What I am saying is even if he did every thing "by the book" after the shooting.  It would not have mattered as the media turned it political.  The grand jury no billed him, it should have ended there.

I  wonder if GZ was 6'2" and 250 lbs if this would have happened at all?  Martin saw a victim in GZ and proceded to make him one, just didn't count on the "great equalizer".

I agree that this was totally politically motivated and it ought to be a warning to all that carry of the possible outcome of a self-defense shooting.  How much better off would GZ have been if he had been able to show some classes on self-defense training?  MAG 40?  Mas Ayoob finally broke his silence after the verdict but imagine if he could have taken the stand and educated America.

Magoo,

If you take a GOOD or even average carry class, this will be covered.  I have attended several, and everyone of them could have been taken right from the prosecution's closing argument.  Some instructors will quote Massad, and some do not, but they will point out the affects of adrenalin, paid leave for law enforcement involved in highly charged situations, the reasoning, and invoking your right to remain silent until you have legal council and have had the time you need (according to your legal council) before opening your mouth.

After attending one of Massad's courses an instructor I work under discussed his opinion with Massad concerning Massad's four statements and our advise to limit it to less.  Massad's reply, in a way that only Massad can say it, memorize it, practice it, repeat it.

All this type of nonsense is exactly what happens when you elect racist blacks, and liberal whites into government. Sadly, we have no one to blame for this except ourselves as a nation.

I can see a DOJ lawsuit coming.  As soon as the Sharptons of the world started spouting their nonsense, Holder had to get involved either covertly or blatantly.  It is turning to be both.  We got the government that we deserve...
