You can't empathize with him if you've never been shot. You can only sympathize. Learn the difference!

Yep because i'm sure that was the only thing that happened
 
It looks like Zimmerman has finally turned himself in, and is charged with 2nd degree murder:

If he really was defending himself from Trayvon (because he pissed Trayvon off it the first place by following him and racially profiling him) couldn't zimmerman of just shot him in the leg or in the arm or something? That would have stopped the conflict without killing him, his arm just would have been in a sling or his leg in a cast for a few weeks.
 
Not necessarily. Any bullet wound can be fatal. Besides, unless he's a world-class sharpshooter, his aim might not be perfect.
