It's terrible that this trial was focused on race. I really believe that race had nothing to do with this incident.

The real issue should be focused on idiots who shouldn't have firearms. Zimmerman is an idiot, plain and simple.

He should have stayed in the car and waited for the police. Instead, he had his trusty gun, his confidence booster, and decide to try and play hero. And because of this, a person is dead.

It's called Neighbour hood Watch. Sit in your car and keep an eye on the kid. Wait for the police. Then go on your way.

At the very least there is negligence here. I'm a visible minority, but I'm not American, so I don't live in fear of accidentally stepping on the wrong persons lawn, and having a gun pointed at me. So for all I care, Americans can all have guns. But there has to be some caution exercised when armed.

Simple solution, gun user responsibility.
