ORIGINAL: kdsub I would say it would then be time to apologize to Zimmerman and leave him alone...then go after the stupid ass law that was the true cause of this tragedy. ummm.. jmo but I think regardless of the SYG law, even if it was repealed, I doubt very much that would stop anyone as stupid as Zimmy.. The Zimmys of FL (and the US) think they have the right to carry concealed weapons and use them.. So imo, the law is not that relevant in stopping this from happening again since stupid people will continue doing stupid things.. What the law is tho is its a "get out of jail" card.. and it should not be a loophole for anyone (stupid or otherwise) to get away with murder.. [sm=2cents.gif] What you say is true regarding criminal/statutory law and stupid people. But this scenario is nevertheless not as likely to occur in the future because of civil (tort) law regarding neighborhood watch groups and neighborhood and condo associations. We don't know yet what damages the neighbors in this case will be held accountable for, possibly not any. But rest assured that these groups across the country are now well aware of the danger of financial ruin for residents within such associations. The relevant lawyers will come up with whatever procedures and protocols for the associations necessary to prevent a nut case such as Zimm. from being turned loose on their streets. True.. we wont know if the family will sue the HOA/residents over Martin's death or not.. As for associations changing policies, etc.. if they were legit recognized NW then their policies already state not to follow and not to carry firearms (from what has been already said).. its the dumb associations like Zimmy's HOA that needs the wake-up call.. I hope they all heed it.. but even if Zimmy had not been a self-appointed NW & had HOA approval or if he did not live in a gated community at all, imo he, as a cop wannabe Dirty Harry type, still would have felt it was his right as a "concerned citizen" that he would have acted in exactly the same manner as he did.. And in time people will forget about what happened and have to relearn the lesson again.. unfortunately..
