If Zimmerman feels threatened by the court, he may be forced to defend himself with lethal force.

Obviously, I'm being silly. I am engaging in reductio ad absurdum, but is my scenario really that much more absurd than the events we have been told? If the events we have been told represent the whole situation, and Zimmerman is found innocent under the terms of Stand Your Ground, then I think we may have many more absurd killings.

Absurd is extremely relative, but that is the best description of my feelings toward the situation. We have an absurd society in my opinion.
