For those of you remotely interested in political philosophy, I recommend <b>Moral Politics: How Liberals and Conservatives Think</b> . It's one of the most informative books i've read on the topic. It outlines in great detail, the rationale of liberals and conservatives, through a cognitive science perspective. Of course this book was written in 2002 and we've seen many of the left/right philosophies cross over (most of my philosophies are right, some are left) but this book is a great baseline.

Because it was self defense according to the florida law and stand your ground. Saying he shouldint have gone to court is my bad but he defenitly was not guilty. He had to go to court ofcourse I worded that wrong but he was still not guilty.

So wat up everyone?.What does everyone think of the Zimmerman Vs Martin case?. Guilty or not Guilty?.
I believe Zimmerman was not guilty and had everyright to defend himself. The fact the case even went to court shows how ****ed up our system is.

It isn't legal in any state to shoot someone because they're punching you.In California, he almost certainly would have been found guilty of manslaughter, at the least unintentional manslaughter.
Martin was a threat to his life and was using racial slurs. Zimmerman had everyright to shoot the thug.
