To suggest that a person in a struggle with another should just shoot an arm or leg is ludicrous because even if you wanted to that is most likely impossible. Do you say "excuse me, could you please let go and back off for a moment so I can aim for your arm or leg as not to hurt you badly?" People like you have all of these alternative scenarios of what Z should have done that just don't stand when you think about it.
It does matter if Trayvon was a thug because it goes to state of mind and makes it much more likely he did get aggressive with that "cracker" Zimmerman as Zimmerman claims and the evidence shows (broken nose, cuts on back of head).

As a 61 year old woman who has never fired a gun, I was speaking from my heart and not my head.
I just suppose "people like me" are searching for a better way of handling things.
You all have my sincere apologies for my interruptions...
