If Zimmerman had wanted to use his gun, he would have had it unholstered and ready. He would not have waited until he was attacked fom behind and o n the ground.
Have whatever opinion you want on Zimmerman, I do not care. But please, stop acting like Zimmerman wanted to murder Martin. The facts of this case have never added up to 2nd degree murder. Ever.

I'm not saying Zimmerman wanted to murder him. I am saying if you carry a gun you have the intent to use it under certain circumstances (something you said he had no plans to do).
For instance, I have a shotgun in my own home. It is my plan to shoot someone who enters my home illegally. You don't own or carry a gun without some plans for it. You are trying to act like it was an "aw shucks I have a gun on me" moment when no one does that.
