I think that Mr. Zimmerman was playing cop and it got a young man killed. He could have just punched the kid in the jaw instead of shooting him. He outweighed the kid by 100 pounds
There are some seriously messed up people out there, walking around with firearms. It's my understanding that Mr. Z was not part of any official Neighborhood Watch organization, he was just "patrolling" the neighborhood. Could be wrong, but I know I heard that on the news back when this first happened.
It's a shame
