61. I respect all life

I feel sorry for martin and his family and also Zimmerman's. Most people do not have a clue to the self defense laws of their own respective states. I have a son that is 17 and i have told him over and over do not put your hands on anybody. why? because once you do that you may start a chain of events that may put you in the ground and the other person walks. The golden rule do not touch anybody. Some people say well this person deserved this or that and maybe they did. But in the eyes of the law you may have signed your own death warrant.

Lawsuits against who? hrmjustin Jul 2013 #1

If acquitted RGR375 Jul 2013 #17

That stinks! hrmjustin Jul 2013 #19

If found guilty being sued is the least of his problems. RGR375 Jul 2013 #32

Not to mention it is very difficult to collect on a civil judgement in Florida anyway davidn3600 Jul 2013 #73

Zimmerman didn't assert a "stand your ground" defense DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2013 #157

Doubtful the jury will be instructed about that either. JimDandy Jul 2013 #136

That's incorrect DemocratSinceBirth Jul 2013 #148
