A matter of fact, a matter of history.
He was NOT part of any organized group, the police force, or was asked by any local business owners to show up as he did. Whether armed or not, he got into a confrontation that resulted in a death. Add this to the aforementioned facts, and junior's word along with supporters supposition and conjecture is pretty shaky in court, given no video record prior to the shooting.
What made it illegal for him to obtain a weapon? Was he a felon?
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
