George Zimmerman used a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol to kill Trayvon Martin.
The jury found Zimmerman not guilty of Second Degree murder, and I might have to agree with them that the evidence did not meet the stated legal criteria. But he is morally culpable for his actions. The court found him not guilty; but he is not innocent.
George Zimmerman is free to walk the streets. Trayvon Martin is dead. Zimmerman is free to patrol the streets again. They gave him his gun back. So he can resume his volunteer neighboorhood watch carrying his gun, stalking other black young men. He might get into another fight and have to shoot again in self-defense. What then? How many times can you kill and call it self defense?
Somehow I do not feel safer, knowing Watch Capain Zimmerman is on duty with his gun.
