That Yahoo article and the one it links too keep emphasizing the same thing: "Zimmerman violated several major parts of the Neighborhood Watch handbook"...like don't fucking kill people? Get a sense of perspective, people! The neighborhood watch bit is totally irrelevant. Don't hunt people down and shoot them. Pretty simple, really, and doesn't even need to reference a damn handbook. Thanks, ABC, way to seize on the irrelevant!
