I remember listened to Joe Rogan's podcast when he was discussing Zimmerman. He basically said that while he doesn't support Zimmerman, he knows what it is like getting the sh*t kicked out of you. He said that if Zimmerman was getting beat to the point where he may be knocked out, he would probably do just about anything to stop getting beat, as any human being would. Anything could happen if he's knocked out. His throat could be slashed. The end result of that is obviously debatable but the fact remains, if you feel your life is in danger, your instinct is to stay alive, no matter the means.
The more and more I read about this makes me think that Darren Wilson made a split decision and that his fear kept him shooting after the initial shot. I almost sympathize with the guy.
I still feel the whole way this was handled is absolutely insane, but I also think the looting and destruction of property is even more insane. I said this a while ago...we all lose.
