was not questioning your manhood, just commenting based on my experience. If you are serious about owning/using a gun for defense you should think about training.

Apples and oranges...comparing a wanna-be presidential assassin to a home owner attempting to engage a target(s) in limited visibility is ludicrous.

The prosecution is somewhat limited by lack of witnesses and death of TM. They had to base a lot on trying to tie in the yells for help, somewhat unsuccessfully, to TM, not GZ. The prosecution will have to wait for closing arguments now to put forth their view. I dont remember if they did this in opening statements.
About as ludicrous as advocating a dramatic change in public policy based on the actions of one madman.
It's difficult for any rational person to conclude that, with GZ having injuries to the back of his head as well as his face, and TM's only injuries aside from the gunshot were on his knuckles, that TM was the one yelling for help. Those injuries suggest that GZ was on the ground, and TM was on top of him. Although theoretically it is possible for the aggressor to be the one on the ground, underneath the person they are attacking, it's not likely. And it's also not likely that an aggressor, on top of the person they are pummeling, would also be calling for help.
To me, the fact that TM's dad said it took him 20 times listening to the 911 call to finally conclude it was his son crying for help is pretty damning.
Lack of evidence for a charge tends to mean there's no charge. This case didn't work that way because of the media.
This case is about race. Let's not kid ourselves. When GZ has to go on national tv and reiterate that he's HISPANIC and NOT white tells us a lot. The media wanted him to be white so bad they could taste the salt on the cracker. Going to lengths of creating a race called "White-Hispanic" is ridiculous. But that's what the media did. Jesse, Al and the other race roadies prematurely loaded up the Shakedown Van and hit the road. Only to find out the big Debbie Downer of GZ wasn't white after all. But Hispanic. OUCH!
This. And I'd also like to see Obama offer another beer summit/teaching moment on this like he did an earlier time he mouthed off on a trumped up racial incident before he knew the facts.
Having an unarmed person, who was simply walking home from a convenience store, shot and killed probably justified a trial.
It certainly justified the police investigation, but it doesn't look like the trial is justified. I don't see the evidence to support that charges. This trial was a political decision.
This prosecutor must be trying to build up career points, because badgering the witness really doesn't get you anywhere with the jury...
