[lbo-talk] zimmerman not guilty

This is simple self defense. SYG extends the right to use deadly force from
home (which exists in every state) to public places. That's all that there
is to it.

I still think that "standing one's ground" is not a good way to go about in
life, but that's different than SYG law.
