Call the police if you see someone suspicious or you see a crime happening. How could a country empower weekend warrior whackjobs as judge, juries and executioners?

Didn't you post almost the same thing several pages back? A civilian cannot shoot anyone dead because they are afraid of them, but they are allowed to shoot them if it saves their own life.
Zimmerman called the police and appeared to handle the situation pretty well, until he basically got attacked by the teen. The teen committed the crime, not the 'weekend warrior'.
I would prefer to live in a country where the citizens can defend themselves.
And by the way, you may want to read up on the case because based on your post you know nothing about it.
