I am seeing a trend.

Call it the Zimmerman Trend if you like.

Some people in America (I include prosecutors in this ) have a belief that, death or injury by a citizen is not the appropriate punishment for a crime. That the life of a criminal is important. Important enough to save from harm while they are committing their crime.

Stopping a crime is not worth the life or injury of a criminal. A criminal's life is too important.

Citizens have no right to stop a crime in progress, even if it is against them. They must wait for the police and (if they are alive) go through the proper legal channels to seek redress.

These Americans believe that criminals have rights, those rights must be upheld. The rights of an honest citizen is secondary. Criminals have a right to be rehabilitated by society, no matter their crime.

To me, this explains this and other similar incidents that have recently occurred.

Fortunately this is still not the case in Texas, yet.

Especially Washington DC
