Zimmerman's verdict

I just found out a few hours ago about George Zimmerman's verdict, and I'm having difficulty pin pointing how I feel. I feel sad and disappointed that more wasn't done. Whether we were able or not. I know a man should not be convicted guilty with doubts, but I have a horrible gut feeling about Zimmerman. Especially with how he chose to pursue Martin after he was advised to stay in his car by the 911 dispatcher. I feel he was seeking trouble and trying to take on a position that wasn't his to take. I remember hearing that there was a claim that Martin acted as if there was a gun in his coat pocket by mimicking one with his hand. Also that Zimmerman was attacked by Martin. If some guy I didn't know approached me in the middle of the night while it was raining, I'd probably be pretty freaked out and do whatever I could to protect myself. It's not fair because no one is here to speak for Trayvon and claim "Stand your ground" on his part. And just to make it even more infuriating, here's an article that's been buzzing around:   http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57433184/fla-mom-gets-20-years-for-firing-warning-shots/
