I can't imagine this kid presented a real threat. Even if he rushed Zimmerman, Zimmerman could have shot him somewhere besides the chest. From all reports it sounds like Zimmerman was a trigger happy hot head. I firmly believe in the castle doctrine law, but it should not apply in this case. Zimmerman initiated the contact with the teen. Too often police, security guards and wannabe versions of both assume a person is up to no good because of looks, color, or any bias they choose. These people should be held to a higher standard. If the facts turn out to be as they look now then Zimmerman should get the death penalty to set an example. If you use deadly force and it is not warranted you will pay the price.
