George and Trayvon

Or, Cui Bono?

Things are looking more and more like George Zimmerman may, in fact, have been justified in using deadly force to defend himself from Trayvon Martin. He may well have committed an error in judgment or two, but it doesn't seem as if any of them called for a football player sitting on his chest and trying to bash his skull in on the pavement. And Trayvon Martin certainly sounds like no choir boy. But what really makes me wonder, is...

Do I need to renew my tinfoil hat, or does this seem odd to anyone else?

Y'know, those of us who are affectionately referred to by the Leftosphere as "gun nuts" often note that some tragedy will occur just in time for significant legislation to be considered...
