What was he doing with an assault rifle at 17?
A gun at all?
Is that legal?
I dont know - but under different circumstance he carries that AR all night and nothing ever happens with it.
No law and order, out come the vigilantes.
It has ever been so.
Vigilantism is the act of enacting perceived justice summarily and without legal authority.
Vigilantes by definition are not law, nor do they promote order.
Time for a Bondi Beach swim for you.
I left the sand and surf behind long ago, about the time I bought my first new car.
After that and now I get more enjoyment out of looking at the sand and surf than actually participating in it.
There was no law and order at the gated complex in which Trayvon Martin was staying ...homes being robbed on a regular basis.
Hence Zimmerman's presence on watch patrol.
