“An act of God.”

Those are the words that actually came out of George Zimmerman’s mouth.  The death of Trayvon Martin was an “act of God.”  He says he’s sorry that Trayvon’s parents had to bury their child, but has no regrets–well because it was an “act of God.”

I keep saying thinking that it will either make sense or I’ll actually wake up.

I don’t understand how someone who was the catalyst for a situation can claim it was an “act of God.”  I don’t think lightening struck a tree that fell on Zimmerman that knocked his arm and caused him to accidentally pull the trigger.

He was told not to pursue Martin and he did.  He was told not to get out of his car.  He was told that the police didn’t need him to do that.  But he did.  Did God speak to him to get out of the car and carry out his own “old testament” version of justice?

I don’t think so.  To have the audacity to go on TV (not that Hannity is really quality TV) and proclaim the shooting of Trayvon Martin was an “act of God” epitomizes so much of what is wrong in this country.

Regardless of any other fact:

Zimmerman pursued someone after being told not to.
Zimmerman got out of his car after police told him not to.
Zimmerman pulled out a gun and pulled the trigger.
ZIMMERMAN PULLED OUT A GUN AND PULLED THE TRIGGER.

That is not an “act of God.”  That is an act of criminality.  There is a difference.
